Abstract

An Al-0.1% Mg alloy was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature. The Al-0.1% Mg alloy displays strain softening phenomenon through hardness evolution: the hardness values in the disc centre area are higher than at the disc edge area after 1/2, 1 and 3 turns, and the size of the hard region in the disc centre gradually reduces as the numbers of turns increases from 1/2 to 3 turns. The hardness values evolve towards homogeneity along the disc diameters after 5 and 10 turns. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray line profile analysis suggest that the lower hardness values at the disc edge area in the Al-0.1% Mg alloy are related to a recovery / recrystallization mechanism where the material is subjected to heavy straining.
