Book Description
An aluminum copper lithium zirconium alloy, recently registered as 2090, with 7 percent lower density and 10 percent higher elastic modulus, has been introduced as a replacement for the 7075-T6 alloy. The purpose of this research is to investigate the applicability of thermomechanical processing methods developed at NPS for materials including Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Li alloys, to the 2090 alloy. The material is hot worked, cold worked, aged and warm rolled to a total true strain of about 2.4. Tensile tests were conducted at different temperatures and strain rates allowing a determination of the effect of the processing on microstructural evolution and the superplastic behavior of this material.

Book Description
The applicability of a thermomechanical process, involving warm rolling to facilitate continuous recrystallization (CRX), to aluminum alloy 2090 was considered. The thermomechanical process has been shown to result in 2-5mm grains and superplasticity at 300C in Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Li alloys. In this study, the warm rolling temperature and the reheating time between consecutive rolling passes were varied. Superplastic ductility of 320 percent was obtained during tension testing at 350C. Microstructural analysis of the structures produced during warm rolling indicates inadequate interaction between precipitating phases and dislocation structures. Thus, improved warm-temperature superplastic ductility may be obtained by initial precipitation treatments followed by warm rolling. Keywords: Aluminum-Copper Lithium alloys 2090; Thermomechanically processing; Superplasticity. (jes).

Book Description
The effect of processing variables on the microstructural development and superplasticity of aluminum alloy 2090, a high strength Aluminum-Copper-Lithium-Zirconium alloy of reduced density in comparison to other A1-based materials, was investigated. Following previous research, warm rolling was conducted to strains, up to 3.36 and it was found that increasing the strain to values greater than 2.6 offered no improvement in subsequent superplastic response. Increased rolling speeds likewise did not enhance ductibility above a maximum value of approximately 240 percent. Microstructural examination revealed a refined, homogeneous microstructure consisting of T2 particles distributed in an alloy matrix. These particles reside a triple junctions in a recovered microstructure. Theses. (AW).

Analysis of Grain Refinement and Superplasticity in Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys

Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Previous research had demonstrated superplastic behavior in aluminum-magnesium alloys of high magnesium content to result from deformation processing to an initially non recrystallized condition. Analysis here of those data has demonstrated that such a result may be understood in terms of constitutive equations developed for fine-grained materials and that the constitutive equations are applicable to materials achieving grain boundary misorientations in the range of only 2 to 7 by a process of continuous recrystallization. The constitutive equations provide a basis for analysis of anomalous temperature dependence of the strength and of the activation energy for plastic deformation seen as well in this work. A study of the separate effects of processing variables has lead to a model for continuous recrystallization during deformation processing. This model considers recovery of dislocations to sub-boundaries to be the critical step in this process. Application of this model to development of advanced aluminum alloys for air frame structural applications will result in increased weight savings by such processing methods. Theses Keywords: Superplasticity; Aluminum magnesium alloys; Thermomechanical processing; Microstructural evolution; Continuous recrystallization; Microstructural instability; Grain growth.

Processing of 2090 Aluminum Alloy for Superplasticity
Author: Gary E. Groh
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Existing superplastic forming techniques for A1 alloys rely on deformation at temperatures of 500 C to achieve the desired ductilities. The A1 alloy 2090 (A1-Li-Cu-Zr) has been successfully fabricated by such techniques, but at temperatures where cavitation during formation may significantly reduce the mechanical properties of the final product. It has been previously shown that cavitation can be effectively suppressed by forming at lower temperatures. The purpose of this research is to investigate the applicability of thermomechanical processing methods (developed at NPS for A1-Mg-X alloys) to produce a refined microstructure capable of supporting superplasticity at lower temperatures in A1 2090. Aluminum alloys, Copper, Lithium, Thermomechanically processing, Superplasticity, Theses. (mjm).
