Dedicated to Professor Dr. PAVEL LuKAC on the occasion of his 60th birthdayA very fine-grained Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy prepared using high energy gas atomization was studied. The alloy exhibits structural superplasticity at temperatures between 700 and 800 K at strain rates of the order lo-' 5s'. Its deformation behaviour may be described by the concept of a threshold stress for grain boundary sliding. A continuous recrystallization takes place during superplastic straining. The gradual increase of the mean misorientation angle between neighbouring grains is believed to contribute to the development of grain boundary sliding and to the dynamic softening.
Untersucht wurde eine sehr feinkornige Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-ZrLegierung, die durch hochenergetische Gasatomisierung hergestellt wurde. Diese Legierung ist superplastisch bei Temperaturen zwischen 700 und 800 K und bei Verformungsraten in der GroBenordnung lO-'s-'. Ihre superplastische Verformung kann mit dem Konzept einer Schwellspannung fur die Korngrenzgleitung erklart werden. Kontinuierliche Rekristallisation tritt wahrend der superplastischen Verformung auf. Das Anwachsen des mittleren Misorientationswinkels zwischen den Nachbarkornern kann zur Entwicklung der Korngrenzgleitung und zu dynamischer Entfestigung fiihren.
