摘要
Superplastic deformation occurs at high temperatures and requires the presence of a very small grain size. Experiments demonstrate that equal-channel angular (ECA) pressing is capable of introducing ultrafine grain sizes in pure Al, Al-Mg and Al-Zr alloys, with grain sizes lying in the sub-micrometer range for the alloys. It is shown by static annealing that these ultrafine grain sizes are not stable in pure Al and the A-Mg alloys at elevated temperatures but in the Al-Zr alloys the grains remain small up to temperatures of approximate to 600 K.
