Analytical transmission electron microscopy and thermal analysis of as-extruded Al-4.7 pct Zn-2.5 pct Mg-0.2 pct Zr-X wt pct Mn alloys, with Mn contents ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 wt pct, were carried out to elucidate the microstructural change
and accompanying mechanical properties during subsequent heat treatments. The as-extruded alloy was fabricated from rapidly
solidified powder and consisted of a fine, metastable manganese dispersoid and the ternary eutectic T phase (Al2Mg3Zn3). Solution heat treatment resulted in the formation of the stable Al6Mn phase and complete dissolution of the T phase. Formation of stable Al6Mn was made by two routes: by phase transition from metastable Mn dispersoids which already existed, and from the supersaturated
solid solution by homogeneous nucleation. The density of the Al6Mn phase increased with the addition of manganese, while the shape and average size remained unchanged. A significant increase
in the hardness was observed to coincide with the formation of the Al6Mn phase. Similarly, the tensile strength increased further after the aging treatment, and the increment was constant over
the content of Mn in the alloy, which was explained by the contribution from the same amount of precipitates, MgZn2. Results of thermal analysis indicated that the dissolution of the T phase started near 180 °C and that formation of Al6Mn occurred at about 400 °C, suggesting that further enhancement of strength is possible with the modification of the heat-treatment
schedule. 相似文献

A new Al-Li alloy containing 2.3 wt pct Li, 6.5 wt pct Mn, and 0.65 wt pet Zr for high-temperature applications has been processed
by a rapid solidification (RS) technique (as compacts by spray atomization and deposition) and then thermomechanically treated
by hot extrusion. As-received and thermomechanically treated deposits were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM). Phase analyses in the as-processed materials revealed the presence of two Mn phases (Al4Mn and Al6Mn), one Zr phase (Al3Zr), two Li phases (the stable AlLi and the metastable Al3Li), and the aAl solid solution with high excess in Mn solubility (up to close the nominal composition in the as-atomized
powders). As-deposited and extruded pieces were given heating treatments at 430 °C and 530 °C. A two-step aging treatment
was practiced, to check for the optimal (for tensile properties) aging procedure, which was found to be the following: solutioning
at 430 °C for 1 hour and water quenching + a first-step aging at 120 °C for 12 hours + a second-step aging at 175 °C for 15
hours. The mechanical properties, at room and elevated temperatures, of the hot extruded deposits are compared, following
the optimal solutioning and aging treatments. The room-temperature (RT) strength of the proposed alloy is distinctly better
for the as-deposited specimens (highest yield strength, 320 MPa) than for the as-atomized (highest yield strength, 215 MPa),
though less than 65 pct of the RT strength is conserved at 250 °C. Ultimate strengths are quite comparable (in the 420 to
470 MPa range). Ductilities at RTs are in the low 1.5 to 2.5 pct range and show no improvement over other Al-Li alloys. 相似文献

The influence of small additions of C, Zr, and Hf, alone or in combination with B, on the microstructure and tensile behavior
of substoichiometric FeAl was investigated. Tensile prop-erties were determined from 300 to 1100 K on powder which was consolidated
by hot extrusion. All materials possessed some ductility at room temperature, although ternary additions generally reduced
ductility compared to the binary alloy. Adding B to the C- and Zr-containing alloys changed the fracture mode from intergranular
to transgranular and restored the ductility to ap-proximately 5 pct elongation. Additions of Zr and Hf increased strength
up to about 900 K, which was related to a combination of grain refinement and precipitation hardening. Fe6Al6Zr and Fe6Al6Hf precipitates, both with identical body-centered tetragonal structures, were iden-tified as the principal second phases
in these alloys. Strength decreased steadily as temperature increased above 700 K, as diffusion-assisted mechanisms, including
grain boundary sliding and cavitation, became operative. Although all alloys had similar strengths at 1100 K, Hf additions
significantly improved high-temperature ductility by suppressing cavitation. 相似文献

The effect of quenching condition on the mechanical properties of an A356 (Al-7 wt pct Si-0.4 wt pct Mg) casting alloy has
been studied using a combination of mechanical testing, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM). As the quench rate decreases from 250 °C/s to 0.5 °C/s, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength
decrease by approximately 27 and 33 pct, respectively. The ductility also decreases with decreasing quench rate. It appears
that with the peak-aged condition, both the UTS and yield strength are a logarithmic function of the quench rate,i.e., UTS orσ
y
=A logR +B. The termA is a measure of quench sensitivity. For both UTS and yield strength of the peak-aged A356 alloy,A is approximately 32 to 33 MPa/log (°C/s). The peak-aged A356 alloy is more quench sensitive than the aluminum alloy 6063.
For 6063,A is approximately 10 MPa/log (°C/s). The higher quench sensitivity of A356 is probably due to the high level of excess Si.
A lower quench rate results in a lower level of solute supersaturation in the α-Al matrix and a decreased amount of excess
Si in the matrix after quenching. Both of these mechanisms play important roles in causing the decrease in the strength of
the peak-aged A356 with decreasing the quench rate. 相似文献

A new Al-Li alloy containing 2.3 wt pct Li, 6.5 wt pct Mn, and 0.65 wt pet Zr, for high-temperature applications, has been
processed by a rapid solidification (RS) technique (as powders by inert gas atomization) and then thermomechanically treated
by hot isostatic pressing (hipping) and hot extrusion. As-received and thermomechanically treated powders (of various size
fractions) were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM, respectively).
Phase analyses in the as-processed materials revealed the presence of two Mn phases (Al4Mn and Al6Mn), one Zr phase (Al3Zr), two Li phases (the stable AlLi and the metastable Al3Li), and the αAl solid solution with high excess in Mn solubility (up to close the nominal composition in the as-atomized
powders). Extruded pieces were solutionized at 370 °C and 530 °C for various soaking times (2 to 24 hours). A variety of aging
treatments was practiced to check for the optimal (for tensile properties) aging procedure, which was found to be the following:
solutioning at 370 °C for 2 hours and water quenching + 1 pct mechanical stretching + one step aging at 120 °C for 3 hours.
The mechanical properties, at room and elevated temperatures, of the “hipped” and hot extruded powders are compared following
the optimal solutioning and aging treatments. The results indicate that Mn is indeed a favorable alloying element for rapidly
solidified Al-Li alloys to retain about 85 to 95 pct of the room-temperature tensile properties even at 250 °C, though room-temperature
strength is not satisfactory in itself. However, specific moduli are by 20 to 25 pet higher than those of the 2024 series
duralumin-type alloys. Ductilities at room temperatures are in the low 1 to 2.5 pct range and show no improvement over other
Al-Li alloys. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of solution treatment (in the temperature range 520 °C to 550 °C)
and artificial aging (in the temperature range 140 °C to 180 °C) on the variation in the microstructure, tensile properties,
and fracture mechanisms of Al-10 wt pct Si-0.6 wt pct Mg/SiC/10p composite castings. In the as-cast condition, the SiC particles are observed to act as nucleation sites for the eutectic
Si particles. Increasing the solution temperature results in faster homogenization of the microstructure. Effect of solution
temperature on tensile properties is evident only during the first 4 hours, after which hardly any difference is observed
on increasing the solution temperature from 520 °C to 550 °C. The tensile properties vary significantly with aging time and
temperature, with typical yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and percent elongation (EL) values of ∼300
MPa, ∼330 MPa, and ∼1.4 pct in the underaged condition, ∼330 MPa, ∼360 MPa, and ∼0.65 pct in the peakaged condition, and ∼323
MPa, ∼330 MPa, and ∼0.8 pct in the overaged condition. Prolonged solution treatment at 550 °C for 24 hours results in a slight
improvement in the ductility of the aged test bars. The fracture surfaces exhibit a dimple morphology and cleavage of the
SiC particles, the extent of SiC cracking increasing with increasing tensile strength and reaching a maximum in the overaged
condition. Microvoids act as nucleation sites for the formation of secondary cracks that promote severe cracking of the SiC
particles. A detailed discussion of the fracture mechanism is given. 相似文献

Aluminum scandium binary alloys represent a promising precipitation-hardening alloy system. However, the hardness of the binary alloys decreases with the rapid coarsening of Al3Sc precipitate during high-temperature aging. In the current study, we report a new approach to compensate for the loss of mechanical properties by combining rapid solidification with very small ternary addition of transition metal Ni. This addition yields dispersion, and at a critical concentration improves the mechanical properties. We explore additions of a maximum of 0.06 at. pct of Nickel to a binary Al-0.14 at. pct Sc alloy, which yield nickel-rich dispersions. We report two kinds of biphasic dispersions containing AlNi2Sc/Al9Ni2 and α-Al/Al9Ni2 phase combinations. The maximum improvement in mechanical properties occurs with the addition of 0.045 at. pct Ni with a yield strength of 239 ± 7 MPa for an aging treatment at 583 K (310 °C) for 15 hours. 相似文献

The microstructure and corrosion behavior of as-cast and heat-treated Al-4.5 pct Cu-2.0 pct Mn alloy specimens solidified
at various cooling rates were investigated. The equilibrium phases Al6Mn and θ-Al2Cu, which are observed in the conventionally solidified alloy in the as-cast condition, were not detected in rapidly solidified
(melt-spun) material. Instead, the ternary compound Al20Cu2Mn3 was present in addition to the α phase, which was present in all cases. The morphological and kinetic nature of corrosion
was investigated metallographically and through potentiostatic techniques in 3.5 wt pct NaCl aqueous solution. Corrosion of
the as-cast material was described by two anodic reactions: corrosion of the intermetallic phases and pitting of the α-Al
solid solution. The corrosion rate increased with cooling rate from that for the furnace-cooled alloy to that for the copper
mold-cast alloy and, subsequently, decreased in the rapidly solidified alloy. In the heat-treated material, corrosion could
be described by two anodic reactions: corrosion of Al20Cu2Mn3 precipitate particles and pitting of the α-Al matrix.

A new process for producing rapidly solidified bulk alloys was developed based on the hammer- and-anvil concept. In the process,
an A1-12 wt pct Si alloy slab was built up layer by layer and then hot worked to get a solid and integral sheet. The oxygen
content of the layer-deposited alloy is less than the typical value of powder metallurgy (PM) alloys by one order, and the
cooling rate can reach 104 K/s, which is higher than that of the spray deposition process. In comparison with the ingot-processed Al-12 wt pct Si alloy,
layer-deposited alloy exhibits su- perior mechanical properties. This is attributable to the fine and uniform silicon-particle
distri- bution which not only brings on dispersion hardening effect but also raises the elongation and fracture strain. The
mechanisms responsible for this enhancement were discussed in terms of particle size and effective volume fraction. 相似文献

The precipitation reaction in an aluminum alloy containing 0.05 wt pct Fe (enriched in Fe57) was studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was found that in addition to the equilibrium precipitate, Fe Al3, the metastable phase FeAl6 occurs as well. Formation of FeAl6 is favored when the rate of precipitation is accelerated by cold working the supersaturated alloy. Step anneal experiments were performed in an effort to determine an activation energy for growth of precipitate particles. The results of these experiments are not entirely consistent with simple models of the nucleation and growth process. 相似文献

The effect of powder particle size on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of Al-20 wt pct Si
alloy powders was studied in both the gas-atomized and extruded conditions. The microstructure of the as-atomized powders
consisted of fine Si particles and that of the extruded bars showed a homogeneous distribution of fine eutectic Si and primary
Si particles embedded in the Al matrix. The grain size of fcc-Al varied from 150 to 600 nm and the size of the eutectic Si
and primary Si was about 100 to 200 nm in the extruded bars. The room-temperature tensile strength of the alloy with a powder
size <26 μm was 322 MPa, while for the coarser powder (45 to 106 μm), it was 230 MPa. The tensile strength of the extruded bar from the fine powder (<26 μm) was also higher than that of the Al-20 wt pct Si-3 wt pct Fe (powder size: 60 to 120 μm) alloys. With decreasing powder size from 45 to 106 μm to <26 μm, the specific wear of all the alloys decreased significantly at all sliding speeds due to the higher strength achieved by
ultrafine-grained constituent phases. The thickness of the deformed layer of the alloy from the coarse powder (10 μm at 3.5 m/s) was larger on the worn surface in comparison to the bars from the fine powders (5 μm at 3.5 m/s), attributed to the lower strength of the bars with coarse powders. 相似文献

The effect of various silicon levels on the reaction between iron panels and Al-Zn-Si liquid baths during hot dipping at 610°C
was studied. Five different baths were used: 55Al−0.7Si−Zn, 55Al−1.7Si−Zn, 55Al−3.0Si−Zn, 55Al−5.0Si−Zn, and 55Al−6.88Si−Zn
(in wt pct). The phases which formed as a result of this reaction were identified as Fe2Al5 and FeAl3 (binary Fe−Al phases with less than 2 wt pct Si and Zn in solution),T1, T2, T4, T8, andT
5H (ternary Fe−Al−Si phases), andT
5C (a quaternary Fe−Al−Si−Zn phase). Compositional variations through the reaction zone were determined. The phase sequence
in the reaction zone of the panel dipped for 3600 seconds in the 1.7 wt pct Si bath was iron panel/(Fe2Al5+T
1)/FeAl3/(T
5H+T
5C)/overlay. In the panel dipped for 1800 seconds in the 3.0 wt pct Si bath the reaction zone consisted of iron panel/Fe2Al5/(Fe2Al5+T
1)/T
1/FeAl3/(FeAl3+T
2)/T
5H/overlay. In the panel dipped for 3600 seconds in the 6.88 wt pct Si bath the phase sequence was iron panel/Fe2Al5/(Fe2Al5+T1)/(T1+FeAl3)/(T1+T2)/T2/T8/T4/overlay. The growth kinetics of the reaction zone were also studied. A minimum growth rate for the reaction zone which formed
from a reaction between the iron panel and molten Al−Zn−Si bath was found in the 3.0 wt pct Si bath. The growth kinetics of
the reaction layers were found to be diffusion controlled in the 0.7, 1.7, and 6.88 wt pct Si baths, and interface controlled
in the 3.0 and 5.0 wt pct Si baths. The presence of the interface between theT2/T5H, Fe2Al5/T
1, orT
1/FeAl3 phases is believed responsible for the interface controlled growth kinetics exhibited in the 3.0 and 5.0 wt pct Si baths. 相似文献

In this work, isothermal crystallization of a synthetic slag containing 46 wt pct CaO, 46 wt pct SiO2, 6 wt pct Al2O3, and 2 wt pct Na2O has been investigated by means of double hot thermocouple technique (DHTT). The effect of Na2O content on crystallization time was confirmed. Two different types of calcium silicate crystals were observed. Calcium di-silicate
forms at temperatures above 1150 °C and calcium tri-silicate precipitate at temperatures below 1050 °C. A mixture of the two
types of calcium silicate has been observed between the two temperatures. The tendency of crystals to become richer in calcium
at low temperatures that has also been observed in previous published works has been confirmed. No effect of the cooling rate
on crystallization start time was confirmed in the range of cooling rates applied in this investigation. 相似文献

The creep and fracture properties of high-purity Ni-20 pct Cr and Ni-20 pct Cr-0.11 pct Zr alloys are compared at 1073 K in
vacuum. The Ni-20 pct Cr alloy cavitates at the grain boundaries and fractures intergranularly after strains of typically
20 pct. The observed cavity growth rates are in keeping with those predicted. Alloying with zirconium substantially increases
the creep strength and ductility. Creep rupture associated with dynamic recrystallization occurs, and voids are observed only
in heavily necked parts of the samples. In addition to Ni5Zr and ZrO2 inclusions, a Zr4C2S2 carbo-sulfide was identified. Thus, the sulfur-gettering effect of zirconium even at very low residual sulfur levels (20
wt ppm) was confirmed. The zirconium-induced increase in the creep strength is discussed, and the inhibition of creep cavitation
by zirconium is examined within the framework of thermal cavity nucleation. Lowering of the grain boundary diffusivity and
the grain boundary free energy as well as dynamic recrystallization are likely to reduce cavity nucleation and growth rates
in Ni-Cr-Zr and will thus increase its ductility. Finally, the results are used to illustrate the critical importance of minor
alloying additions in constructing and using fracture mechanism maps. 相似文献

Several alloys based on Fe-25Cr-6Al and Fe-25Cr-11Al (wt pct) with additions of yttrium, Al2O3, and Y2O3 have been prepared by mechanical alloying of elemental, master alloy and oxide powders. The powders were consolidated by
extrusion at 1000°C with a reduction ratio of 36:1. The resulting oxide contents were all approximately either 3 vol pct or
8 vol pct of mixed Al2O3-Y2O3 oxides or of Al2O3. The alloys exhibited substantial ductility at 600°C: an alloy containing 3 vol pct oxide could be readily warm worked to
sheet without intermediate annealing; an 8 vol pct alloy required intermediate annealing at 1100°C. The 3 vol pct alloys could
be recrystallized to produce large elongated grains by isothermal annealing of as-extruded material at 1450°C, but the high
temperature strength properties were not improved. However, these alloys, together with some of the 8 vol pct materials, could
be more readily recrystallized after rod (or sheet) rolling; sub-stantially improved tensile and stress rupture properties
were obtained following 9 pct rod rolling at 620°C and isothermal annealing for 2 h at 1350°C. In this condition, the rup-ture
strengths of selected alloys at 1000 and 1100°C were superior to those of competitive nickel-and cobalt-base superalloys.
The oxidation resistance of all the alloys was ex-cellent.

The influence of addition of 0.4 wt pct Mg on the precipitation sequence in the balanced Al-1.0 wt pct Mg2Si bearing 0.5 wt pct Ag has been investigated during the continuous heating of the quenched alloy from the solid solution state. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques have been used. The DSC experiments showed that all processes occurred are thermally activated. The activation energies of the precipitation processes have been determined and hence the kinetics of these precipitates have been determined. The obtained results have shown that the existence of excess Mg inhibits the formation of the early stage clusters of solute-vacancy clusters. These clusters can be assisted by the binding energies between solute Si, Mg, and Ag atoms and the excess vacancies. On the other hand, excess Mg accelerates the precipitation of random, β′-phase and β-phase precipitates. 相似文献

The tensile properties of directionally solidified Al-4 wt pct Cu-0.15-0.2 wt pct Ti alloys with equiaxed grains were determined
and compared with the properties of directionally solidified Al-4 wt pct Cu columnar structures. The tensile properties of
the equiaxed structure were isotropic, but varied with the distance from the chill face. The mechanical properties of the
equiaxed structure were generally between those of the longitudinal and transverse columnar structures. The 0.2 pct offset
yield stress(σ
y, MPa) is represented as a function of the grain size,d (mm), the average concentration, Co (wt pct), and the local concentration, C (wt pct), by σy = [(15.7 + 22.6 Co) + (1.24 + 1.04 Co)d
-1/2] + [15.7 △C], where △C = C - Co. The equiaxed structure exhibits inverse segregation similar to that in the columnar structure. 相似文献

The present study is concerned with γ-(Ti52Al48)100−x
B
x
(x=0, 0.5, 2, 5) alloys produced by mechanical milling/vacuum hot pressing (VHPing) using melt-extracted powders. Microstructure
of the as-vacuum hot pressed (VHPed) alloys exhibits a duplex equiaxed microstructure of α2 and γ with a mean grain size of 200 nm. Besides α2 and γ phases, binary and 0.5 pct B alloys contain Ti2AlN and Al2O3 phases located along the grain boundaries and show appreciable coarsening in grain and dispersoid sizes during annealing
treatment at 1300 °C for 5 hours. On the other hand, 2 pct B and 5 pct B alloys contain fine boride particles within the γ
grains and show minimal coarsening during annealing. Room-temperature compressing tests of the as-VHPed alloys show low ductility,
but very high yield strength >2100 MPa. After annealing treatment, mechanically milled alloys show much higher yield strength
than conventional powder metallurgy and ingot metallurgy processed alloys, with equivalent ductility to ingot metallurgy processed
alloys. The 5 pct B alloy with the smallest grain size shows higher yield strength than binary alloy up to the test temperature
of 700 °C. At 850 °C, 5 pct B alloy shows much lower strength than the binary alloy, indicating that the deformation of fine
5 pct B alloy is dominated by the grain boundary sliding mechanism.

A certain degree of cold working is advantageous in developing a fine microstructure with minute silicon crystals for eutectic
and/or hypereutectic Al-Si cast alloys. A novel process, repeated thermomechanical treatment (RTMT), was applied to an Al-12.6 wt pct Si cast alloy. The process involves multiple-pass cold working (less than a 20 pct
reduction in section area) and heat treatment at 793 K for 3.6 ks. Cold-work annealing was repeated up to about an 80 pct reduction in section from the beginning. The RTMT material showed a refined microstructure
with high ductility. Most silicon crystals were fragmented to only a few micrometers and were spheroidized. The RTMT material
showed such marked plasticity that it could be wrought up to a 99 pct reduction in section at room temperature. The Cold-worked
RTMT materials exhibited an excellent balance between tensile strength and elongation and a higher strain hardening than the
cast material. 相似文献
