Superplastic Deformation Mechanisms in Fine-Grained 2050 Al-Cu-Li Alloys

The deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of fine-grained 2050 alloys at elevated temperatures and slow strain rates were investigated. The results showed that significant dynamic anisotropic grain growth occurred at the primary stage of deformation. Insignificant dislocation activity,...
