摘要
This paper describes a microstructural and property investigation of an Al-5.31Mg-1.15Li-0.28Zr alloy produced by sprayeasting and downstream processing. Following a dispersoid precipitation treatment of 4 h at 400 degrees C, samples were hot compressed at strain rates of 2, 1, 0.2 and 0.1 x 10(-2) s(-1) at temperatures between 250 and 475 degrees C. Electron backscattered diffraction showed a strong dependence of recrystallised grain size on deformation temperature. At 250 degrees C and faster strain rates at 325 degrees C, a network of fine recrystallised necklace grains formed by progressive lattice rotation. At 325 degrees C at slow strain rates and at 400 degrees C and higher, dynamic recrystallisation occurred by discontinuous nucleation and growth at regions of microscopic strain localisation such as grain boundaries and triple points. The microstructures from small-scale hot compression experiments were compared with larger forgings under similar conditions and microstructural evolution was broadly similar. Mechanical properties of larger-scale forgings exceeded the targets for mechanically alloyed Al-Mg-Li alloy AA5091. (c) 2006 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
