Abstract
To improve the balance of strength and ductility of the Al–6% Ca–8% Cu (wt %) alloy, the high-pressure torsion (HPT) deformation followed by annealing was applied. The structure of the as-cast alloy consisted mainly of two eutectics [(Al) + AlCaCu] and [(Al) + (Al, Cu)4Ca + AlCaCu]. HPT through three turns leads to the formation of a predominantly submicrocrystalline structure, refinement of eutectic particles and their more uniform distribution in the sample volume, calcium segregation from AlCuCa and (Al, Cu)4Ca particles, and supersaturation of the (Al) solid solution with copper. Such a structure provides a strengthening of the alloy by a factor of 3.5, but contributes to its embrittlement. Subsequent annealing at 400°C achieves a good balance of strength and ductility of the alloy.
