Abstract:The high-temperature superplastic deformation behavior of rolled Mg-8Al-2Sn (AT82) and Mg-8Al-1Sn-1Zn (ATZ811) alloys were investigated in this study. During tensile deformation at 573 K, no obvious grain growth occurred in both alloys, because of the high-volume fraction of second phases located at grain boundaries. Meanwhile, texture weakening was observed, suggesting that grain boundary sliding (GBS) is the dominant superplastic deformation mechanism, which agreed well with the strain rate sensitivity (m) a… Show more

Calcium (Ca), with abundant and cheap reserves, is a potential element to facilitate the further application of Mg-Al-Sn based alloys. Here, effects of Ca content on the microstructure and tensile properties of Mg-2.0Al-0.8Sn (wt.%) alloys were systematically studied. The experimental results illustrated that the strength, ductility and isotropy of the alloys improved simultaneously with the increase of Ca content. The better ductility and isotropy could be contributed to the weakened texture via particle stimulation nucleation mechanism. The higher strength benefited from the combination of finer grains, more precipitates and residual dislocation density. Eventually, the Mg-2.0Al-0.8Sn-0.5Ca (wt.%) alloy showed the best room-temperature balance of strength and ductility with a yield strength of ∼226.0 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength of ∼282.4 MPa and a fracture elongation of ∼20.2%, which has huge potential as an applicable low-cost high-performance magnesium alloy.

“…Superplastic deformation was accompanied by cavitation, which is typical of aluminum-based alloys [18,21,72]. As the grain boundary sliding (GBS) is a dominant superplastic deformation mechanism [71][72][73], the coarse secondary particles on the grain boundaries are expected to act as nucleation sites for strain-induced cavities [72]. In the studied alloy, the cavities formed near the eutectic particles and far from them (Figure 3c), but the volume fraction of the residual cavities reached only 1.2% after deformation to failure.…”
Increasing the strain rate at superplastic forming is a challenging technical and economic task of aluminum forming manufacturing. New aluminum sheets exhibiting high strain rate superplasticity at strain rates above 0.01 s−1 are required. This study describes the microstructure and the superplasticity properties of a new high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-based alloy processed by a simple thermomechanical treatment including hot and cold rolling. The new alloy contains Ni to form Al3Ni coarse particles and minor additions of Zr (0.19 wt.%) and Sc (0.06 wt.%) to form nanoprecipitates of the L12-Al3 (Sc,Zr) phase. The design of chemical and phase compositions of the alloy provides superplasticity with an elongation of 600–800% in a strain rate range of 0.01 to 0.6/s and residual cavitation less than 2%. A mean elongation-to-failure of 400% is observed at an extremely high constant strain rate of 1 s−1. The strain-induced evolution of the grain and dislocation structures as well as the L12 precipitates at superplastic deformation is studied. The dynamic recrystallization at superplastic deformation is confirmed. The superplastic flow behavior of the proposed alloy is modeled via a mathematical Arrhenius-type constitutive model and an artificial neural network model. Both models exhibit good predictability at low and high strain rates of superplastic deformation.
