Abstract
Aluminium alloy is one of the earliest and most widely used superplastic materials. The objective of this work is to review the scientific advances in superplastic Al alloys. Particularly, the emphasis is placed on the microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms of Al alloys during superplastic deformation. The evolution of grain structure, texture, secondary phase, and cavities during superplastic flow in typical superplastic Al alloys is discussed in detail. The quantitative evaluation of different deformation mechanisms based on the focus ion beam (FIB)-assisted surface study provides new insights into the superplasticity of Al alloys. The main features, such as grain boundary sliding, intragranular dislocation slip, and diffusion creep can be observed intuitively and analyzed quantitatively. This study provides some reference for the research of superplastic deformation mechanism and the development of superplastic Al alloys.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
