A gradient nano/micro-structured surface layer on copper induced by severe plasticity roller burnishing

剧烈塑性滚柱滚压诱导纯铜表层的梯度纳米/微米结构(英文)

In order to investigate a gradient nano/micro-structured surface layer on pure copper produced by severe plasticity roller burnishing （SPRB） and grain refinement mechanism, the microstructure characteristics and material properties of sample at various depths from the topmost surface were investigated by SEM, TEM, XRD, OM etc. The experimental results show that the gradient nano/micro-structure was introduced into the surface layer of over 100μm in thickness. The remarkable increase in hardness near the topmost surface was mainly attributed to the reduced grain size. The equiaxed nano-sized grains were in random orientation and the most of their boundaries were low-angle grain boundaries （LAGBs）. The coarse grains are refined into the few micro-sized grains by dislocation activities;deformation twinning was found to be the primary form for the formation of submicron grains;the formation of nanostructure was dominated by dislocation activities accompanied with rotation of grains in local region.

为了研究由剧烈塑性滚柱滚压在纯铜表层诱导出的梯度纳米/微米结构特征及其晶粒细化机制,采用SEM、TEM、XRD、OM等方法观察样品距表面不同深度的组织特点和材料特性。结果表明,滚压所引入的纳米/微米结构层厚度超过100μm。近表层的硬度有显著的提高,这归因于晶粒尺寸的减小,所生成的等轴纳米晶为随机晶粒取向且绝大多数晶界为小角度晶界。粗晶通过位错运动细化至几微米;变形孪生是形成亚微米晶的主要机理;纳米结构的形成由位错运动主导并伴随局部区域的晶粒旋转。
