| Abstract |
Tensile behavior of mechanically alloyed(MA) Al-5 wt.%Nb alloy extrusion was examined at various temperatures and strain rates. The tensile ductility of MA Al-5wt.%Nb alloy extrusion was greatly reduced with increasing temperature and/or decreasing strain rate. The SEM observations of side and fracture surfaces of tensile fractured specimens demonstrated that the overall void density formed during deformation was considerably reduced, along with the sign of decreased plasticity around the dimples on the fracture surface. To understand the effect of grain size on the deformation behavior of submicron grain sized alloys, Al-5 vol. %Al₃Nb composite extrusions with different grain sizes were fabricated and tensile tested at different temperatures. The present study confirms that the reduction in tensile ductility of submicron grain sized alloys at elevated temperatures are undoubtedly related to the grain size. Fast dynamic recovery rates, due to the lack of dislocation substructures, in submicron grain sized alloys appears to be responsible for the elevated temperature reduction in tensile ductility. |
