- In this study, the in situ 4 wt.% TiB2(p)/Al-Cu composite was prepared through a mixed salt reaction method. To evaluate its formability, hot isothermal compression tests were performed using a Gleeble−3500 system in a temperature range of 480-510 °C and a strain rate range of 0.1-10 s−1. A constitutive model of the composites with strain compensation was established, and the true stress–strain curves revealed that the composite exhibited favorable formability at 510 °C. Additionally, single-pass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) processes were conducted at room temperature and 510 °C to investigate the microstructure evolution of the composite. The distribution of TiB2 particles was found to be influenced by deformation temperature, while the microstructural characteristics of the aluminum matrix were minimally affected. Furthermore, a comparison between the as-cast composite and the deformed composites revealed the presence of different preferred orientations in the two conditions, and the corresponding paths of texture evolution were estimated accordingly. Remarkably, after undergoing single-pass ECAP, the Schmid factors of composites remained nearly unchanged, demonstrating that deformed composites were still appropriate for processing and as such demonstrating a potential route also for formability assessment.

- Cast Al–Mg alloys with high Mg content have attracted considerable interest as a result of exceptionally low mass density and enhanced Mg solid-solution strengthening effect. However, poor ductility in this class of cast Al–Mg alloys originating from the increased amount of brittle Al3Mg2 phase presents a challenge. This work aims to improve ductility of a cast Al-10 wt%Mg alloy by prolonging time and/or increasing temperature during solid-solution treatment, hence minimizing the amount of the Al3Mg2 phase. The amounts of Al3Mg2 decrease and the concentrations of solute Mg increase with prolonging time and/or increasing temperature, improving both ductility and strength. Solid-solution treatment at 425 °C for 9 h or at 438 °C for 3 h induces complete dissolution of the Al3Mg2 phase, achieving an average uniform elongation of ~27% accompanied by an average 0.2% offset yield strength of ~186 MPa. The mechanisms improving both ductility and strength are discussed.
