Abstract
This study was undertaken to quantify the correlation between thermomechanical conditions and the resulting microstructure in friction-stir-processed (FSP'ed) aluminum. To this end, the distribution of local temperatures, strains, and strain rates within the processed zone was simulated using finite element modeling (FEM), while the variation in microstructure and crystallographic texture was measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). From the generalization of the simulation and experimental data, it was deduced that the primary factor influencing grain refinement during FSP was the processing temperature, while the imposed strain and strain rate had only a secondary impact. The minor influence of the FSP strain on grain size was attributed to the saturation of grain refinement in the high strain range. Considering the relatively low sensitivity of microstructural changes to the strain rate, it was deduced that material flow during FSP involved no grain-boundary sliding.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
