A polycrystalline Mg-3Al-1Zn was subjected to high plastic strains by applying accumulative back extrusion (ABE) process. Electron back scatter diffraction analyses were used to explore the grain refinement mechanisms. A novel grain refinement trend was found at large strains, where new recrystallized grains were repetitively refined through dynamic recrystallization. The grain size was diminishing continuously up to the fourth ABE pass, after which no further grain refinement was noticed upon successive passes. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Constitutive Modeling of Hot Deformation of Carbon Steels in The Intercritical Zone

Juan Cancio Jimenez-Lugos, Jose Maria Cabrera-Marrero, Jose Federico Chavez-Alcala, Jose Manuel Hallen-Lopez, Josue Lopez-Rodriguez

Summary: A constitutive modeling for the hot deformation behavior in the dual phase ferritic-austenitic intercritical zone of Fe-C-Mn-Si alloys is extended using the mixing law. The developed model is validated through comparisons with experimental results and microstructural analysis, and a general constitutive equation is proposed for hot deformation of steels in the intercritical zone.

Anisotropy in dynamic recrystallization behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy

S. M. Fatemi, S. Kheyrabadi, H. Paul

Summary: The deformation behavior and microstructural evolutions of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy with and without pre-existing extension twins were studied. The initial texture was found to not only influence the evolution of flow stress, but also change the size and fraction of recrystallized grains. Pre-existing twins were found to reduce the anisotropy of the material.

Flow softening, twinning and dynamic evolution of second phase particles in a rolled Mg-Y-Nd-Zr alloy under shear deformation mode

S. M. Fatemi, Y. Moradipour, R. Chulist, H. Paul

Summary: Shear punch deformation was used to investigate the shear deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of a Mg-Y-Nd-Zr alloy at various temperatures. It was found that metastable phases may precipitate dynamically during deformation, and flow softening behavior was observed at different temperatures. The deformation mode promoted extension twinning, and twinning was observed even at high temperatures. Dynamic recrystallization occurred at 450 and 500 degrees C, with progressive lattice rotation as the mechanism. Shear flow stress was successfully modeled using constitutive equations. The rate-controlling mechanisms were determined to be dislocation glide controlled by rare earth diffusion at 25-400 degrees C and grain boundary sliding controlled by lattice diffusion at 450-500 degrees C.

N. Mollaei, S. M. Fatemi, M. R. Aboutalebi, S. H. Razavi, W. Bednarczyk

Summary: In this study, the deformation behavior of a Zn alloy containing 0.2 wt. % magnesium was studied using compression tests at a wide temperature range and different strain rates. The results showed that dynamic recrystallization occurred at all deformation conditions, with continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) being operative through a progressive lattice rotation mechanism. The new grains formed not only around the c-axis, but also around the prismatic and pyramidal poles.

Plastic Behavior and Microstructure Heterogeneity of an AA6063-T6 Aluminum Alloy Processed by Symmetric and Asymmetric Rolling

Jairo Alberto Munoz, Tarek Khelfa, Gonzalo Ariel Duarte, Martina Avalos, Raul Bolmaro, Jose Maria Cabrera

Summary: Rolling is a widely used industrial process to produce various geometries in manufacturing. However, it can lead to anisotropy in the products. This study compares the effects of symmetrical and asymmetrical rolling on an aluminum alloy sheet. The results show that the asymmetrical process produces larger texture gradients and more intense shear texture components, but exhibits lower plastic anisotropy compared to the symmetrical process.

Microstructural Heterogeneity and Mechanical Properties of a Welded Joint of an Austenitic Stainless Steel

Jairo Alberto Munoz, Egor Dolgach, Vanina Tartalini, Pablo Risso, Martina Avalos, Raul Bolmaro, Jose Maria Cabrera

Summary: This research investigates the microstructural and mechanical changes in the welded seam of an austenitic stainless steel tube. The fusion zone experiences the greatest decrease in hardness, followed by the heat-affected zone and the base material. The welding process results in a dendritic structure in the fusion zone and varying austenitic grain sizes from the heat-affected zone to the base material. The mechanical behavior of the seam is influenced by the size of austenite grains, with the larger grains in the fusion zone leading to lower strength and ductility.

Microstructure, texture, and instability during superplastic deformation of ECAP-treated AZ31 Mg alloy

S. M. Fatemi, H. Paul, A. Hemmati-Hosuri

Summary: An ultrafine-grained AZ31 Mg alloy processed through multipass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) achieved mean grain sizes of 5 and 0.9 μm after two and four passes, respectively. Tensile testing at high temperatures revealed that the four-pass-processed alloy exhibited a superplastic elongation of 410% at 250 degrees C. The deformation behavior was studied using the Haehner criterion, showing that grain boundary sliding was the rate-controlling mechanism with a strain rate sensitivity of 0.38. The contribution of slip system to superplasticity was discussed using Schmid factors, which showed that slip activity prevalence at high strains induced texture-strengthening effect and low-angle grain boundary formation.

Summary: The development of microstructure and texture of TWIP steel sheet during ECAP at different temperatures were studied, and the effect of temperature during the severe plastic deformation process was compared. The results showed that the volume fraction of twins, dislocation density, and yield strength increased while ductility decreased after ECAP. The best balance between high strength and good ductility was achieved after four passes at 250 degrees C and 350 degrees C.

Hiba Azzeddine, Salaheddine Sadi, Abdelkader Hanna, Thierry Baudin, Francois Brisset, Jose Maria Cabrera

Summary: In this study, the grain growth activation energy of Mg-0.3Ce alloy after ECAP processing was evaluated. The results revealed a strong dependence of grain growth activation energy on the deformation processing. The sample ECAP-processed at 350°C exhibited two different values of grain growth activation energy, attributed to the deformation microstructure and dynamic grain growth during ECAP processing at 350°C.
