Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is a severe plastic deformation technique used to produce microstructures conducive for low temperature superplasticity. This processing technique not only produces sub-micron grains but also non-equilibrium grain boundaries with increased grain boundary diffusivity. Low temperature superplasticity (225 <T< 250 °C) was achieved with activation energies between 40 and 80 kJ/mol; significantly lower than what is commonly reported for grain boundary sliding limited by grain boundary diffusion (84 kJ/mol). This reduction in activation energy is a direct result of non-equilibrium grain boundary development which allows for enhanced diffusion rates at substantially lower temperatures. Activation energies increased above 100 kJ/mol after 15 min of thermal exposure between 225 °C and 250 °C, providing further evidence that low temperature superplasticity relies heavily on the metastable grain boundary structure produced by ARB. The cavitation void area fraction for optimal low temperature superplastic conditions was well below 1 pct for thinning ratios (to/tf) around 2.0 (ε= 0.75,e= 1.12), which is far superior compared to the ≈ 5 pct achieved in conventionally processed material (T= 500 °C) strained to similar levels. This work not only provides a framework for the temperature and strain rate limits of superplasticity of submicron grained material, but also investigates critical parameters pertinent to the forming industry, including damage accumulation, strain localization and thermal stability of microstructure.
