Abstract: | Microstructural and property evolution of commercial pure Al subjected to multi-axil compression (MAC) and subsequent annealing treatment were investigated. After series of MAC pressings up to 15 passes, the samples were annealed at different temperatures. The deformed and deformed with sequent annealing treatment samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile tests. The present results showed that on annealing the grain structures coarsen and transform from lamellar to equiaxed ones. Remarkably, the fraction of high angle grain boundaries drastically increases from 29.3% to 76.3% after annealing at 60 °C. Meanwhile, a significant decrease of lattice microstrain is observed after annealing, from 0.0839% to 0.0731% at 130 °C. A controlled 30 min annealing treatment on ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al at 60 °C can result obviously in a higher strength and a lower elongation, which may be associated with the nucleation and subsequent motion of dislocations in grain boundaries. As the annealing temperature is above 60 °C, the yield strength decreases and elongation increases gradually, which is attributed to the grain coarsening and microstructural enhancement. |
