Recrystallization of ECAP-Processed AA4343 Aluminium Alloy Containing Large Second Phase Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ECAP-processing on the texture and the microstructure development of the deformed and recrystallized material. The commercial purity AA4343 aluminium alloy, containing very large second phase particles (SPP) of pure silicon, was deformed via route C up to 10 passes and then annealed. The samples were characterized by TEM and SEM equipped with high resolution EBSD. It was found that the microstructure of the deformed state in areas far from coarse SPP was very similar to that observed in pure aluminium. The orientations of the new grains were scattered but not random and only specific groups of orientations were observed.
