Abstract:

The influence of High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) on texture and superplasticity in an Al- 7075 was studied using X-ray diffraction and tensile testing. The alloy was processed by HPT at room temperature under a pressure of 6.0 GPA up to a maximum of 20 turns. The pole figures were measured at mid-radius of the disks after 1, 5, 10 and 20 turns. The results show the presence of a typical torsion texture during HPT, in particular, the C{001}<110> component was found to develop preferentially. With increasing deformation, the A {111}<110> and the C components are reinforced after 5 turns and the texture tends to be random with the presence of a fibre texture near the center. Moreover, the fraction of C components tends to gradually decrease and a fairly isotropic microtexture is apparent after 20 turns. Tensile testing showed the development of excellent superplastic properties in this alloy with elongations up to ~700% when testing at a temperature of 623 K.
