Abstract

Analysis of the absorbed impact energy of an Al-Mg-Sc alloy after different thermo-mechanical processing routes was investigated between-196°C and 20°C. The material with a grain size of ∼ 22 μm in cast condition and with an average grain size of 0.7 μm produced by was produced by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) exhibits well-defined ductile-brittle transition in the temperature interval-60...-100°C, however, even at-196°C the value impact energy of fine-grained alloy is higher by a factor of 2 in comparison with coarse-grained state. The impact toughness of the hot rolled alloy linearly decreases with decreasing temperature. The influence of different microstructures on impact toughness and fracture behavior of alloy is discussed.
