Quantifying microstructural features in aging process

of Al6061

Ali KhosravaniJordan Weaver

Project Goal:Extract Microstructure-Property-Process linkages in aging of Al6061 aluminum alloy through multi model experimental methods

Mechanical testing: • Tensile testing • Spherical indentation

Microscopy technique:• SEM• EBSD• OM

• Al6061 application• Aging process• Mechanical Properties

Salient Microstructural Features

• Grain size, shape, and texture

• Constituent particle size,

volume fraction, distribution,

and spacing

• Precipitate size, volume

fraction, and spacing

Grain Size, Shape, and TextureInverse pole figure mapAn inverse pole figure shows the position of a sample direction relative to the crystal reference frame. In terms of IPF map in EBSD, each color represent three euler angle that transform the sample frame to the crystal frame.

As-received sample

Grain size distribution

Grain size distribution is calculated based on equivalent diameter values. The equivalent diameter is the diameter of a circle that gives the same area as the one for that grain.

Aged at 775F for 2 hrs

Grain aspect ratio distribution

One measure of the shape of grains in EBSD scan is the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is defined as the length of the minor axis divided by the length of the major axis and thus ranges from 0 to 1

TextureThe full 3D representation of crystallographic texture is given by the orientation distribution function (ODF). The ODF is defined as the volume fraction of grains with a certain orientation g.
