Influence of Microstructure Changes on the Mechanical Behaviour of Aluminium Processed by ECAP Method
Král, Petr ; Dvořák, Jiří ; Svoboda, Milan ; Sklenička, Václav
Extremely coarse – grained aluminium (99.99 %) was subjected to severe plastic deformation (Equal-Channel Angular Pressing) at room temperature. The properties of the ECAP material may considerably differ from properties of material with a standard coarse grain size. The largest changes of microstructure take place during the first four ECAP passes. Thus, the microstructure after twelve passes consists of roughly equiaxed grains (~??m) with high fraction of high angle boundaries (~70%). In this work the behaviour of ECAP material with different number of passes at the tensile and creep tests has been studied. It is shown that ECAP aluminum provides a significant increase of the ultimate strength, however, there is low strain hardening during tensile deformation. The creep resistance of aluminum increased considerably already after one ECAP pass. However, repetitive ECAP pressing lead to a noticeable degrease in the creep properties. ECAP microstructure was examined in terms of the
