The Role of Preliminary Heat Treatment in the Formation of Ultrafine-Grained Structure in the Implementation of the Combined Process "Rolling - Equal Channel Angular Pressing"

Abstract:

In recent years was developed a number of new methods of processing of metals by pressure aimed at obtaining metal with sub-ultrafine-grained structure, the basic principle of which is the realization in the process of deformation of simple shear scheme. One of those ways is pressing blanks in matrices of different designs, in particular in equal-channel step die. However, this method has a significant disadvantage - it can’t be used for deforming of lengthy billets. Another disadvantage of this method of deformation is that it does not provide the continuity of the pressing process. For removing these shortcomings at the Department "Metal Forming" of Karaganda state industrial University was developed a combined process "Rolling-pressing" using equal channel step matrix with calibrated and smooth rolls. This work investigates the impact of the proposed combined process "rolling-pressing", and also preliminary and final heat treatment during the implementation of this combined process on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of copper alloy. Obtained in the course of these studies, the results indicate that the proposed technology can be recommended for implementation in production to produce blanks of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys with ultrafine-grained structure and high level of mechanical properties.
