Validation and analysis of a model for grain refinement by cold severe plastic deformation

Validation and analysis of a model for grain refinement by cold severe plastic deformation
Validation and analysis of a model for grain refinement by cold severe plastic deformation
We present a model to predict grain refinement and strength/hardness of Al alloys after very high levels of cold deformation through techniques including cold rolling, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), accumulative rolling bonding (ARB) and embossing. At the beginning of deformation, the generated dislocations are stored in grains and contribute to overall strength. With increase in strain, excess dislocations form and/or move to new cell walls/grain boundaries and grains are refined. The model is tested against data on a range of SPD processed Al based alloys. It is shown that grain size and strength/hardness are correctly predicted to a good accuracy. It is also shown that general trends in strengthening in all fcc pure metals are consistent with the model.

Abstract

We present a model to predict grain refinement and strength/hardness of Al alloys after very high levels of cold deformation through techniques including cold rolling, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), accumulative rolling bonding (ARB) and embossing. At the beginning of deformation, the generated dislocations are stored in grains and contribute to overall strength. With increase in strain, excess dislocations form and/or move to new cell walls/grain boundaries and grains are refined. The model is tested against data on a range of SPD processed Al based alloys. It is shown that grain size and strength/hardness are correctly predicted to a good accuracy. It is also shown that general trends in strengthening in all fcc pure metals are consistent with the model.
