Abstract

Grain refinement taking place in a commercial 7055 aluminum alloy under equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was examined in the temperature interval 250375°C. It was shown that the formation of recrystallized grains occurs through continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). At 250°C, a low rate of dynamic recovery and high volume fraction of second phase particles provide the rapid formation of stable three-dimensional arrays of low-angle boundaries and their gradual transformation into high-angle boundaries. Increasing temperature leads an increase in the average crystallite size produced by ECAP from 0.7 μm at 250°C to 1.3 μm at 375°C. The effect of temperature on CDRX kinetic is discussed.
