Influence of different rolling routes on mechanical anisotropy and formability of commercially pure titanium sheet

Influence of three different rolling routes on mechanical anisotropy and formability of commercially pure titanium sheet was investigated. Route A and Route B are unidirectional rolling (UR) where the rolling direction is along initial rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), respectively. Route C is cross rolling (CR) where the rolling direction is changed by 90° after each rolling pass. The microstructure and texture, tensile mechanical properties including strength and elongation, and also the anisotropy of the UR and CR sheets were investigated at room temperature. The XRD results indicate that the texture intensity of rolled samples gradually weakens from Route A to Route C. Compared with Route A and Route B rolled samples, the Route C rolled samples show a smaller planar anisotropy. The deep drawing tests reveal that cross rolling can avoid the occurrence of earing. Erichsen tests indicate that rolling routes have an effect on stretch formability of pure titanium sheet.     

Effect of rolling temperature on microstructure and texture of twin roll cast ZK60 magnesium alloy

Twin roll cast ZK60 alloy strip/sheet with final thickness of 0.5 mm was prepared,and effect of rolling temperature on microstructure and texture development was investigated using OM and XRD technique,microstructure and texture were measured on specimens subjected to rolling experiment at different rolling temperature,and macrotexture was also evaluated by X-ray diffraction method.In addition,the(1 010)and(0002) pole figures were measured,and the tensile test was performed to reveal the influence of rolling temperature on mechanical properties.The results show that the microstructure of ZK60 alloy sheet consisted of fibrous structure with elongated grains,and shear bands along the rolling direction after warm rolling.Dynamic recrystallization could be found during the warm rolling process at rolling temperature 350 °C and above.And many fine recrystallized grain could be observed in the shear bands area.It is a little difficult to see the recrystallized grain in the sheet warm rolled at 300 °C because of higher density of shear bands.The warm rolled ZK60 alloy sheet exhibited strong(0002) pole texture,the intensity of(0002) pole figure decreases with the increasing of rolling temperature and the basal pole tilted slightly to the transverse direction after warm rolling.     

同步和异步轧制AZ31镁合金板材的织构及力学性能

采用同步轧制(NR)和异步轧制(AR)工艺对AZ31镁合金挤压板材进行了轧制,研究了轧制过程中组织和织构的演化,以及总压下量和异步比对轧材组织、织构和力学性能的影响。结果表明,在压下量为3%～15%的范围内,同步轧制与异步轧制板材在晶粒尺寸以及均匀性上有相似的变化趋势。轧制过程中,在变形初期,随压下量的增加,孪晶数量不断增加,孪晶使同步轧制与异步轧制板材中晶粒取向都发生偏转,即C轴趋向于垂直于法向(ND),从而使初始挤压板材的丝织构强度减弱;而当压下量达到24%时,孪晶大量减少或消失。在压下量为3%～24%的范围内,同步轧制对板材力学性能的影响并不明显,峰值应变呈交替变化;异步轧制板材在压下量达到24%左右时,表现出了良好的塑性变形能力,抗拉强度达到309MPa,峰值应变达到0.163。     

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Mg–xAl–1Sn–0.3Mn( x = 1, 3, 5) Alloy Sheets

The influence of Al alloying on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of Mg–x Al–1 Sn–0.3 Mn alloy sheets was investigated. The microstructure of Mg– x Al–1 Sn–0.3 Mn consisted of α-Mg and Mg 17 Al 12 precipitates. Alloying with Al increased the amount of Mg_(17)Al_(12) and the average grain size. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out along the extrusion direction(ED), the transverse direction(TD) and 45° toward the ED. Mg–5 Al–1 Sn–0.3 Mn alloy sheet exhibited the best combination of mechanical properties along the ED: a yield strength of 142 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength of 282 MPa and an elongation of 23%. The good performance of Mg–5 Al–1 Sn–0.3 Mn sheet was mainly attributed to the large quantity of Mg_(17)Al_(12) precipitates and a weak basal texture. Annealing caused static dynamic recrystallization, refined the grain size and enhanced the mechanical properties: yield strength of 186 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 304 MPa, elongation of 21% along ED. Both strength and ductility were enhanced by Al alloying.     

Effect of large strain cross rolling on microstructure and properties of Al−Li alloy plates with high magnesium content

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron backscattered diffraction imaging (EBSD) and X-ray diffractometry were used to analyze the microstructure and texture characteristics of Al?9.8Mg?1.5Li?0.4Mn alloy cross-rolled and extruded plates, and the tensile properties and deep drawing performance were measured. The results show that the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization was promoted, the grains were refined and the preferred orientation of the recrystallized grains was improved by large strain cross rolling. Compared with CBA and CCB rolling methods, CBB rolling method significantly reduced the orientation density of the typical Brass texture {110}〈112〉 in the extruded plates. The orientation densities of Copper texture {112}〈111〉 and Brass texture {110}〈112〉 on the β orientation line in the CBB rolled plates were the lowest, and there were no typical texture features in the plates. Meanwhile, better deep drawing could be gained in the CBB rolled plates, and the mechanical properties of the 0°, 45° and 90° directions were basically the same. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation at room temperature for the CBB rolled plates were 617 MPa, 523 MPa and over 20.1%, respectively. The deviation of the mechanical properties at different directions was less than 3%.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of AM31 magnesium alloys processed by differential speed rolling

Ingot casted AM31 alloys were rolled at a warm temperature of 350 °C and subsequently rolled at 300 °C using equal speed rolling (ESR) and differential speed rolling (DSR) with speed ratios of top roll to bottom roll, 1.2 and 1.5, respectively. Microstructures, textures and mechanical properties of the as-rolled AM31 sheets were examined. Ductility was improved by DSR due to inclination of basal poles and weakened texture. The sheets produced by DSR with a speed ratio of 1.2 showed highest strength and ductility at room temperature, which can be attributed to homogeneous fine grain distribution and tilted basal texture.     

Effect of deformation mode,dynamic recrystallization and twinning on rolling texture evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloys

In order to obtain quantitative relationship between (0002) texture intensity and hot rolling conditions, conventional rolling experiments on AZ31 magnesium alloys were performed with 20%–40% reductions and temperatures within the range of 300–500 °C. Shear strain and equivalent strain distributions along the thickness of the rolled sheets were calculated experimentally using embedded pin in a rolling sheet. Rolling microstructures and textures in the sheet surface and center layers of the AZ31 alloys were measured by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD). Effects of the rolling strain, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and twinning on the texture evolution of the AZ31 alloys were investigated quantitatively. It is found that the highest (0002) basal texture intensities are obtained at a starting rolling temperature of 400 °C under the same strain. Strain–temperature dependency of the (0002) texture intensity of the AZ31 alloy is derived.     

Effect of heat treatment on tensile and fatigue deformation behavior of extruded Al-12 wt%Si alloy

This study investigated the effect of heat treatment on tensile and high-cycle fatigue deformation behavior of extruded Al-12 wt%Si alloy. The material used in this study was extruded at a ratio of 17.7: 1 through extrusion process. To identify the effects of heat treatment, T6 heat treatment (515 °C/1 h, water quenching, and then 175 °C/10 h) was performed. Microstructural observation identified Si phases aligned in the extrusion direction in both extruded alloy (F) and heat treated alloy (T6). The average grain size of F alloy was 8.15 °C, and that of T6 alloy was 8.22 °C. Both alloys were composed of Al matrix, Si, Al₂Cu, Al₃Ni and AlFeSi phases. As T6 heat treatment was applied, Al₂Cu phases became more finely and evenly distributed. Tensile results confirmed that yield strength increased from 119.0 MPa to 329.0 MPa, ultimate tensile strength increased from 226.8 MPa to 391.4 MPa, and the elongation decreased from 16.1% to 5.0% as T6 heat treatment was applied. High-cycle fatigue results represented F alloy’s fatigue limit as 185 MPa and T6 alloy’s fatigue limit as 275 MPa, indicating that high-cycle fatigue properties increased significantly as heat treatment was conducted. Through tensile and fatigue fracture surface analysis, this study considered the deformation behaviors of extruded and heat treated Al-Si alloys in relation to their microstructures.     

Tailoring the Texture and Mechanical Anisotropy of Multi-cross Rolled Mg-Zn-Gd Alloy by Annealing

The unidirectional rolled Mg-Zn-Gd sheet usually exhibited non-basal texture with two peaks whose tilting angle were about 42° from normal direction to transverse direction (TD), which would cause the mechanical anisotropy. In this study, multi-cross rolling followed by annealing was used to tailor the texture and mechanical anisotropy for Mg-Zn-Gd alloy. With increasing annealing temperature, the rolled basal texture with two peaks gradually transformed into the circle texture with multi-peaks. In order to figure out different texture components evolution during annealing, the basal texture, R-texture and T-texture component were defined and studied. The results showed that the change of R-texture and T-texture component was asynchronous with increasing annealing temperature from 250 to 400 °C. The tilting angle of R-texture component increased slightly, while the tilting angle of T-texture component increased obviously, and this phenomenon was attributed to the preferential nucleation at grain nucleation stage rather than preferential grain growth. The yield strength along TD was more sensitive to annealing temperature compared with that along rolling direction (RD), resulting in different descending slopes and yield strength anisotropy with increasing annealing temperature. Annealing at 300 °C was the best annealing temperature due to low yield strength anisotropy, moderate strength and good elongation among these annealing temperatures. The Schmid factor for basal slip indicated that the activity of basal slip along RD increased slightly, while that along TD increased obviously with increasing annealing temperature from 250 to 400 °C, which should be caused by the asynchronous change of R-texture component and T-texture component, consequently resulting in the transformation from isotropic yield strength to anisotropic yield strength.

A High-Ductility Mg–Zn–Ca Magnesium Alloy

A new kind of Mg–2 Zn–0.6 Ca(wt%) alloy was fabricated by casting and hot extrusion as a high-ductility structural material. The extruded alloy exhibits a superior elongation of ～30%, yield strength of 130 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 280 MPa along the extrusion direction at room temperature. Microstructure, texture and tensile properties of the extruded alloy were investigated in details. The remarkable improvement of ductility is ascribed to the weakened basal texture, refined grains and a small number of second phase in the alloy.     

Influence of rolling route on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy during asymmetric reduction rolling

Four different routes of asymmetric reduction rolling were conducted on AZ31 magnesium alloy to investigate their effect on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties. Route A is the forward rolling; while during routes B and C the sheets are rotated 180° in rolling direction and normal direction, respectively; route D is the unidirectional rolling. The strain states of rolled sheets were analyzed by the finite element method, while the microstructure and texture were observed using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron back-scattered diffraction techniques, and the mechanical properties were measured by tensile test. The results show that route D produced the largest effective strain. Compared with other samples, sample D exhibited a homogeneous microstructure with fine grains as well as a weak and tilted texture, in corresponding, it performed excellent tensile properties, which suggested that route D was an effective way to enhance the strength and plasticity of AZ31 sheet.     

Microstructural Evolution and Anisotropic Weakening Mechanism of ZK60 Magnesium Alloy Processed by Isothermal Repetitive Upsetting Extrusion

The isothermal repetitive upsetting extrusion (RUE) was implemented to process ZK60 magnesium alloy at 380 °C. Then, the relationship between the microstructural characters, including grain refinement and texture evolution, and the mechanical performance of the alloy was investigated. Results showed that after 3 passes of RUE, the average grain size was refined from 115.0 to 26.5 μm, which was mainly caused by the continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization. Meanwhile, the elongation of the alloy increased from 13.8 to 21.6%, and the superplasticity (142%) of the alloy has been achieved in the following high temperature tensile test, which is very beneficial for the further processing of the alloy into components. In particular, the alloy formed a distinctive texture distributed between < 2-1-11 > and < 2-1-14 > , which was greatly related to the Schmid factor of extrusion direction (ED) and transverse direction (TD). This texture changed the initiation ability of basal and prismatic slip in both directions and inhibited the initiation of partial tensile twinning in TD; thus, the anisotropy in both directions was weakened. As expected, the tensile yield strength difference decreased from 25.9 to 3.4 MPa, but it was used as the cost of tensile yield strength in ED.     

AZ91镁合金的挤压和析出硬化行为(英文)

挤压比为4:1,将铸态AZ91镁合金分别在250,300和350℃下进行挤压,随后进行析出硬化处理(T6)。经过热挤压和析出硬化处理后,铸态AZ91镁合金中粗大的和偏析Mg17Al12析出相被细化并均匀分布在α-镁基体中。在不同的挤压温度下合金中发生了部分或全部动态再结晶。经挤压后,该合金的极限抗拉强度从铸态的190MPa增加到570MPa。AZ91镁合金的时效硬化特征与晶粒尺寸有关。在250、300和350℃下以4:1的挤压比挤压该合金后,获得峰值硬度的时效时间分别为35、30和20h。SEM观察到在AZ91基体中存在均匀细小的Mg17Al12析出相。     

Effects of extrusion and heat treatments on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–8Zn–1Al–0.5Cu–0.5Mn alloy

The effects of extrusion and heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–8Zn–1Al–0.5Cu– 0.5Mn magnesium alloy were investigated. Bimodal microstructure is formed in this alloy when it is extruded at 230 and 260 °C, and complete DRX occurs at the extruding temperature of 290 °C. The basal texture of as-extruded alloys is reduced gradually with increasing extrusion temperature due to the larger volume fraction of recrystallized structure at higher temperatures. For the alloy extruded at 290 °C, four different heat treatments routes were investigated. After solution + aging treatments, the grains sizes become larger. Finer and far more densely dispersed precipitates are found in the alloy with solution + double-aging treatments compared with alloy with solution + single-aging treatment. Tensile properties are enhanced remarkably by solution + double-aging treatment with the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation being 298 MPa, 348 MPa and 18%, respectively. This is attributed to the combined effects of fine dynamically recrystallized grains and the uniformly distributed finer precipitates.     

Microstructure,Mechanical Properties and Texture Evolution of Mg-Al-Zn-La-Gd-Y Magnesium Alloy by Hot Extrusion and Multi-Pass Rolling

A high-ductility Mg-8.10Al-0.42Zn-0.51Mn-1.52La-1.10Gd-0.86Y (wt%) alloy was developed by hot extrusion and multi-rolling processes. Relationships between microstructure, mechanical properties and texture evolution of the extruded and rolled alloy were investigated. The rolling process had significant effect on grain refinement of the extruded plate. The grain size reduced from 12.3 to 4.9 μm with the increasing rolling pass. With the increase in rolling pass, the proportion of dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grains increases due to particle-stimulated nucleation, grain boundary nucleation and twin induced nucleation. In the process of multiple rolling, the basal pole gradually tilted from normal direction to transverse direction due to the asymmetric deformation and irregular grain deformation, resulting in the weakening of the base texture. The results showed that grain refinement and texture weakening were the main reasons for the good ductility of the alloy.     

脉冲电流轧制对AZ31镁合金微观组织与力学性能的影响

对比研究脉冲电流轧制工艺与温轧工艺对AZ31镁合金板材的力学性能、织构、微观组织与沉淀相等方面的影响。结果表明：脉冲电流具有促进冷轧AZ31镁合金低温再结晶能力的作用。脉冲电流轧制后的镁合金板材组织由细小的等轴再结晶粒与析出相构成,没有发现孪晶组织,并且完全再结晶,原始晶粒均被细小的再结晶晶粒取代,再结晶晶粒内的位错密度低。而温轧镁合金组织则由稍拉长变形孪晶、粗大的再结晶晶粒和析出相构成,再结晶的晶粒内位错密度高。两种轧制方式下的镁合金析出相均为Mg17Al12。脉冲电流轧制后镁合金的织构具有典型基面织构的特征,而脉冲电流轧制镁合金的织构则出现横向偏转;脉冲电流轧制后镁合金的屈服强度与伸长率均比温轧镁合金的大,但抗拉强度正好相反。     

热处理状态对2198铝锂合金板材各向异性力学行为的影响

应用铝锂合金板材生产蒙皮等大型薄壁结构零件是航空制造轻量化的重要途径,本文利用单向拉伸系统测试了不同热处理状态下2198铝锂合金板材沿着轧向（RD）、45°和横向（TD）方向的力学行为,研究了热处理对其各向异性的影响,并从晶体学织构、时效相和断口形貌分析了微观机制。结果发现,新淬火和自然时效状态的2198铝锂合金板材具有相似的各向异性,RD方向具有最高的强度、最高的硬化率和最低的延伸率,45°方向则具有最低的强度、最低的硬化率和最高的延伸率,主要原因是轧制板材存在强烈的<112>{110}织构。但是,经人工时效后的2198铝锂合金板材的各向异性因不均匀析出的T1相而发生了明显的变化,45°方向上的强度得到了较大程度的提升,具有和TD方向相同的水平,硬化率发生了明显的降低,TD方向成为硬化率最大的方向,而延伸率和断口形状的各向异性并未变化,可见T1相导致2198铝锂合金板材发生了各向异性的强化,却对断裂行为的各向异性影响较小。本文的研究旨在明确热处理对2198铝锂合金板材各向异性力学行为的影响,为开发其塑性成形工艺提供理论依据,有助于提出2198铝锂合金板材强韧化的新思路。
