Summary This work investigates the relationship between the strain rate and the ductility and the underlying deformation mechanisms in an ultrafine-grained Al6082 alloy. At room temperature the uniform elongation of the material exhibits a marked increase with decreasing strain rate. This effect is related to the activation of micro shear banding, which is controlled by grain boundary sliding. The contribution of these mechanisms to uniform elongation is estimated. It is proposed that the grain boundary sliding suppresses the transformation of micro shear bands into macro shear bands. The activity of other deformation mechanisms during plastic deformation of the ultrafine-grained material is also discussed.
