摘要
Severe surface roughening during plastic deforming of aluminum alloy parts can produce ＂orange peel＂ defects. To analyze ＂orange peel＂ of 6063 aluminum alloy tube quantificationally, the tensile tests of trapezoidal specimens were carried out. The tubes with different grain sizes were obtained by spinning and subsequent annealing heat treatment. The macroscopical behavior of surface roughening was characterized by surface roughness Ra using a laser scanning confocal microscope. The corresponding microscopic behavior was reflected by microstructures of specimens and in-situ observation using electron back-scattered diffraction（EBSD）. The obtained results show that the surface roughness increased firstly with increasing strain and then decreased slightly. There was a critical strain for aluminum alloy tube, below which ＂orange peel＂ defect would not occur. For the tube with a mean grain size of 80, 105, 130 and 175 μm, the critical strains were 10.17%, 5.74%, 3.15% and 1.62%, respectively. Meanwhile, the surface roughening behavior was produced by serious inhomogeneous deformation between grains as strain increased, and was aggravated as the grain size increased due to the larger local deformation in larger grains.
表面粗化严重到一定程度形成橘皮缺陷。为了定量分析6063铝合金管的表面橘皮现象,通过旋压热处理获得具有不同晶粒尺寸的管材,利用梯形拉伸试样进行拉伸实验。通过激光共聚焦显微镜测量表面粗糙度Ra以反映宏观表面粗化程度,通过EBSD观察微观组织以及原位拉伸过程以反映微观表面粗化行为。结果表明,表面粗糙度随着应变量的增加先增加后轻微减小,对于不同晶粒尺寸的管材都存在一个临界应变量,当应变量低于临界值时不会出现橘皮缺陷。当平均晶粒尺寸为80、105、130和175μm时,临界应变量分别为10.17%、5.74%、3.15%和1.62%。表面粗化由严重的不均匀变形引起,在大晶粒中局部变形比较严重,导致表面粗化严重。
