Different creep behaviour and microstructure of ECAP aluminium with the identical ECAP history
Král, Petr ; Dvořák, Jiří ; Sklenička, Václav ; Svoboda, Milan
Experiments were conducted on extremely coarse - grained Al (99.99%. The subsequent extrusion passes were performed by route A (no rotation between subsequent passes) up to 2 ECAP passes. Creep tests in tension were performed on the as-pressed samples at 473 K and applied stress 15 MPa. It was found that the ultrafine - grained Al specimens with the same ECAP history showed the scatter in the creep properties. In this work the microstructure changes within grains with different crystallographic orientations and near their high - angle boundaries of coarse-grained state in the sample after different ECAP passes were studied. Mutual comparison of the results of microstructural characterization of microstructure of as-received coarse-grained state and the state after different ECAP passes were performed. It is concluded that the scatter in creep properties could be influenced by inhomogeneity of ECAP microstructure.
Effect of different number of ECAP passes on creep in Cu-Zr alloy
Král, Petr ; Dvořák, Jiří ; Svoboda, Milan ; Kvapilová, Marie ; Sklenička, Václav
A coarse-grained binary Cu-0.2wt%Zr alloy was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in order to evaluate the effect of severe plastic deformation on the thermal stability of resulting ultrafine-grained microstructure after ECAP and on creep behaviour of the pressed alloy. Constant stress creep tests in tension were conducted at temperature 673 K and at the different applied stresses. It was found that the Cu-0.2Zr alloy after the first four ECAP passes exhibited higher creep resistance by comparison with unpressed state. However, the alloy processed by 8 ECAP passes showed faster creep rate than unpressed material under the same loading conditions. The measured value of stress exponent of the creep rate n~6 indicates possibility of an intragranular deformation mechanism as the rate-controlling process in creep of an alloy after 8 ECAP passes. Furthermore, creep behaviour of ECAPed material may be influenced by mesoscopic boundary sliding along shear bands.
