Abstract
This work aims to study the microstructural development of lead-containing aluminum alloy in the process of intense plastic deformation. The evolution of the AA2030 alloy obtained by the ECAP and long-term natural aging (within 45 months) has been analyzed using electron microscopes. The average grain size of the ECAP treated samples is 420 and 380 nm along the routes Bc and C, respectively. Long-term natural aging contributes to transforming grain boundaries without changing their size. The results have shown that the structure, phase distribution, and stoichiometric composition of the inclusions differ significantly during annealing, equal-channel angular pressing, and long-term natural aging. The strain route affects the dissolution kinetics and evolution of inclusions. A mechanism for refining the grains is proposed that is associated with high dislocation density, dislocation cells, grain and subgrain boundaries, as well as the evolution of inclusions in the ECAP AA2030 alloys.

期刊介绍:
Kovove Materialy - Metallic Materials is dedicated to publishing original theoretical and experimental papers concerned with structural, nanostructured, and functional metallic and selected non-metallic materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that address:
the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their properties, including mechanical, electrical, magnetic and chemical properties;
the relationship between the microstructure of materials and the thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanisms of processes;
the synthesis and processing of materials, with emphasis on microstructural mechanisms and control;
advances in the characterization of the microstructure and properties of materials with experiments and models which help in understanding the properties of materials.
