Microstructure Evolution in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag Alloy during ECAP at 300°C

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy with small additions of zirconium and scandium was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) by using route BC at 300°C to strains ranging from ~1 to ~12. Initially, the alloy was subjected to solution treatment followed by water quenching; subsequent overageing was carried out at 380°C for 3 h. It was shown that continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) occurs during ECAP resulting in partially recrystallized structure; at a total strain of ~12, the portion of high-angle boundaries (HAB) attains 50 pct., average misorientation is ~25°. Crystallites having elongated shape and an average size of ~1 μm are evolved after a total strain of ~12.
