Study on the formability and texture evolution of AA6061 alloy processed by repetitive corrugation and straightening

The severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques allow obtaining ultrafine-grained materials. Different SPD techniques permit processing sheet shape materials such as repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) and accumulative roll bonding (ARB). In this study, the formability of an AA 6061-T6 pr...

Sumario:The severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques allow obtaining ultrafine-grained materials. Different SPD techniques permit processing sheet shape materials such as repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) and accumulative roll bonding (ARB). In this study, the formability of an AA 6061-T6 processed by RCS was evaluated. The forming limit diagrams (FLD) were obtained by Nakazima tests after one and two RCS cycles. The FLD curves showed that the forming capacity decreased from the first RCS cycle. Likewise, uniaxial tensile tests at different temperatures and strain rates were conducted to analyze the effect of the RCS process on the strain rate sensitivity. They showed a relatively high strain rate sensitivity coefficient in the samples after one and two RCS cycles. Finally, the initial texture showed a predominant cube texture component, whereas, for further RCS cycles, a weakening of the cube texture and an increment of the S texture component were observed.
