Effect of Multi-Forging Condition on Deformed Structure and Mechanical Properties of A 99.995 Percent High Purity Aluminum

Abstract:

A purity of 99.995% high purity aluminum was deformed by multi-forging with different conditions (forged by different forging passes with and without water cooling). The effect of multi-forging on macrostructure and mechanical property of the high purity aluminum was investigated. The results show that the deformation heat during the MDF process can obviously affect the recrystallization of the high purity aluminum. Recrystallization occurs in the easy deformation zone of the sample as forged by 3 passes at room temperature. While, when the sample are cooling by water for each pass, no recrystallization occurs in the whole sample as forged by 9 passes. When the high purity forged at room temperature, the structure difference between the easy deformation zone and stagnant zone can not be eliminated by increasing the forging pass to 9. While, the area of the recrystal grain extends with increment of the forging pass.
