Technical Basis

This paper describes a new modification of equal-channel angular extrusion for the “pass-by-pass” semi-continuous (sc-ECAE) processing of lightweight alloys. Sc-ECAE leads to a multifold increase in productivity and decrease in costs, providing a technical basis for the commercialization of severe plastic deformation (SPD) on a large scale with massive volume production. The evolution of the structure and properties are analyzed for an aluminum alloy (AA) 5083 and a magnesium alloy AZ31 as model materials representing, respectively, the structural refinement under severe plastic deformation (SPD) via strain-induced formation of new grain boundaries and via dynamic recrystallization. For the first alloy, the microstructure after sc-ECAE is formed via ultrafine sub-grains, which are further transformed into sub-micrometer grains during post-ECAE rolling. The preliminary solution treatment of AA5083 is an important stabilizing factor for the achievement of high mechanical properties. For the second alloy, optimized sc-ECAE results in a remarkable structural refinement, and a good balance of properties is obtained with a low number of passes. However, additional rolling in the latter case leads to a degradation of the structure and properties.

Effective grain refinement through equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for magnesium (Mg) alloys has been demonstrated by many researchers. Although with the capability to achieve superplasticity, the batch mode nature of this method and the required repetitive processing to attain ultrafine grained structure have prohibited it from being widely used in large-scale industrial production. In this study, a well-established metal forming method – the continuous extrusion forming (CONFORM) process – was employed as a severe plastic deformation route to refine the microstructure of Mg alloys. Cast Mg-3%Al-1%Zn (AZ31) rods were used as the feedstock and the cast structure (grain size of ~150 microns) was refined to ~1 micron afteronepass CONFORM extrusion. Uniaxial tensile tests of the as-extruded samples were conducted at a temperature of 473K and an elongation of ~200% was achieved under a strain rate of 1×10-4s-1. The significant grain refinement effect was attributed to the severe shear deformation occurred during the CONFORM process, which is very similar to ECAP but with even higher effective strains. The most important advantage of CONFORM over ECAP is that the former is a continuous route, so it is able to produce long products. It was also shown that CONFORM could be an additional forming method for Mg alloys to conventional rolling, forging and extrusion.

In this study, large-scale molecular dynamic simulations were performed to analyze the dislocation substructure interaction with various types of obstacles present in microalloyed steels during severe plastic deformation. Specifically, fully functional numerical models of the atomic upsetting test were developed, with particular emphasis on the presence of precipitates inside the microstructure grains. The obtained results compared with the microstructural tests, performed using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) techniques, allowed for a more accurate assessment of the microstructure refinement mechanisms by means of the in-situ recrystallization effect in the deformed samples subjected to the multi-axis compression using the MaxStrain system (Dynamic Systems Inc., New York, NY, USA).

Cyclic Extrusion Compression

Severe plastic deformation is an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of metallic alloys through promoting the grain structure. In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation behavior of the material during the cyclic extrusion process using DEFORMTM-3D Ver11.0. The FE-results revealed that SCEC technique was able to impose severe plastic strains with the number of passes. The model was able to predict the damage, punch load, back pressure, and deformation behavior.

This article discusses the application and technology for obtaining nano-structured surfaces. Methods such as compaction of powders (isostatic pressing, Gleiter method), severe plastic deformation (angular torsion, equal-channel angular pressing, pressure treatment of multilayer composites) and surface modification (laser treatment, ion bombardment) are considered.
