采用累积叠轧焊(ARB)工艺制备超细晶组织AZ31镁合金薄板。实验结果表明,进行3道次ARB变形后,AZ31板材晶粒显著细化,平均晶粒尺寸约1.3μm,呈等轴状,材料组织均匀,没有发现孪晶。采用EBSD技术观察组织演变和晶粒的取向差。ARB变形过程中的晶粒细化可归因于累积应变诱导的晶粒细化、累积应变强化回复和再结晶以及ARB变形过程中复杂的界面和剪切应变分布。
Accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) was applied to Mg-Al-Zn magnesium alloy sheets to prepare ultrafine-grain microstructure. Significant grain refinement is achieved after three cycles of ARB with average grain size of about 1.3 μm. The microstructure is characterized by nearly uniform ultrafine equiaxed microstructure without twins. The evolution of the misorientation distribution during ARB was measured by EBSD. Grain refinement can be contributed to the grain subdivision induced by severe accumulated strain, the accumulated strain enhanced concurrent dynamic recovery and recrystallization as well as the complicated distribution of interface and shear strain during ARB.
