Grain refinement and superplasticity of pipes processed by high-pressure sliding

ABSTRACT

The high-pressure sliding (HPS) process was applied for grain refinement of a pipe form of an Al-3wt%Mg-0.2wt%Sc alloy by developing two types of straining techniques (called in this study anvil sliding and mandrel sliding). To achieve a homogeneous microstructure throughout the cross-section of the pipe, the sample is rotated around the longitudinal axis every after sliding operation by introducing multi-pass technique, named multi-pass HPS (MP-HPS) as developed earlier for rods. The MP-HPS-processed sample shows ultrafine-grained structures with an average grain size of ～260 and ～300?nm after the HPS processing using anvil sliding and mandrel sliding. The samples also exhibit superplasticity with total elongations well more than 400%, respectively. A finite-element method is used to simulate the evolution of strain in the HPS processing and demonstrates that the simulation well represents the experimental results.

Some guidelines for promoting high temperature deformation of metallic alloys

Capacity to reach large deformation at high temperature is an important issue in many forming processes of metallic alloys. It is well known that a low value of the stress exponent (or a concomitant high value of the strain rate sensitivity parameter) is a key point for controlling resistance to necking. A first way for decreasing the stress exponent is to get superplastic properties but it frequently requires dealing with fine microstructures which can be difficult to produce and to preserve. Moreover, in the case of single phase alloys, like aluminum or magnesium alloys, superplastic deformation generally induces damage which can result in premature fracture or damaged components after forming. The aim of this paper is to give some guidelines for promoting high temperature deformation of metallic alloys, with a particular attention given to superplastic forming. The possibility to reduce the temperature of superplastic forming (SPF) for titanium alloys, the capacity to get a better understanding of the specificities of damage process in the case of superplastic deformation and the ability to get large strains to fracture avoiding the production of fine grains before strain are more specifically discussed.     

The study of the technology parameters on the superplasticity of the new Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Ni–Zr base alloy

Al–Zn–Mg–Cu aluminum alloy contain 0.3% Zr and 4% Ni was processed by traditional hot and cold rolling with a total reduction from 0  to  80%. The relationship between superplastic behavior and reduction of cold deformation and casting cooling rate was analyzed. It is shown that the decrease in the reduction of cold rolling do not significantly influence on flow stress and elongation. Decrease in casting cooling rate leads to insignificantly decrease in superplastic indicators. Alloy exhibits advanced superplasticity: the elongation of 400–800% at the strain rates of (5 × 10^–3–1 × 10^–1) s^–1.
