Warm Deformation of Alloy Al – 4.7% Mg – 0.32% Mn – 0.21% Sc – 0.09% Zr

Аннотация

The evolution of the structure and mechanical properties of sheets from alloy Al – 4.7% Mg – 0.32% Mn – 0.21% Sc – 0.09% Zr during warm rolling and subsequent annealing is studied. It is shown that extended fibers with a thickness of 50 – 100 nm form inside the deformed grains in the rolling process. Post-rolling annealing of the sheets at 150 and 200°C results in substantial lowering of the elongation after a hold for 3 h; then the ductility recovers after a hold for 5 h. The lowering of the ductility is associated with precipitation of a fine β -phase over grain boundaries during the annealing. The phase grows and its volume fraction decreases when the annealing time is prolonged. The possibility of formation of high-level mechanical properties after warm rolling and subsequent annealing is shown.
