The maximum elongation 530% of the fine-grained 5083 AI alloy was obtained at 550℃ and 4.17× 10^-4 s^-1. Fracture analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the formation of filament (formed by liquid phase) was greatly affected by the tensile temperature and strain rate. The results also showed that the optimum morphology of formed filament was obtained at 550℃ and a strain rate of 4.17× 10^-4 s^-1. The effect of liquid phase on superplastic deformation of the alloy was further discussed.展开更多
