Abstract
The ultrafine grained (UFG) structure with an average size of ∼0.8 μm was produced in an Al-Li-Mg-Sc alloy by equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at 325oC with a total strain of ~16. Superplastic behavior was examined in the temperature range 150-250oC at strain rates ranging from 10-5 to 10-2 s-1. A maximum elongation-to-failure of 440% was recorded at 175oC (~0.5 Tm, where Tm is the melting point) and a strain rate of 2.8×10-5 s-1 with the corresponded strain rate sensitivity coefficient of 0.32. Mechanisms of low-temperature superplasticity (LTSP) and high-strain-rate superplasticity (HTSP) are essentially the same. The difference between superplastic behaviors at low and high temperatures is attributed to applied stress.
