Study of Recrystallization Kinetics of 1565ch Aluminum Alloy during hot deformation

Abstract

The present study addresses recrystallization process in Al-Mg-Mn-Zn-Zr system alloy samples. The samples are collected from cast ingot, produced by casting to industrial DC mold, and homogenized based on standard industrial practice. After that the samples were rolled with different hot rolling schedules. Rolled samples were annealed at different temperatures and their resultant microstructure was examined using optical microscope. During the study new grains nuclei generation rate and their growth rate were determined, analytical records, describing recrystallization kinetics, were obtained, main differences, specific to this alloy recrystallization in 350 ºС-450 ºС temperature range, were identified.
