Deformation Processes

Severe plastic deformation processes have a great deal of importance because of the improvement in mechanical properties of the processed parts as a consequence of the grain size reduction in the material due to the accumulation of deformation. One of the main severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes is called the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). Although a large amount of studies, which deal with experimental analysis of processed parts exist, few studies dealing with the force required to perform the process have been developed. In this study, an analytical modeling of the force required to perform the ECAE process has been developed using the upper bound method (UBM). The analytical equations developed take into account the material strain hardening and the ECAE dies with circular cross-section. Moreover, the experimental tests have been performed and the extrusion force has been measured. The UBM and experimental results have been compared showing a great deal of agreement.

DRECE - Dual Rolls Equal Channel Extrusion" (dual rolls pressure combined with equal channel extrusion) method is used for production of metallic materials with very fine grain size (hereinafter referred to as UFG structure - Ultrafine Grain Size). During the actual forming process the principle of severe plastic deformation is used. The device is composed of the following main parts: “Nord” type gearbox, electric motor with frequency speed converter, multi-plate clutch, feed roller and pressure rollers with regulation of thrust, and of the forming tool itself – made of Dievar steel type. Metallic strip with dimensions 58×2×1000 mm (width x thickness x length) is inserted into the device. During the forming process the main cylinder in synergy with the pressure roller extrude the material through the forming tool without any change of cross section of the strip. In this way a significant refinement of grain is achieved by severe plastic deformation. This method is used for various types of metallic materials, non-ferrous metals and their alloys. Forming process is based on extrusion technology with zero reduction of thickness of the sheet metal with the ultimate aim - achieving a high degree of deformation in the formed material. The DRECE device is also being verified from the viewpoint of achievement of a UFG structure in a blank of circular cross-section (wire) with diameter of ø 8 mm × 1000 mm (length).

Over recent years, some severe plastic deformation processes have been developed with the aim of obtaining a material with sub-micrometric or even nanometric grain size, such as: ECAE (Equal channel angular extrusion) and HPT (High pressure torsion) among many others. The main aim of this present study is to analyse the upsetting of the 5083 Al-Mg-Mn alloy, which had been previously deformed by ECAE. Different processing temperatures will be used and the final properties of the resulting material will be determined.

Bound Analysis

Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) or pressing is a process used to introduce severe plastic deformations to processed materials with the aim of improving their mechanical properties by reducing the grain size. At present, there are no analytical studies that have considered strain hardening materials in order to determine the required force to carry out the process. All the existing papers have only considered nonstrain hardening materials. Furthermore, all those studies have been done by considering plane strain conditions. In this work, an upper bound analysis of the required force for performing the ECAE process is made by considering a full three-dimensional geometry with a rectangular cross section. From this analysis, the influence of the geometric and the material parameters is studied by considering both friction and strain hardening materials. By using the upper bound method, an analytical formulation was obtained and the influence of all the parameters was determined. With this work, it is possible to have a wider knowledge of the influence of the main affecting parameters in the ECAE process and to optimize them.

We investigated the effectiveness of severe plastic deformation by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) for consolidation of metal powders into metal matrix composites. Equal volumes of copper (Cu) and tantalum (Ta) powders were consolidated at ambient temperature via different ECAE routes. Composites processed by ECAE routes 4E and 4Bc were also processed at 300 °C. The resulting materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and compression testing. Processing by route 4Bc at 300 °C resulted in the highest compressive strength, lowest anisotropy, and least strain rate sensitivity. We conclude that the superior properties achieved by this route arise from mechanical bonding due to interlocking Cu and Ta phases as well as enhanced metallurgical bonds from contact of pristine metal surfaces when the material is sheared along orthogonal planes.

The texture of Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy processed by two different methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, and analyzed in terms of the orientation distribution function (ODF). It was found that severe plastic deformation by both Equal Channel Angular extrusion (ECAE) and Hydrostatic Extrusion (HE) resulted in an ultrafine grained structure in an Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy. The microstructure, grain shape and size, of materials produced by SPD strongly depend on the technological parameters and methods applied. The texture of the investigated alloy differed because of the different modes of deformation. In the initial state the alloy exhibited a very strong texture consisting of {111} fibre component. A similar fibrous texture characteristic was also found after HE whereas after the ECAE the initial texture was completely changed.
