Superplastic behavior of thermomechanically treated P/M 7091 aluminum alloy
- Indian Inst. of Technology, Kanpur (India). Dept. of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
The superplastic behavior of thermomechanically treated P/M 7091 aluminum alloy was assessed in the temperature range of 573 to 773 K. The thermomechanical treatment (TMT) comprised of three steps of solution treatment, overaging, and warm rolling. There are large [eta]-phase (MgZn[sub 2]) precipitate particles of average size of 1.30 [mu]m in the over aged condition. The warm-rolled alloy undergoes continuous recrystallization at the test temperatures of 573 and 623 K, exhibiting a maximum tensile elongation of 450 pct at 573 K and a strain rate of 8 [times] 10[sup [minus]5] s[sup [minus]1]. The precipitate particles play a major role in the process of continuous recrystallization. For a given volume fraction of precipitate particles and constant amount of warm rolling (in the course of TMT), an optimum precipitate particle size is expected to maximize the rate of continuous recrystallization and render the finest recrystallized grain size. The warm-rolled alloy undergoes static recrystallization at temperatures above 673 K. The grain growth accompanying the deformation at these test temperatures limits the tensile ductility to a lower value. Irrespective of the test temperature and strain rate, the specimens undergo extensive cavitation when deformed at elevated temperatures.
