Crystallographic texture of aluminum alloy samples produced by additive friction-stirred deposition
摘要
The crystallographic texture formation in the AK9ch aluminum alloy (9.6% Si; 0.3% Mg; 0.1% Fe; 0.1% Mn, Al balance) specimens manufactured using the Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFS-D) technology at room temperature is investigated. The analysis was conducted using inverse pole figures (IPFs) obtained by X‑ray diffraction methods. The results reveal the presence of shear, torsion, deformation, and recrystallization texture components in both types of specimens. The texture of horizontal and vertical samples differs in the set of texture components and the character of their dispersion. The texture intensity of both types of specimens is ill-defined. This testifies to the possibility of manufacturing the AK9ch alloy components using AFS‑D technology with reduced anisotropy.
