Effect of Heat Treatment on the Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect of Al-2.5%Mg Alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental study is presented on the effect of microstructural change on the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect behaviour of Al-2.5%Mg alloy. Tensile tests are performed on the as received and heat treated (at 400 oC for 16 hours) samples for a wide range of strain rates. The serrations observed in the stress-time curve are investigated from statistical analysis point of view. Microstructures of the samples are characterized by optical metallography and X-ray diffraction. It is found that the excess vacancy generated due to heat treatment leads to decrease in the strain rate sensitivity and the increase in the number of stress drop occurrences per unit time during the PLC effect. The microstructural parameters like domain size, dislocation density have no appreciable effect on the PLC effect as far as the statistical behavior of the serrations is considered. Keywords—Dynamic strain ageing, Heat treatment, Portevin-Le Chatelier effect

Low temperature deformation behavior of an electromagnetically bulged 5052 aluminum alloy
The fundamental understanding of the deformation behavior of electromagnetically formed metallic components under extreme conditions is important. Here, the effect of low temperature on the deformation behavior of an electromagnetically-bulged 5052 aluminum alloy was investigated through uniaxial tension. We found that the Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect, designated by the serrated characteristic ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Artificial Aging Treatment and Lubrication Modes on the Cutting Force and the Chip Surface Morphology when Drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) Cast Alloys
This article reports the effects of various artificial aging methods and lubrication modes (dry, mist, wet) on the recorded cutting forces and chip morphology in drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) cast alloys. In the course of this work, the work part sampled were as-received alloy (T0), solution heat-treated alloy (SHT) and then aged alloys at 155°C, 180°C, and 220°C (T4, T6, T61, T7), respectively. The...
متن کاملPortevin-Le chatelier effect
Aluminum subjected to smooth mechanical loading does not often deform in a correspondingly smooth manner. Typically it deforms inhomogeneously through the propagation of deformation fronts that slowly traverse the sample. These are called Portevin-Le Chatelier fronts; what determines their velocity has been somewhat mysterious. We present a phenomenological theory for deformation fronts that ce...
متن کاملTime-resolved strain mapping measurements of individual Portevin–Le Chatelier deformation bands
A technique based on high-speed digital photography and image correlation for direct whole-field strain mapping of Portevin–Le Chatelier deformation bands is described. Results for a type B band show that the deformation band was formed within a few milliseconds and remained stationary as no motion of the band was detected. 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.
