本文评述了低压电容铝箔的成分、热处理、显微结构和比电容之间的关系,所得结论是:(1) 硬态高纯铝箔由于有高的位错密度,在腐蚀、形成之后的比电容比退火铝箔高;(2)高纯铝箔经过适当热处理后的比电容,随表面立方织构分数的增加而增大;(3)某些微量元素使退火高纯铝箔的位错密度和表面立方织构分数都得到增加,因而更有效地增大其比电容;(4)退火铝和铝合金箔的晶粒尺寸对比电容没有明显影响。     

冷轧形变量对异步轧制高纯铝箔织构的影响

应用取向分布函数(ODF)研究和分析了异步轧制高纯铝箔的形变织构和再结晶织构.结果表明:异步轧制高纯铝箔的形变织构除了C{112}<111>、B{110}<112>和S{123}<634>织构组分外,还有较强的CubeND{001}<110>和{102}织构.异步轧制高纯铝箔的再结晶织构由强的立方织构{001}<100>和弱的R{124}<211>织构组成.随着形变量的增加,异步轧制高纯铝箔的形变织构和再结晶织构呈现规律性的变化,{102}织构减少,S织构先增后减,速比较小时C织构近线性减少,速比较大时C织构则先增后减.异步轧制高纯铝箔的退火样品中有很强的立方织构,这与异步轧制提高高纯铝箔的形变储能有关,形变量过大时,立方织构随形变量的增加急剧减少.{102}织构有利于再结晶立方织构的加强.

中间退火及成品退火速率对高压阳极铝箔微观组织的影响

采用不同中间退火温度及成品退火速率对高压阳极铝箔进行处理,并利用EBSD及XRD技术分析其微观组织结构,尤其是织构的变化规律。结果表明,中间退火温度对后续成品退火中形成立方织构起到了关键作用,这可能是由于低温中间退火保留了大量的形变储能,为成品退火时立方织构的形成增加了形核核心。同时,低的中间退火温度造成立方织构较理想位置偏转程度更大。随着成品退火加热速率的增大,铝箔再结晶分数及再结晶晶粒尺寸逐渐减小,这是由于退火加热速率的增大(低于临界加热速率),缩短了晶界迁移的时间,减缓了再结晶的发生。     

3104铝合金再结晶织构的研究

微观组织对电解电容器铝箔比电容的影响

主要探讨了微观组织结构对电解电容器用铝箔比电容的影响。分析表明，高压阳极铝箔需要具有95％以上的立方织构以及一定的晶粒度；软各中低压阳极铝箔需要有75％～85％的立方织构，防止粗大的第二相产生，正品粒要求细小；硬念中低压阳极铝箔需要有高的位错密度和85％以上的(110)织构。硬态负极铝箔要求全属间化合物粒子细小弥散分布在Al基体中，均匀的位错分布和柯氏气团，从而获得均匀的海绵孔腐蚀。

A study of precipitation and recrystallization behaviour of aluminium alloy AA1235

The recrystallization behaviour of 92% cold rolled commercial pure aluminium has been studied. Annealing was done at different conditions to evaluate the effect of recrystallization temperature and time on the microstructure and texture of the alloy along with a study of subsequent precipitation. Variation of orientation between grains has been studied by the orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). During precipitation, cube component {001}<100> has dropped and rolling texture component has increased comparatively. Recrystallization texture is the combination of cube, rolling and random texture. However, during grain growth strong cube grains have formed. A significant number of dislocations are present during grain growth owing to the pinning effect of Al₃Fe particles.

Annealing behaviour of dilute aluminium alloys following hot deformation

Abstract

The microstructure and texture of three dilute aluminium alloys after hot deformation and annealing was assessed; In particular, the influence of deformation temperature, strain rate, and strain on the annealed texture was examined, as well as the effect of alloy composition. The microstructures of the commercially pure materials studied (Al, Al+1%Mn and Al+1%Mg) varied in the volume fraction of coarse intermetallic particles, the type of dispersoid present, and the level and type of solute in solid solution. Furthermore, the initial stages of recovery and recrystallisation were studied in detail for one of the alloys (commercially pure Al). It was found that the main recrystallisation texture component was the cube and its strength, as well as the recrystallised grain size, depended strongly on the deformation strain. The deformation strain rate and temperature, and the alloy composition also strongly influenced the grain size and cube texture strength. These results are discussed in the context of current theories for cube nucleation within cube bands in the hot deformed microstructure. The present work was carried out as part of a wider research programme, partially supported by the European Union (Brite/Euram funded), to develop micromechanical models to describe the evolution of microstructure and texture during hot deformation and annealing of aluminium alloys.

The nature of the dispersoids in INCONEL alloy M A6000

Analytical transmission electron microscopy has been used to examine the oxide dispersion in the mechanically alloyed, nickel-based, dispersion strengthened superalloy INCONEL alloy MA6000. Four mixed AI-Y oxides were identified in consolidated powder: Y₃Al₅O₁₂, yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG); YAIO₃, yttrium aluminium perovskite (YAP); Y₄Al₂O₉, yttrium aluminium monoclinic (YAM), and a previously unidentified YAlOI₃ polymorph. This new phase, designated yttrium aluminium hexagonal (YAH), has lattice parameters ofa = 2.206 ±0.035 nm andc = 3.219 ± 0.096 nm, a space group of P6₃mc and consists of 18 closepacked oxygen layers with the yttrium and aluminium cations in the resulting interstices. It is proposed that the high local stresses, strains and temperatures which occur during the mechanical alloying process facilitate the formation of the highly complex YAH phase. All four oxide types also contain significant amounts of zirconium (up to 13 cation at%) which randomly substitutes for both the yttrium and aluminium ions. This substitution was sufficient to have caused the removal of 75% of the zirconium from solution in the matrix.     

Mechanism of cube grain nucleation during recrystallization of deformed commercial purity aluminium

Cube texture is a sharp recrystallization texture component infcc metals like aluminium, copper, etc. It is described by an ideal orientation i.e. (100) (100). The subject of cube texture nucleation i.e. cube grain nucleation, from the deformed state of aluminium and copper is of scientific curiosity with concurrent technological implications. There are essentially two models currently in dispute over the mechanism of cube grain nucleation i.e. the differential stored energy model founded on the hypothesis proposed by Ridha and Hutchinson and the micro-growth selection model of Dugganet al. In this paper, calculations are made on the proposal of Ridha and Hutchinson model and the results are obtained in favour of the differential stored energy model. It is also shown that there is no need for the micro-growth model.     

Influence of particles on recrystallisation textures and microstructures of aluminium alloy 3103

Abstract

The evolution of recrystallisation textures in the commercial aluminium alloy 3103 has been investigated by means of a three-dimensional orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis. The global texture measurements were supplemented by local texture measurements by means of the electron backscattering pattern (EBSP) technique in SEM and optical microscopy, inparticular grain size measurements. The evolution of recrystallisation textures was determined by the competition between particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) and nucleation from cube bands. Precipitated particles were found to have a higher retarding effect on the nucleation from deformation zones around particles than on the nucleation from cube bands. The result of this is a strong cube texture and a large grain size in cases of a strong precipitation reaction. This phenomenon has also been discussed theoretically in terms of a semiquantitative model.     

Stored energy in can body aluminium alloy after cold rolling and stress relieving

Abstract

Information on the stored energy after cold deformation and stress relieving would provide a greater understanding of the mechanism that controls the primary recrystallisation in deformed metals. Stored energy as a function of crystal orientation of 88% cold rolled and stress relieved can body aluminium alloy is calculated using the diffraction peaks from X-ray analysis. The obtained stored energy values are presented in the form of a stored energy distribution function on Euler angle space similar to the orientation distribution function. The stored energy along the β fibre that characterises the deformation texture and cube recrystallisation texture components is discussed in detail. A significant reduction of stored energy for the cube texture component after stress relieving is observed.     

Microstructure and texture evolution in continuously cooled AA 3004 hot rolled sheet

Abstract

A quantitative study of variations in microstructure and texture evolution in the through thickness direction of industrially hot rolled AA 3004 aluminium alloy has been carried out. The microstructural features of the specimens were examined with the aid of the electron channelling contrast technique in conjunction with an image analysis system. The number of recrystallised grains and the size distributions of coarse and fine intermetallics were measured to evaluate the variation between surface and centre. Significant differences in the number of recrystallised grains and the average size of coarse intermetallics in the through thickness direction of the hotband were observed. After isothermal annealing of the hotband for various times the fine intermetallic area fraction increased and was higher at the centre than at the surface. Quantitative texture analysis was carried out on the specimens and various texture components estimated to characterise the through thickness texture evolution. The proportion of cube texture component was higher near the surface than at the centre and this difference increased after isothermal annealing. Since negligible change occurred in the cube content of the centre specimen, growth of cube grains was deduced to have taken place primarily near the surface region. These observations illustrate that mechanisms of cube texture formation, heterogeneous nucleation of precipitates causing retarded recrystallisation, and Zener drag are evidently applicable even to complex commercial alloys.

Creating textured substrate tapes of Cu-Fe alloys for second-generation high-temperature superconductors

It is established that Cu-1.6 at % Fe alloy tapes obtained through cold rolling to 98.9% followed by recrystallization annealing possess a sharp cube texture, which opens prospects of using thin tapes of this alloy as substrates for second-generation high-temperature superconductors. The optimum regime of annealing is determined that allows an alloy with sharp biaxial texture containing more than 97% cubic grains to be obtained. The yield stress of a 90-μm-thick Cu-1.6 at % Fe alloy tape upon recrystallization annealing at 800°C for 1 h amounts to 78 MPa, which is about three times higher than the value for a pure copper tape with sharp cube texture.     

Recrystallisation mechanism and annealing texture in aluminium-copper alloys

The correlation between the mechanism of recrystallisation and the annealing texture of aluminium-copper alloys was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and selected area diffraction, and pole figure determination by X-rays. Continuous recrystallisation by sub-grain growth leads to preservation of the rolling texture, while recrystallisation by motion of a high-angle boundary produces a cube texture as in pure aluminium. The conditions under which the different modes of recrystallisation occur and the reasons for the formation of the two types of textures are discussed on the basis of microscopic mechanisms.
