为了获得更高性能的铝基复合材料(AMCs),采用室温异步轧制(AR,298 K)和深冷异步轧制(ACR,77 K)制备高熵合金颗粒增强铝基复合材料带材。通过拉伸实验、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对铝基复合材料的力学性能和微观结构进行分析。结果表明,深冷异步轧制比室温异步轧制更能提高复合材料的力学性能。深冷异步轧制含3%(质量分数)高熵合金颗粒的铝基复合材料的抗拉强度达到253 MPa,比室温异步轧制复合材料提高13.5%。与室温异步轧制相比,深冷异步轧制的复合材料具有更少的微孔洞、更细小的晶粒尺寸和更高的位错密度。深冷异步轧制复合材料微缺陷的减少是因为铝基高熵合金颗粒复合材料在深冷环境中具有合适的体积收缩效应。

Achieving High Strength and Tensile Ductility in Pure Nickel by Cryorolling with Subsequent Low-Temperature Short-Time Annealing

Ultra fine-grained pure metals and their alloys have high strength and low ductility.In this study,cryorolling under different strains followed by low-temperature short-time annealing was used to fabricate pure nickel sheets combining high strength with good ductility.The results show that,for different cryorolling strains,the uniform elongation was greatly increased without sacrificing the strength after annealing.A yield strength of 607 MPa and a uniform elongation of 11.7%were obtained after annealing at a small cryorolling strain(ε=0.22),while annealing at a large cryorolling strain(ε=1.6)resulted in a yield strength of 990 MPa and a uniform elongation of 6.4%.X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD)were used to characterize the microstructure of the specimens and showed that the high strength could be attributed to strain hardening during cryorolling,with an additional contribution from grain refinement and the formation of dislocation walls.The high ductility could be attributed to annealing twins and micro-shear bands during stretching,which improved the strain hardening capacity.The results show that the synergistic effect of strength and ductility can be regulated through low-temperature short-time annealing with different cryorolling strains,which provides a new reference for the design of future thermo-mechanical processes.

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Al−3.6Cu−1Li alloy via cryorolling and aging

An Al−3.6Cu−1Li alloy was subjected to room temperature rolling and cryorolling to investigate their effects on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.The microstructure and aging characteristics of the room temperature-rolled and the cryorolled alloys with 70%and 90%of thickness reductions were studied by microstructure analysis and mechanical tests.The samples subjected to cryorolling with 90%of thickness reduction have high strength and good toughness.This is mainly due to the inhibition of dynamic recovery and the accumulation of high-density dislocations in cryorolled samples.In addition,the artificial aging reveals that the temperature at which peak hardness is attained is inversely proportional to the deformation amount and directly proportional to the rolling temperature.Moreover,bright field images of cryorolled samples after aging indicate the existence of T1(Al2CuLi)precipitates.This suggests that the high stored strain energy enhances the aging kinetics of the alloy,which further promotes the nucleation of T1 phases.

Fabrication of ultrafine-grained AA1060 sheets via accumulative roll bonding with subsequent cryorolling

Ultrafine-grained(UFG)AA1060 sheets were fabricated via five-cycle accumulative roll bonding(ARB)and subsequent three-pass cold rolling(298 K),or cryorolling(83 K and 173 K).Microstructures of the aluminum samples were examined via transmission electron microscopy,and their mechanical properties were measured via tensile and microhardness testing.Results indicate that ultrafine grains in ARB-processed sheets were further refined by subsequent rolling,and the grain size became finer with reducing rolling temperature.The mean grain size of 666 nm in the sheets subjected to ARB was refined to 346 or 266 nm,respectively,via subsequent cold rolling or cryorolling(83 K).Subsequent cryorolling resulted in ultrafine-grained sheets of higher strength and ductility than those of the sheets subjected to cold rolling.

Preparation of high-mechanical-property medium-entropy CrCoNi alloy by asymmetric cryorolling

In order to obtain good strength−plasticity synergy for a medium entropy alloy(MEA)CrCoNi,cold rolling,asymmetric rolling,cryorolling and asymmetric-cryorolling with subsequent annealing at different temperatures were conducted.The results showed that the asymmetric-cryorolled alloy achieved a high strength of over 1.6 GPa.After annealing at 1073 K,it retained a high strength of~1 GPa while the elongation reached nearly 60%.After annealing,the heterogeneous characteristics were formed in asymmetric-cryorolled samples,which were found to be more distinct than those of the samples subjected to asymmetric rolling.This resulted in the generation of high strength and ductility.

Mechanism of cryorolling and aging treatment for enhancing corrosion properties of 2195 Al−Li alloy

The impact of cryorolling(CR)and room temperature rolling(RTR)followed by artificial aging on the corrosion characteristics of 2195 Al−Li alloy(AA2195)was studied.Transmission electron microscope,scanning electron microscope,optical microscope,intergranular corrosion experiment,and electrochemical experiment were used.Throughout different stages of aging treatment,the corrosion behavior of both CR and RTR samples exhibited a sequential progression of pitting corrosion,followed by intergranular corrosion,and then pitting corrosion again.The corrosion rates of both samples initially showed an increase,followed by a gradual stabilization over time.The size and density of T1 phase significantly influenced the corrosion performance of the alloy.During the peak aging and over-aging stages,the CR sample exhibited superior corrosion resistance to the RTR sample,attributed to its finer T1 phase.

Fabrication and Characterization of High-Bonding-Strength Al/Ti/Al-Laminated Composites via Cryorolling

Sandwich-like Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites have many advantages such as low density and high specific strength with value in mechanical manufacturing and aerospace engineering. Here, Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites were fabricated by hot roll bonding and subsequent processes: cryorolling(-190 ℃ and-100 ℃), cold rolling(25 ℃), and hot rolling(300 ℃). Their bonding strength and mechanical properties were then studied by an Autograph AGS-X universal electronic testing machine. The results show that cryorolling can improve the interface bonding strength and tensile strength of Al/Ti/Allaminated composites. For the Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites subjected to cryorolling at-100 ℃, they have the highest strength near 260 MPa—this is 48 MPa and 41 MPa higher than the laminated composites subjected to cold and hot rolling, respectively. These results also show the strongest peeling strength. Finally, the mechanisms of the enhancement of bonding strength and mechanical properties of Al/Ti/Al-laminated composites subjected to cryorolling were mainly discussed.

Low-temperature superplasticity of cryorolled Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheets

To investigate the superplastic deformation behavior of cryorolled Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy,tensile tests were carried out at760℃and 830℃with different strain rate.The evolution of grain and micro structure has been studied using transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction.When the tensile temperature was 760℃(<0.5T_(m),T_(m)is absolute melting point of alloy.)and the strain rate was 5×10^(-4)s^(-1),the fracture elongation of the sample reached 385%,showing good low-temperature superplasticity.Compared with the tensile temperature of 760℃,the fracture elongation of the s ample at 830℃was lower due to grain coarsening and oxidation.The strain rate sensitivity value m of all samples was larger than0.3,which confirmed that the cryorolled Ti-6A1-4V titanium alloy with a non-equiaxed grains structure can achieve high superplasticity at a temperature lower than 0.5T_(m),and indicated that the main deformation mechanisms in the tensile test at760-830℃were grain rotation and grain boundary sliding.After the tensile test,the average grain size of all samples was less than 5μm,in which significant dynamic recrystallization and recovery occurred.

Enhanced Mechanical Properties of AA5083 Matrix Composite via Introducing Al_(0.5)CoCrFeNi Particles and Cryorolling

High-entropy alloy particles(HEAPs)can markedly enhance the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites(MMCs).In this study,AA5083/Al_(0.5) CoCrFeNi HEAPs MMCs with diff erent HEAPs contents(0,1,and 3 wt%)were prepared via a stir-casting,and then these MMCs sheets were hot rolled(573 K)and cryorolled(77 K),respectively.The mechanical properties of the MMCs sheets were measured by tensile testing and microhardness test.Additionally,their microstructures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.Results revealed that the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of the as-cast AA5083/Al_(0.5) CoC rF eN i HEAPs MMCs were improved from 203 to 257 MPa by adding 3 wt%HEAPs.And the mechanical properties of the MMCs sheets were improved after cryorolling.After cryorolling with 50%rolling reduction ratio,the MMCs with 1 wt%HEAPs had an UTS of 382 MPa,which was 1.9 times that of the MMCs before rolling.Finally,the strengthening mechanisms of HEAPs and cryorolling on the AA5083/HEAPs MMCs were discussed.

Suppressing Al2O3 nanoparticle coarsening and Cu nanograin growth of milled nanostructured Cu-5vol.%Al2O3 composite powder particles by doping with Ti

Both the coarsening of Al2O3 nanoparticles and the growth of Cu nanograins of mechanically milled nanostructured Cu-5 vol.%Al2O3 composites with, and without, trace amounts of Ti during annealing at973 K for 1 h were investigated. It was found that doping with a small amount of Ti（e.g. 0.2 wt%） in a nanostructured Cu-5 vol.%Al2O3 composite effectively suppressed the coarsening of Al2O3 nanoparticles during exposure at this temperature. Further, the Ti addition also prevented the concomitant abnormal growth of the copper grains normally caused by the coarsening of the Al2O3 nanoparticles. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis of the Al2O3 nanoparticles in the annealed Cu-5 vol.%Al2 O3-0.2 wt%Ti sample suggested that the Ti atoms either diffused into the Al2O3 nanoparticles or segregated to the Cu/Al2O3 interfaces to form Ti-doped Al2O3 nanoparticles, which was more stable than Ti-free Al2O3 nanoparticles during annealing at high homologous temperatures.
