Abstract

Effect of radial shear rolling on the morphology of intermetallic particles, and the mechanical properties of 7075 alloy at different processing temperatures and heat treatment after deformation was investigated. The results were consistent with data on metallographic investigation of phase particle shape, counts, and distribution. It was found that the formation, quantitative distribution, and circularity of particles at the surface and in the centre of the bar depended on the processing temperature and temperature gradient between surface and centre and were defined with a scheme of stresses in the deformation zone. The values of strength properties for all bars obtained by RSR depended on the processing regimes, while plasticity (elongation to failure δ = 14%–20%) increased with the growth of processing temperature. Article highlights Radial shear rolling makes it possible to obtain aluminium alloy bars with a gradient structure and a combination of high strength and ductility. The influence of the RSR method is reflected in the nature of the distribution of dispersive particles in the matrix of alloy. Mechanical properties of bars subjected to the RSR method depend on the initial processing regimes, while the level of plasticity increases with the growth of processing temperature.
