Aluminum alloys are highly versatile materials and their behavior can be improved by severe plastic deformation.

The objective was to determine a heat treatment to promote a new crystallographic texture of AA5083 under a severe plastic deformation process. The determination of this thermal ratio, as well as the crystallographic characterization of the material, were studied through XRD, thermo-diffraction, Rietveld analysis, and pole figures (PF). The results showed that using a partial recrystallization heat treatment combined with the RCS process favors obtaining a characteristic recrystallization and deformation texture (cube and brass component). Furthermore, the evolution of diffraction peaks intensities at different temperatures confirm that recrystallization takes place during the process. Finally, the phases present in the A5083 alloy were determined by XRD.","PeriodicalId":242571,"journal":{"name":"Superplasticity in Advanced Materials","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134331506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A hot-rolled sheet of the steel with Ms of 418.5°C was austenized and then quenched in a salt bath kept at 450°C. Two specimens of the sheet were warm-rolled by 40 and 60% and then isothermally held at 350℃ for 1ks. For comparison, a specimen was directly isothermally heat-treated at 350°C for 1ks. The three specimens were subjected to microstructural characterizations and tensile tests at temperatures ranging from 25 to 300°C. It was confirmed that the warm rolling increases the ductility/strength balance. The X-ray diffraction showed that the warm rolling causes an increase in volume fraction of the retained austenite, while its stability against the tensile deformation was somewhat complicated. The effect of the temperature and rolling reduction on the uniform elongation, which is the parameter mostly affected by TRIP, was successfully understood in terms of the volume fraction and the stability of the retained austenite.","PeriodicalId":242571,"journal":{"name":"Superplasticity in Advanced Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126559194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technological process of manufacturing cold-rolled strip with a thickness of 0.5-1.5 mm from high-strength steel grades on cold rolling mills can consist of 2 or even 3 operating cycles \"cold rolling - intermediate annealing\". This is due to a significant hardening of such steels during cold rolling and, as a result, limitations on the maximum allowable rolling forces. Each additional operating cycle \"cold rolling - intermediate annealing\" significantly increases production costs and reduces the productivity of the technological process. One of the promising ways to reduce the rolling force is the asymmetric rolling. Rolling at different circumferential speeds of work rolls driven by two independent motors is the most suitable way to implement asymmetric rolling technology in industry. The paper presents data on the operation of the main electric drives of a five-stand industrial mill during symmetric and asymmetric cold rolling. Speed ratio of the work rolls was varied in the range from 1.0 to 1.5. Electrical and power parameters were calculated, measured and compared. Based on numerical simulation, laboratory and industry experiments it was shown that the asymmetric cold rolling makes it possible to reduce the rolling forces, increase the thickness reduction per pass and, as a result, obtain a thinner strip without the use of intermediate annealing.","PeriodicalId":242571,"journal":{"name":"Superplasticity in Advanced Materials","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114877105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grain boundary sliding plays a key role on the high temperature deformation of fine grained materials. This mechanism is related to a high strain rate sensitivity of approximately 0.5 and usually gives rise to high superplastic elongations. The rate controlling equation for the mechanism of grain boundary sliding has shown good agreement with experimental data for multiple materials, with different grain sizes and tested at different strain rates. However, the predictive ability of the rate controlling equation seems to deteriorate at low temperatures. Although there are experimental evidences of high strain-rate sensitivities in ultrafine grained materials tested at low temperatures, this parameter does not reach values near 0.5 and also there seems to be disagreement in stress level in many conditions. The present overview evaluates the occurrence of grain boundary sliding in ultrafine grained materials at low temperatures considering an adapted rate controlling equation which display good agreement with experimental data. A gradual transition from grain refinement softening at high temperature to grain refinement hardening at low temperatures and a gradual increase in strain rate sensitivity with increasing temperature are observed.","PeriodicalId":242571,"journal":{"name":"Superplasticity in Advanced Materials","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124508641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dynamic recrystallization of high-speed steel (HSS) M2 occurs through a discontinuous mechanism, involving nucleation and growth of strain-free grains. The initiation and completion of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (dDRX) must be carried out in a single rolling pass. The time for 99% dDRX depends on the critical strain, strain rate and equivalent strain, that generated in the workpiece material in a single rolling pass. The level of equivalent strain plays a key role in terms of the possibility to complete dDRX. High equivalent strain in conventional hot rolling for a single pass is limited by too high rolling forces. High equivalent strain at low rolling forces can be achieved by asymmetric hot rolling. Asymmetric rolling is a process based on purposefully created differences in the circumferential speeds of the work rolls. For such a process, a degree of asymmetry is defined by a speed ratio of the work rolls. The speed ratio is one of the most important parameters of the process, affecting the level of equivalent strain and the rolling force. In this work the single-pass asymmetric hot rolling process of HSS M2 at different temperatures in the range 850-1150 °C was simulated by FEM and JMAK model. The effects of speed ratio and thickness reduction on equivalent strain and rolling force were investigated. The effects of equivalent strain, strain rate and temperature on the recrystallized volume fraction and the average size of a dynamically recrystallized grains of HSS M2 are presented.
