Abstract
In order to reveal the evolution mechanism of the deformation microstructure of 2219 aluminum alloy tube under compression-shear stress, in this paper, flow forming tests and their numerical simulations were carried out, respectively, at temperatures from 250 °C to 400 °C. Meanwhile, a midrange layer index was proposed to analyze the gradient of deformation microstructure. The results show that multiple recrystallization mechanisms of the 2219 aluminum alloy are presented simultaneously during hot flow forming. The shear stress during forming is the main factor that generated the microstructure gradient along the thickness direction, and the recrystallization level is higher with higher shear strain. In addition, it is beneficial to improve microstructure homogeneity and mechanical properties by increasing thickness reduction or decreasing the temperature. This study provides guidance for microstructure control of the 2219 aluminum alloy tube flow forming process.
