Abstract

The study of microstructure and mechanical properties formation of A2024 alloy obtained by the multipass radial-shear rolling (RSR) method is discussed in this article. FEM simulation was carried out that made it possible to evaluate the influence degree of rolling temperature–velocity parameters on the strain state of material. It has been found the increase in rotary velocity of rolls significantly influences on the deformation heating of bar after RSR (predominantly in its surface layer). The combination of rolling temperature–velocity conditions at selection of deformation regime has complex effect on structure and properties formation. The analysis of sizes and distribution of phase particles has shown that the rolling at lower temperatures allowed to increase the mechanical strength due to the more intensive refinement of undissolved Fe-containing phase. The gradual decrease in the rolling temperature in each pass makes possible to achieve the high strength (UTS ~ 430 MPa and YS ~ 255 MPa) while maintaining the ductility level ~ 15%, that are comparable to ones obtained at some severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods.
