Abstract

The evolution of surface, grains and dislocation structures during superplastic deformation was studied in Al–6.8%Mg–0.6%Mn–0.25%Cr alloy by SEM, EBSD, TEM techniques. The effective activation energy of superplastic deformation was calculated. Contribution of grain boundary sliding was defined during superplastic deformation. Low value of grain boundary sliding, significant dynamic grain growth in stress direction, high dislocations activity and permanent continuous formation of sub-grain boundaries during superplastic deformation were found.
