Influence of Cold Rolled Deformation Degree and Heating Rates on Crystallite Dimension and Recrystallization Fraction of Aluminum Plates

In order to study the microstructure evolution rule of pure aluminum plates during different cold-rolled (CR) deformation degrees and annealing processes, samples with aCR deformation of 50~85%, heating rates of 60~100 °C/min and annealing at the target temperature of 350~500 °C were investigated.

description In order to study the microstructure evolution rule of pure aluminum plates during different cold-rolled (CR) deformation degrees and annealing processes, samples with aCR deformation of 50~85%, heating rates of 60~100 °C/min and annealing at the target temperature of 350~500 °C were investigated. The microstructure, crystallite dimension and grain boundary characteristics were characterized by the methods of polarizing microscope (PM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The results showed that the crystallite dimension of the initial state was 102 μm and ends up completely broken with an increase in the CR deformation degree. When the CR deformation increases to 85%, the deformed micro-bands were very small, with a band spacing of 5~10 μm. At this time, the grain distortion is more serious, there are more high-density grain defects, such as dislocations, and there is a high deformation of the storage energy, which is the energy preparation for the subsequent finished products to withstand the annealing process. The recrystallization fraction was higher with an increase in annealing temperature. After completed recrystallization, the grains showed an equiaxed shape. Orientation imaging and misorientation angle analysis showed that the red-oriented grains of the (001) plane, which had preferred nucleation, recrystallization and rapid grain growth. Final grains of the completed recrystallization are relatively coarse. Under the same deformation, the average crystallite dimension of the recrystallized grains decreases with an increase in annealing heating rate.
