“…In addition, distinction between the grain boundaries and grain interior is difficult due to severe fragmentation of the grains. Similar results were obtained by rawat et al during cryorolling of LM 6 Al alloy [8] It is understood that with the enhancement in reduction values, the dynamic recovery got suppressed and there was higher amount of dislocation accumulation thereby increasing the dislocation density. However, it is very difficult to measure the grain size from this micrograph due to limitation of optical microscopy.…”

In the present work, the effect of cryo-rolling on the processed LM6 alloy samples has been studied. The solution treated (ST) sample of LM6 alloy has been processed through cryo-rolling with reduction of its thickness with values such as 30%, 40%, and 75%. One of the key material properties i.e., fracture toughness has been studied and equivalent energy fracture toughness ( ) is being evaluated according to the ASTM E 992 standard. The microstructure evolution after processing through cryorolling (CR) has been carried out with the help of optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Then, the calculated values of fracture toughness parameter i.e., equivalent energy fracture toughness ( is being correlated with the microstructure evolution after processing of LM6 alloy. It was found out that there is an improvement in equivalent energy fracture toughness ( ) as the reduction values increases. The 75% CR sample showed great increment of 67% as compared to ST alloy sample. The microstructure evolution also signifies the mix-mode fracture visualized through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and as the reduction values increase, the ductile fracture zone dominance increases on brittle fracture zone indicating there is improvement in fracture toughness of the ultra-fined grain LM6 alloy due to the grain refinement, dislocation strengthening and grain boundary strengthening.
