Abstract

This study investigated the texture, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior during cold working of cryorolled (CR) Al-Mg-Si alloys. An x-ray texture goniometer was used to examine the crystallographic texture, and tensile tests were performed to understand the deformation behavior in more detail. SEM/EBSD/TEM was used to observe the microstructures and fracture morphology of the alloy during cryorolling. The microstructures indicated that a large number of ultrafine grains and dislocations formed after cryorolled. The recrystallization was prohibited due to low temperature during deformation. The ultrafine grains and dislocation strength improved the tensile strength from 279.38 MPa for the room-rolled alloy to 313.98 MPa for the cryorolled alloy; better plasticity (4.6%) was observed in the CR sheet. Ductile and intergranular fractures were observed in the CR sheet deformation from 20 to 90%.
