Abstract

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) metals produced by techniques of severe plastic deformation, such as equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), exhibit extraordinary strength properties. However, in the as-ECAP-processed state, the heavily deformed microstructure of such UFG metals is rather unstable and is prone to undergo grain coarsening (recrystallization) at moderate temperatures. This microstructural instability is enhanced in the presence of modest mechanical stressing as, for example, in cyclic deformation. Thus, all measures to enhance the thermal stability are also considered as beneficial for the improvement of the mechanical stability.

One main objective of the present work is to analyse the thermal and mechanical stability of ECAP-processed metals during specific annealing and cyclic deformation tests. As a by-product, some conclusions relating to the separate effects of dislocation density, grain size (in the UFG regime) and internal stresses on the (micro)yielding behaviour will be drawn. Another goal is to explore the potential of different annealing treatments with respect to the stabilization of the microstructure and the optimization of the mechanical properties of ECAP-processed UFG metals in terms of an optimal combination of strength and ductility. In order to demonstrate the potential and the limitations of this approach, experimental work performed on UFG copper, aluminium and α-brass produced by ECAP will be reported and discussed. The results presented indicate strongly that a heat treatment leading to a bimodal grain size distribution provides the best compromise between strength and ductility.

Keywords: Ultrafine-grained metals; microstructural stability; low-cycle fatigue; recovery/recrystallization; annealing; strength; ductility
