Abstract:

Deformation response of Al-4.46Mg-0.48Mn alloy under uniaxial tensile loading was investigated at temperatures ranging from 400°C - 525°C and at strain rates of 3x10^-3 s^-1, 1x 10^-3 s^-1 & 10^-4 s^-1. The alloy exhibited a maximum elongation >480% at a strain rate of 10^-3s^-1 and 525°C. At all conditions, the dominant deformation mechanism governing the superplastic deformation was investigated as a function of strain rate and temperature. The contributions of strain-rate sensitivity and strain hardening were analyzed in relation to the observed tensile ductility. The strain rate sensitivity index (m) and average activation energy (Q) values revealed that the dominant deformation mechanism is grain boundary sliding (GBS). The GBS phenomenon was further confirmed through high magnification examination of deformed surface. Optical microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that dynamic re-crystallization occurs during hot deformation of the alloy which causes reasonable enhancement of plasticity.
