Abstract
The flow stress behaviour of commercially available AA6063-AlMg0.5Si0.4 with ultrafine-grain size is investigated over a wide range of strain and strain rates under uniaxial compression. The ultrafine-grained microstructure is achieved by equal channel angular extrusion and characterised by grain sizes well below 1 μm. Results of quasi-static loading show that the ultrafine-grained states behave in an elastic – nearly perfect plastic manner with significantly reduced strain hardening capacity. When compared to the coarse grained counterpart, no change in strain rate sensitivity was measured for the material after two extrusions. In contrast to that, after eight extrusions the material shows significantly increased strain rate sensitivity especially in the range of highest rates above 102 s−1.
