Abstract

The superplasticity and microstructure evolution during superplastic deformation for two Al-Cu-Mg-Zr-Mn-Y and Al-Cu-Mg-Zr-Mn-Er alloys were compared. The heterogeneous microstructure was formed in both alloys. Coarse particles of the Cu and Y/Er-bearing and Mn, Fe, Si-bearing phases of solidification origin with a mean size of 1.1/1.4 µm and volume fraction of ~ 9% and fine precipitates of the Mn- and Zr-bearing phases were observed. Precipitates with Zr demonstrated L12 structure and contained Cu, Mg, and Y or Er. The residual elements Si and Fe were found in these precipitates for the alloy with Y. Due to PSN effect of coarse particles and Zener pinning effect of fine precipitates, a fine-grained structure with a mean size of ~ 6.5 µm was formed. Distribution of coarse particles in the aluminum solid solution was more homogeneous for Y-bearing alloy, which exhibited more uniform grain structure and a higher grain size stability with much better superplastic properties. The alloy with Y demonstrated strain rate sensitivity of 0.45–0.55 and elongation to failure of 400–550% at 5 × 10−4–1 × 10−2 s−1 and 575°C. Grain elongation to the tensile direction, dislocation activity in the grain interior and formation of low-angle grain boundaries were observed during superplastic deformation.
