Abstract
A study of the mechanisms of grain refinement in the process of severe plastic deformation of two aluminum alloys, i.e., 2219 bearing nanometric particles of Al3Zr and low-alloy Al-3% Cu, is described. The alloys are deformed by the method of equal channel angular pressing at 250°C to a maximum strain degree of about 12. The angles of (sub)grain boundaries in alloy 2219 are determined with the help of transmission electron microscopy by the method of Kikuchi lines. The evolution of the microstructure in alloy Al-3% Cu is studied with the help of grain-boundary maps obtained by the method of electron back-scattered diffraction.
