Effects of single- and multi-stage solid solution treatments on microstructure and properties of as-extruded AA7055 helical profile

The effects of single-stage solution treatment (SST), enhanced solution treatment (EST), high-temperature pre-precipitation (HTPP) and multi-stage solution treatment (MST) on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the as-extruded 7055 aluminium alloy (AA7055) helical profile were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was observed that EST and MST could promote the dissolution of the second-phase particles compared with the traditional SST, and the intergranular phases were distinctly discontinuously distributed after HTPP and MST. There was obvious difference in the main texture type and texture strength for the alloy after different solid solution treatments. HTPP could improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy by regulating the intergranular phases, but the mechanical properties were severely weakened. While the good corrosion resistance of the alloy could be obtained by MST without obvious strength loss. As a result, the MST is an ideal solid solution treatment scheme for AA7055.

冷轧与拉伸复合预变形对2519A铝合金板材应力腐蚀的影响(英文)

采用10-6s-1慢应变拉伸测试手段研究冷轧与拉伸复合预变形对2519A铝合金抗应力腐蚀开裂性能的影响。冷轧7%后再垂直拉伸3%的合金板材抗拉强度和应力腐蚀指数分别为481MPa和0.0429,与冷轧4%后再平行拉伸3%以及冷轧7%后再平行拉伸3%的合金板材相比表现出了更好的力学性能和抗应力腐蚀开裂性能。这主要是由于冷轧7%后再垂直拉伸3%在合金板材中生成了密度更高且分布更均匀的位错组织,使时效后合金板材晶内析出相细小、密集,晶界析出相不连续,晶界无沉淀析出带且较窄。

通过常温拉伸实验、慢应变拉伸应力腐蚀实验、极化曲线测试及透射电镜等研究了不同时效工艺对2519A合金的力学性能和抗应力腐蚀开裂性能的影响。结果表明:与传统的2519A-T87合金相比,再时效时间为19 h的2519A-T9I7合金同时具有优异的力学性能和良好的抗应力腐蚀开裂性能。这是由于2519A-T9I7合金在T9I6态的基础上延长了再时效时间,使晶界析出相聚集球化,相间距增加,破坏了腐蚀通路,提高了抗应力腐蚀开裂性能。

Al-xMg-3.1Zn铝合金的应力腐蚀开裂行为及其机制

通过慢应变速率拉伸实验和动态电解充氢实验分别研究了Al-x Mg-3.1Zn铝合金的应力腐蚀开裂行为及其氢脆行为。结合宏观断口和微观断口形貌分析研究了合金发生应力腐蚀开裂的进程。通过对合金应力腐蚀开裂的机制进行分析阐明了合金中Mg元素含量对合金应力腐蚀开裂行为的影响。结果表明:在该合金体系中存在应力腐蚀开裂,且合金的应力腐蚀敏感性随合金中Mg含量的降低而降低,这与合金的阳极溶解行为与氢脆行为随Mg元素含量降低而减弱有着直接的关系。在这当中,合金中晶界析出相的数量随Mg元素含量降低而减少起到了至关重要的作用。

Effect of solution treatment on the strength and fracture toughness of aluminum alloy 7050

The effect of the solution treatment on the tensile property and fracture toughness of aluminum alloy 7050 were investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile test and the plane-strain fracture toughness test. The results show that with increasing single-stage solution temperature, the volume fraction of the residual phase decreases, but the volume fraction of the recrystallized grains and the size of the sub-grains increase. Thus, the strength and fracture toughness of the single-stage solution treated samples increase first and then decrease. The enhanced solution treated samples result in an improved dissolution of the residual phase, a lower recrystallized grains fraction and smaller sub-grains, which leads to a higher strength and fracture toughness than that of the single-stage solution treated samples. The grain structure of the high temperature pre-precipitation treated samples is similar to that of the enhanced solution treated samples. However, the high temperature pre-precipitation treated samples exhibit a lower strength and fracture toughness, due to a mass of AlZnMgCu phase precipitating from the matrix.     

Comparison of microstructure and corrosion properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys 7150 and 7010

The influence of coarse Cu-bearing particles, matrix and subgrain boundary precipitates on the stress corrosion susceptibility of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys was investigated. The strength of 7150 alloy is about 15 MPa higher than that of 7010 alloy. The 7010 alloy exhibits higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking as compared with the 7150 alloy. The coarse Cu-bearing particles are detrimental to the resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The increase of size of matrix and subgrain boundary precipitates decreases the susceptibility of stress corrosion. The anodic dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement govern the cracking process. The severity of stress corrosion cracking is shown to be related to the coarse Cu-bearing particles, matrix and subgrain precipitates in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.
