Abstract:

5083 Al alloy was friction stir processed (FSP) at room temperature under various experimental conditions. Two rotational speeds of 430 and 850 rpm with a single traverse feed of 90 mm/min (430-90, 850-90) were used, to investigate the effect of rotation speed. Also, another feed rate of 140 mm/min was used with a rotational speed of 430 rpm (430-140), to investigate the effect of feed rate. The processing conditions resulted in three different grain sizes of 0.95, 1.6 and 2.6 μm depending on the FSP parameters. The deformation behavior of the FSP samples was investigated at 250 C at three strain rates of 10-4, 10-3 and 10-2 s-1. The values of strain rate sensitivity, m was determined, as a function of grain size, and it decreased from 0.45 to 0.33 to 0.18 with increasing the grain size. True activation energy was calculated as 63, 95, 157 kJ/mole for the grain sizes of 0.95, 1.6 and 2.6 μm, respectively. These calculated values are comparable to grain boundary sliding of magnesium in aluminum (69 – 78 kJ mol-1), magnesium in aluminum (~115 kJ mole-1) and aluminum lattice diffusion (~143 kJ mol-1 ). The change in the deformation mechanism with grain size was discussed in some details.
