Superplastic deformation of Al-Al4C3 composites
Deformation of the Al-Al4C3 composites with different volume fraction of Al4C3 phase was tested at different temperatures and different strain rates. As shown, at temperatures 400-450 degreesC and the highest strain rate applied 10(-1) s(-1), a significant ductility growth was observed. According to the results of TEM analysis, it is supposed to be the result of dynamic grain polygonization, grain slip and rotation, partial recrystallization and dislocation creep in the tested system, known as strain induced dynamic recovery. Increase of the volume fraction of secondary phase in the investigated composite changed the deformation mechanism (from more slip on grain boundaries to more grain rotation).
