A comparison of repetitive corrugation and straightening and high-pressure torsion using an Al-Mg-Sc alloy
A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the influence of two different severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes: repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) and high-pressure torsion (HPT). Samples of an Al-3Mg-0.25Sc alloy with an initial grain size of ?150 ?m were processed by RCS through 8 passes at room temperature either without any rotation during processing or with a rotation of 90° around the longitudinal axis between each pass. Thin discs of the alloy were also processed for up to 5 turns by HPT at room temperature. The results show that both procedures introduce significant grain refinement with average grain sizes of ?0.6–0.7 ?m after RCS and ?95 nm after HPT. Measurements of the Vickers microhardness gave values of ?128 after RCS and ?156 after HPT. The results demonstrate that processing by HPT is the optimum processing technique in achieving both high strength and microstructural homogeneity.

Abstract

A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the influence of two different severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes: repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) and high-pressure torsion (HPT). Samples of an Al-3Mg-0.25Sc alloy with an initial grain size of ?150 ?m were processed by RCS through 8 passes at room temperature either without any rotation during processing or with a rotation of 90° around the longitudinal axis between each pass. Thin discs of the alloy were also processed for up to 5 turns by HPT at room temperature. The results show that both procedures introduce significant grain refinement with average grain sizes of ?0.6–0.7 ?m after RCS and ?95 nm after HPT. Measurements of the Vickers microhardness gave values of ?128 after RCS and ?156 after HPT. The results demonstrate that processing by HPT is the optimum processing technique in achieving both high strength and microstructural homogeneity.
