Specific Features of The Structure Formation of Aluminum Alloys During Rapid Crystallization-Deformation

Abstract The results of studies of the structure and properties of semi-finished products from aluminum and its alloys, obtained with the use of cast-free rolling-extruding are presented. It has been found that the rods obtained by the high-speed crystallization-deformation technology by the direct rolling-extrusion method have a stable ultrafine subgrain structure, which makes it possible to use them as modifiers. Experimental studies have been carried out, which confirmed the assumption that the initial structure of the modifying rod affects the melt. It was revealed that the size and density of distribution of additional crystallization centers formed in the volume of the melt based on clusters are inherited from the original subgrain structure of the modifying rod made of aluminum or its alloys. Metallographic studies have also shown that the subsequent severe plastic deformation by equal-channel angular extruding of rods obtained by direct rolling-extruding from an experimental alloy of the composition Al-0.2Zr-0.2Fe-0.4Mg makes it possible to achieve additional strengthening of the metal, since even more refines its structure, while the average grain size is 647 μm.
