Characterization of grain boundary properties in superplastic Al based alloys using EBSD
The grain boundary characteristics in the 1050, 5052, 5083, 6061 and 1420 LTSP Al alloys were examined using EBSD as a function of TMT and LTSP deformation true strain from 1.5-12.0. The grain boundary character was observed to evolve continuously during TMT and LTSP deformation. With increasing accumulated deformation strain, the bimodal grain boundary misorientation distribution gradually transformed into semi-random behavior. For different alloys under cold or warm working, the minimum working strain to achieve a semi-random grain boundary misorientation distribution favorable for GBS and LTSP varied accordingly. Only minor variation was observed for the CSL boundary fraction during TMT and LTSP deformation. Still over 80% of the MAB+HAB belonged to random higher angle boundaries that could proceed GBS. No apparent relationship was seen for the CSL population and LTSP performance.
