The effect of monotonous and non-monotonous severe plastic deformations (SPD) on the structure and properties of aluminium alloys is studied. A conventional hydrostatic extrusion (HE) with a constant deformation direction and an equal-channel angular hydroextrusion (ECAH) with an abrupt change in the deformation direction are chosen for the cases of monotonous and nonmonotonous SPD, respectively. Model cast hypoeutectic Al—0.3% Sc alloys and hypereutectic Al—0.6% Sc alloys alloyed with Ta and Ti are chosen in the study. As demonstrated, the SPD of these alloys result in the segregation of the material in active and inactive zones, which form a banded structure. The active zones are shown to be bands of localized plastic deformation. The distance between zones is found to be independent on the degree of accumulated strain and is in the range of 0.6—1 $\mu$m. A dynamic recrystallization in the active zones is observed using TEM and is accompanied by the formation of disclinations, deformation bands, low-angle and high-angle boundaries, i.e. rotational deformation modes are developed. A dynamic recrystallization occurs more intensively during the non-monotonous deformation as compared with the monotonous one that is confirmed by the reduction of both stress and texture degree in materials after ECAH.
Key words: alloyed Al—Sc alloys, severe plastic deformation, hydrostatic extrusion, equal-channel angular hydroextrusion, dynamic recrystallization, disclinations, deformation bands, low-angle and high-angle boundaries, ageing, supersaturated solid solution.
