The flow behavior and the microstructural evolution of aluminum alloy 7055 in two heat treatment conditions (homogenized vs. pre-rolled, solution treated, stretched and naturally aged (T3)) were investigated for a height reduction of 60% with deformation temperatures ranging from 370 °C to 450 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.01 s to 10 s. Flow stress decline ratio maps as a function of deformation temperature and strain rate were produced along with processing maps at a strain of 0.8 to reveal optimum hot-working conditions for deformation at strain rates of 0.01 s to 0.1 s. The results showed that the stress drop ratio during deformation is higher for the homogenized condition than for the pre-rolled, T3 condition. A higher degree of recrystallization after deformation was observed in the pre-rolled, T3 condition due to finer second phase particles, smaller grain size, and more numerous sub-grains. The mechanism for deformation softening is discussed in the context of grain boundary characteristics.
研究了铝合金7055在两种热处理条件下(均匀化处理与预轧制、固溶处理、拉伸和自然时效(T3))的流变行为和微观结构演变,变形程度为60%,变形温度范围为370℃至450℃,应变速率范围为0.01s⁻¹至10s⁻¹。绘制了流动应力下降比图,该图是变形温度和应变速率的函数,并绘制了应变0.8时的加工图,以揭示应变速率为0.01s⁻¹至0.1s⁻¹时变形的最佳热加工条件。结果表明,均匀化处理条件下变形过程中的应力下降比高于预轧制T3条件。由于第二相颗粒更细小、晶粒尺寸更小以及亚晶粒数量更多,在预轧制T3条件下观察到变形后更高程度的再结晶。在晶界特征的背景下讨论了变形软化机制。
