Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Industry standard 6061 and 6063 Aluminum alloys were processed by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at room temperature using a Bc route with a constant feed rate of 0.25 mm/s through a die angle of 90° between the die channels. The influence of ECAE processing on the evolution of the microstructure, microtexture and microhardness in the material was studied using orientation imaging microscopy (OIM), X-ray diffractometry, and Vickers microhardness testing. Detailed analysis was carried out on samples of the as-received, one, two, four and eight pass conditions.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials strengthened by conventional methods such as strain hardening, solute additions, precipitation and grain size refinement are often adopted in industrial processes. But there is limitation to the amount of deformation that these conventional methods can impact to a material. This study focused on the review of major mechanical properties of aluminum alloys in the presence of an ultrafine grain size into polycrystalline materials by subjecting the metal to an intense plastic straining through simple shear without any corresponding change in the cross-sectional dimensions of the sample. The effect of the heavy strain rate on the microstructure of aluminum alloys was in refinement of the coarse grains into ultrafine grain size by introducing a high density of dislocations and subsequently re-arranging the dislocations to form an array of grain boundaries. Hence, this investigation is aimed at gathering contributions on the influence of equal channel angular extrusion toward improving the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys through intense plastic strain.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-purity (99.99%) aluminum that had been subjected to equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was analyzed by orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The analysis of microtexture and microstructure by OIM will be reviewed. The ECAP pressing was conducted at room temperature with a die that had a 900 angle between the die channels and repetitive pressings followed either route A, Bc or C. Billets were examined after one pass and after four or twelve passes by each of the ECAP routes. After one pressing operation, the deformation-induced microstructure was inhomogeneous at the resolution of OIM and consisted mostly of subgrains. Following four pressings by each of the routes, the microstructures were homogeneous and exhibited similar (sub)grain sizes l.3mum). Elongation and alignment of the (sub)grains with the shearing direction of the last pressing operation was observed in all cases. The corresponding disorientation distributions showed significant increases in the fractions of high-angle boundaries (theta greater than l5 deg) although processing route had little apparent effect on the observed distributions. However, distinct differences were noted in the microtexture data. After 12 pressing operations by any of the different routes the grain size was reduced further to about 10mum. The fraction of high-angle boundaries also increased slightly but, again, processing route had little effect on the disorientation distribution. Different textures were apparent for each processing route, although texture data for all routes indicated that a 111 tended to align with the shear plane of the final pressing pass.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrafine grained (UFG), and nanocrystalline (nc) materials are of interest because of the high strength, compared with coarse grained counterparts. Several current methods to fabricate UFG and nc materials result in samples too small for practical use. In addition, the fabrication of nc materials, in particular, is difficult, and defects in the material causes significant reduction in strength and ductility of these materials. The present study uses Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) to produce relatively large consolidates of UFG and nc materials. ECAE has been used to consolidate micro and nanocrystalline powders. The behavior of consolidated pure Cu and aluminum alloys in the nano and micron size were explored. The effects of different routes, extrusion temperature, and post-ECAE processing on microstructure and mechanical behavior were studied. Processing parameters were explored to determine the influence of each parameter on the consolidation performance. The goals of experimenting with different processing parameters were to increase the ductility of the material, while maintaining relatively strong specimens. Comparisons were made with a recently developed powder compaction constitutive model and corresponding simulations. ECAE of microcrystalline powders produced relatively ductile materials, with high strength. Swaging of these consolidated powders produced samples which were softer and less ductile in tension, than the non-swaged samples. ECAE produced effective consolidation of Cu nanoparticles with average sizes of 100 nm, with an ultimate tensile strength of 680 MPa, with a fracture strain as much as 10%, which is higher than previously reported 7% [Haouaoui, 2005].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metals with grain sizes smaller than 1-micrometer have received much attention in the past decade. These materials have been classified as ultra fine grain (UFG) materials (grain sizes in the range of 100 to 1000-nm) and nano-materials (grain size 100-nm) depending on the grain size. This report addresses the production of bulk UFG metals through the use of severe plastic deformation processing, and their subsequent use as stock material for further thermomechanical processing, such as forging. A number of severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods for producing bulk UFG metals have been developed since the early 1990s. The most promising of these processes for producing large size stock that is suitable for forging is the equal channel angular extrusion or pressing (ECAE/P) process. This process involves introducing large shear strain in the work-piece by pushing it through a die that consists of two channels with the same cross-sectional shape that meet at an angle to each other. Since the cross-sections of the two channels are the same, the extruded product can be re-inserted into the entrance channel and pushed again through the die. Repeated extrusion through the ECAE/P die accumulates sufficient strain to breakdown the microstructure and produce ultra fine grain size. It is well known that metals with very fine grain sizes (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous investigations have demonstrated that intense plastic deformation is an attractive procedure for producing an ultrafine grain size in metallic materials. Torsional deformation under high pressure and equal-channel angular extrusion are two techniques that can produce microstructures with grain sizes in the submicrometer and nanometer range. Materials with these microstructures have many attractive properties. The microstructures formed by these two processing techniques are essentially the same and thus the processes occurring during deformation should be the same. Most previous studies have examined the final microstructures produced as a result of severe plastic deformation and the resulting properties. Only a limited number of studies have examined the evolution of microstructure. As a result, some important aspects of ultra-fine grain formation during severe plastic deformation remain unknown. There is also limited data on the influence of the initial state of the material on the microstructural evolution and mechanisms of ultra-fine grain formation. This limited knowledge base makes optimization of processing routes difficult and retards commercial application of these techniques. The objective of the present work is to examine the microstructure evolution during severe plastic deformation of a 2219 aluminum alloy. Specific attention is given to the mechanism of ultrafine grain formation as a result of severe plastic deformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major issue of energy saving and conservation of the environment in the world is being emphasized to us to concentrate on lightweight materials in which aluminium alloys are contributing more in applications in the twenty-first century. Aluminium and its related materials possess lighter weight, considerable strength, more corrosion resistance and ductility. Especially from the past one decade, the use of aluminium alloys is increasing in construction field, transportation industries, packaging purposes, automotive, defence, aircraft and electrical sectors. Around 85% is being used in the form of wrought products, which replace the use of cast iron. Further, the major features of aluminium alloy are recyclability and its abundant availability in the world. In general, aluminium and its related materials are being processed via casting, drawing, forging, rolling, extrusion, welding, powder metallurgy process, etc. To improve the physical and mechanical properties, scientists are doing more research and adding some second-phase particles in to it called composites in addition to heat treatment. Therefore, to explore more in this field, the present book has been aimed and focused to bridge all scientists who are working in this field. The main objective of the present book is to focus on aluminium, its alloys and its composites, which include, but are not limited to, the various processing routes and characterization techniques in both macro- and nano-levels.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was applied to achieve grain refinement of Al-3 mass%Mg alloys containing 0.2 mass%Sc. 0.2 mass%Fe or 0.1 mass%Zn The thermal stability of the fine-grained structures was examined by conducting static annealing experiments. The fine grain sizes produced by ECAP were essentially retained up to a temperature of 523K for the Fe-containing and Zr-containing alloys and up to a temperature as high as 773 K for the Sc-containing alloy. The three alloys with Sc. Fe and Zr additions were pulled to failure in tension at 523 K corresponding to 0.59Tm. where Tm is the absolute melting point of the alloy, and maximum elongations of 640%, 370% and 390% were obtained at an initial strain rate of 3.3 x l0-4 s-1 respectively. Such elongations resulted in more than three times or approximately twice the elongation achieved in a binary Al-3%M alloy. It is shown that either Fe or Zr may be used as an alternative element in place of Sc to attain low temperature superplasticity. Tensile testing was also conducted on the Sc-containing ternary alloy at a temperature as low as 473K corresponding to O.54Tm. A maximum elongation of 420% was attained at an initial strain rate of 3.3 % l0-4 s-1. This appears to be the lowest homologous temperature reported to date for superplasticity of Al-based alloys.
