Mechanisms of cavity growth in a fine-grained 7475 Al superplastic alloy

Under creep conditions, cavity growth may be controlled by vacancy diffusion or power-law creep. The two growth mechanisms are examined with reference to a superplastic 7475 Al alloy as a function of test temperature, superimposed strain rate and starting grain size. It is found that power-law cavity growth by plastic deformation of the matrix surrounding the cavities dominates at all test conditions. In addition, growth and interlinkage of cavities is an important parameter in controlling the ease and type of fracture and is enhanced by the ease of superplastic deformation.     

超塑处理对喷射成形GCr15钢超塑性的影响

研究了超塑处理对喷射成形GCr15钢超塑性的影响，超塑性拉实验结果表明，未经超塑处理的铸态试样，延伸率为119％，经过二次油淬和二次油淬＋高温回火超塑处理的两种试样，延伸率分别为328％和671％，变形温度和应变速率对GCr15钢的超塑性有一定的影响，但材料的微观组织对其超塑性具有决定性作用，超塑处理改变了材料试样的微观组织，导致其超塑性发生变化，经过二次油淬＋高温回火超塑处理后试样具有球化组织，其超塑性最好，未经超塑处理的铸态试样具有珠光体组织，超塑性最差，经过二次油淬超塑处理后试样的组织是马氏体和少量碳体物的混合，其超塑性介于上述两种试样之间，喷射成形工艺使GCr15钢获得均匀细化的稳定组织，这对于细晶超塑性是必要的，超塑处理材料的超塑性得到更大的提高。

SiCw/MB15镁基复合材料超塑性变形空洞行为

用金相显微镜、扫描电镜对SiCw/MB15镁基复合材料在340℃,应变速率为1 67×10-2s-1变形条件下超塑性变形过程中空洞的演化规律进行了研究,并对空洞体积分数与延伸率的关系进行了测定.结果表明:在SiCw/MB15镁基复合材料超塑性拉伸过程中,当延伸率达到50%时,在三叉晶界处开始形成三角形空洞;空洞的长大在变形初期由扩散控制,逐渐发展成球形;当延伸率超过100%时,空洞长大主要由基体塑性变形控制,试样中沿拉伸方向出现空洞链;随着延伸率的增加,空洞链逐渐相互连接,最终导致试样断裂.

For aluminum alloy complex components, it can solve the difficulties of stamping and low speed of superplasticity.     

Some guidelines for promoting high temperature deformation of metallic alloys

Capacity to reach large deformation at high temperature is an important issue in many forming processes of metallic alloys. It is well known that a low value of the stress exponent (or a concomitant high value of the strain rate sensitivity parameter) is a key point for controlling resistance to necking. A first way for decreasing the stress exponent is to get superplastic properties but it frequently requires dealing with fine microstructures which can be difficult to produce and to preserve. Moreover, in the case of single phase alloys, like aluminum or magnesium alloys, superplastic deformation generally induces damage which can result in premature fracture or damaged components after forming. The aim of this paper is to give some guidelines for promoting high temperature deformation of metallic alloys, with a particular attention given to superplastic forming. The possibility to reduce the temperature of superplastic forming (SPF) for titanium alloys, the capacity to get a better understanding of the specificities of damage process in the case of superplastic deformation and the ability to get large strains to fracture avoiding the production of fine grains before strain are more specifically discussed.     

The study of the technology parameters on the superplasticity of the new Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Ni–Zr base alloy

Al–Zn–Mg–Cu aluminum alloy contain 0.3% Zr and 4% Ni was processed by traditional hot and cold rolling with a total reduction from 0  to  80%. The relationship between superplastic behavior and reduction of cold deformation and casting cooling rate was analyzed. It is shown that the decrease in the reduction of cold rolling do not significantly influence on flow stress and elongation. Decrease in casting cooling rate leads to insignificantly decrease in superplastic indicators. Alloy exhibits advanced superplasticity: the elongation of 400–800% at the strain rates of (5 × 10^–3–1 × 10^–1) s^–1.
