【 摘 要 】

This study investigated the effects of heat treatment (annealing) on the microstructure of ultrafine grained 6061 Al alloy samples fabricated by a differential speed rolling (DSR) process. The samples were fabricated using two passes DSR with 75% thickness reduction and a speed ratio of 1:4. The DSR-deformed 6061 Al alloy sample exhibited a lamellar boundary structure composed mostly of subgrains surrounded by low-angle grain boundaries. After annealing, the DSR-deformed 6061 Al alloy samples exhibited coarse grained structure and transformed from lamellar to equiaxed, where both the grain size and grain shape aspect ratio increased with increasing annealing temperature. The fraction of grain boundaries with high misorientation angles increased progressively during annealing, to ~77% at annealing temperature of 350 °C.
