Analysis of the transition in deformation mechanisms in superplastic 5083 aluminum alloys by orientation imaging microscopy

m alloys used in automotive, aerospace and military applications. Superplasticity requires fine grains with high-angle boundaries and resistance to failure by cavitation. OIM permits grain-specific orientation determination and quantitative assessment of the grain-to-grain disorientation distribution as well as grain size measurement in materials. The current work offers significant new insights into the development and response of superplastic microstructures; in particular, OIM data may be employed to delineate the transition from slip to grain boundary sliding in superplastic 5083 materials. / US Navy (USN) author
