The effect of creep aging on localized corrosion resistance of AA2060 alloy

The influence of creep aging at varied stresses on the localized corrosion behavior of AA2060 has been studied in this paper. Samples were subjected to stress free aging (SFA) and creep aging (CA) under two stress levels, after which tensile tests and intergranular corrosion (IGC) tests were carried out. The corrosion morphology and depth were examined using optical microscope. Compared with SFA, CA can enhance the mechanical properties and increase the IGC resistance of Al–Cu–Li alloy but high-stress CA would intensify the intragranular corrosion penetration in the first 25 hr of aging time. The microstructure observation results show that dislocations introduced by CA provide favorable nucleation sites for T1 precipitates in the grain and impede the growth of T1 precipitates at grain boundary. Therefore, the potential difference between the grain interior and grain boundary can be reduced compared to that for the SFA. The mechanism by which CA affects the corrosion resistance of Al–Cu–Li alloys, as is essential to understand and optimize the creep aging process, has been proposed by considering the effect of creep-deformation-induced dislocations.     

Al-CuO系SHS反应火焰喷涂涂层及副产物的形成与转变

采用SHS反应火焰喷涂工艺,在钢基体表面制备了以Al2O3-AlxCuy为主相的复相涂层。通过水淬熄实验,结合SEM和XRD等金相、结构分析测试手段,研究了Al-CuO系反应火焰喷涂过程中,Al-CuO团聚粉粒子的熔化、反应行为及涂层形成过程,阐明了涂层中副产物Cu9Al4和Al2Cu3金属间化合物的形成机理。研究表明:在60mm至150mm的飞行距离当中,CuO受热分解,生成Cu2O、Cu并释放出氧气,至150mm处分解完毕。粒子飞行过程中少量Al与分解产生的Cu2O反应生成少量Al2O3陶瓷相并还原出金属Cu。分解产生及被还原出的Cu与Al在液态下互溶形成合金溶液。喷涂粒子在喷距180mm时撞击基体后,Cu2O与Al充分反应,生成大量Al2O3陶瓷相并还原出金属Cu,其中Cu被液相Al-Cu合金吞并。喷涂后期SHS体系温度下降的过程中,开始发生自蔓延体系的结构转变,Al-Cu合金熔液经复杂的共晶、共析等反应,生成Cu9Al4和Al2Cu3金属间化合物。     

Effect of grain and secondary phase morphologies in the mechanical and damping behavior of Al7075 alloys

The present study evaluates the role of the microstructure in the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of as-cast Al7075 alloy promoted by ultrasonic treatment (US) during solidification. The characterization of samples revealed that US treatment promoted grain and intermetallics refinement, changed the shape of the intermetallic phases (equilibrium phases of soluble M and/or T (Al, Cu, Mg, Zn) and their insoluble Al-Cu-Fe compounds) and lead to their uniform distribution along the grain boundaries. Consequently, the mechanical properties and damping capacity above critical strain values were enhanced by comparison with values obtained for castings produced without US vibration. This results suggest that the grain and secondary phases refinement by US can be a promising solution to process materials to obtain high damping and high strength characteristics.     

The stress corrosion cracking behaviour of heat‐treated Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy in modified salt spray fog testing

The stress corrosion cracking behaviour of 7075 (Al–Zn–Mg–Cu) alloy have been studied in a salt spray fog chamber with two vapourised aqueous solutions (0 and 5% NaCl). The paper analyses the stress corrosion resistance of 7075 aluminium alloy with several precipitation‐ageing heat treatments. The results are compared with that obtained in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution at 20 °C. The salt spray fog testing has permitted a good evaluation of SCC susceptibility in 7075 alloy. All temper conditions studied were susceptible to SCC in the different environments tested. 7075‐T6 temper was the most susceptible, while in all the cases studied 7075‐T73 temper was the least susceptible. Compared to 7075‐T6, 7075‐RRA temper improved the resistance against the SCC process, but the mechanical properties obtained were lower.     

Effects of titanium addition on structural,mechanical, tribological,and corrosion properties of Al−25Zn−3Cu and Al−25Zn−3Cu−3Si alloys

To investigate the effect of grain refinement on the material properties of recently developed Al−25Zn−3Cu based alloys, Al−25Zn−3Cu, Al−25Zn−3Cu−0.01Ti, Al−25Zn−3Cu−3Si and Al−25Zn−3Cu−3Si−0.01Ti alloys were produced by permanent mold casting method. Microstructures of the alloys were examined by SEM. Hardness and mechanical properties of the alloys were determined by Brinell method and tensile tests, respectively. Tribological characteristics of the alloys were investigated by a ball-on-disc type test machine. Corrosion properties of the alloys were examined by an electrochemical corrosion experimental setup. It was observed that microstructure of the ternary A1−25Zn−3Cu alloy consisted of α, α+η and θ (Al₂Cu) phases. It was also observed that the addition of 3 wt.% Si to A1−25Zn−3Cu alloy resulted in the formation of silicon particles in its microstructure. The addition of 0.01 wt.% Ti to the Al−25Zn−3Cu and Al−25Zn−3Cu−3Si alloys caused a decrement in grain size by approximately 20% and 39% and an increment in hardness from HRB 130 to 137 and from HRB 141 to 156, respectively. Yield strengths of these alloys increased from 278 to 297 MPa and from 320 to 336 MPa while their tensile strengths increased from 317 to 340 MPa and from 334 to 352 MPa. Wear resistance of the alloys increased, but corrosion resistance decreased with titanium addition.

Enhanced Strength and Corrosion Resistance of Mg–2Zn–0.6Zr Alloy with Extrusion

The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Mg–2 Zn–0.6 Zr alloy under the as-cast and asextruded conditions were investigated. Microstructure analysis indicated the remarkable grain refinement by extrusion, as well as notable reductions in volume fraction and size of precipitate phases. As compared with the as-cast alloy, the asextruded alloy exhibited better mechanical performance, especially in yield strength which was promoted from 51 to 194 MPa. Refined grains, dispersive precipitate phases and texture were thought to be the main factors affecting the improved performance in strength. The electrochemical measurement and immersion test revealed the corrosion rate of Mg–2 Zn–0.6 Zr alloy by extrusion decreased from 1.68 to 0.32 mm/year. The reasons for the enhanced corrosion resistance were mainly attributed to the decreased volume fraction and Volta potential of the precipitate phases, the refinement of the grain size, as well as the formation of more protective corrosion film.

Effects of Sn and Ca additions on microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion resistance of the as‐cast Mg‐Zn‐Al‐based alloy

Effects of Sn and Ca additions on microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the as‐cast Mg‐6Zn‐2Al‐based alloy were investigated by SEM, XRD, tensile tests, electrochemical measurements, etc. The higher the Sn content, the higher the yield strength of the Mg‐6Zn‐2Al‐based alloy. Trace Ca addition refined both grains and divorced eutectics in the Mg‐Zn‐Sn‐Al alloys, leading to the best combination of strength and plasticity. Moreover, its influence was more significant for the alloy with a higher Sn content. Furthermore, the combined addition had a beneficial effect on the corrosion resistance improvement of the Mg‐6Zn‐2Al alloy. The Mg‐6Zn‐2Al‐3Sn‐0.2Ca alloy was the most corrosion‐resistant alloy among the nine alloys studied, better than AZ91 and ZA85. It could be ascribed to the decrease and the refinement of divorced eutectics, the higher hydrogen overvoltage of Sn and the Ca grain refinement.     

Fatigue strength and microstructure evaluation of Al 7050 alloy wires recycled by spray forming,extrusion and rotary swaging

Recycled high-strength aluminum alloys have limited use as structural materials due to poor mechanical properties. Spray forming remelting followed by hot extrusion is a promising route for reprocessing 7xxx alloys. The 7050 alloy machining chips were spray formed, hot extruded, rotary swaged and heat-treated in order to improve mechanical properties. Microstructures, tensile properties and fatigue strength results for a 2.7 mm-diameter recycled wire are presented. Secondary phases and precipitates were investigated by XRD, SEM, EBSD, TEM and DSC. As-swaged and heat-treated (solution and aging) conditions were evaluated. Mechanical properties of both conditions outperformed AA7050 aerospace specification. Substantial grain refinement resulted from the extensive plastic deformation imposed by rotary swaging. Refined micrometric and sub-micrometric Al grains, as well as coarse and fine intermetallic precipitates were observed. Subsequent solution treatment resulted in a homogeneous, recrystallized and equiaxed microstructure with grain size of 9 μm. Nanoscale GP(I) zones and η′ phase precipitates formed after aging at 120 °C, imparting higher tensile (586 MPa) and fatigue (198 MPa) strengths.     

轧制变形量对Zn-3Cu合金显微组织、力学和耐腐蚀性能的影响

本文以Zn-3Cu合金为研究对象。研究了轧制变形量对Zn-3Cu合金的显微组织、力学性能和耐腐蚀性能的影响。研究结果表明,随着轧制变形量的增加,Zn-3Cu合金基体晶粒细化程度不断加深,合金中的CuZn5相沿着轧制方向不断被拉长并出现部分断裂。Zn-3Cu合金的强度先增后减,塑性不断增强,60%变形量的Zn-3Cu合金具有最高的屈服强度,达到了263.1 ± 4.9 MPa。 随着变形量增加,轧态Zn-3Cu合金的耐腐蚀性能逐渐减弱,铸态Zn-3Cu合金表现优异的耐腐蚀性能。     

挤压铸造Al-Cu-Mn和Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金耐腐蚀性能研究

采用酸性盐雾试验,对Al-4.5Cu-0.8Mn和Al-7.3Zn-2.9Mg-1.9Cu 2种挤压铸造合金的耐腐蚀性能进行了对比研究.结果表明,在盐雾腐蚀过程中,随着腐蚀时间的延长和压力的增大,两种合金的耐腐蚀性能都出现了一定程度的下降.前者的腐蚀是由分布于枝晶间和晶界处的T(Al12CuMn2)和θ(Al2Cu)相溶解引起的,后者的腐蚀是由合金中η相的优先溶解,以及沿晶界分布的S相边沿的(Al)基体溶解所致;前者的耐腐蚀性能明显优于后者.     

Investigation of corrosion behavior of Mg-steel laser-TIG hybrid lap joints

The paper investigates the corrosion behavior of the lap joint of AZ31 magnesium alloy to Q235 steel with salt solution immersion testing and electrochemical testing. It is demonstrated that grain refinement resulting from the welding process has little effect on the corrosion behavior of the lap joint. However, the cathodic phases formed in the welding process and the galvanic corrosion between magnesium alloy and steel decrease the corrosion resistance of the joint greatly. Besides, neither Cu nor Ni, as filler material, could improve the corrosion resistance of the joint, but the arc-sprayed Al coating acting as a protective layer could.

Nd对Zr基非晶合金形成能力、热稳定性及耐腐蚀性的影响

利用铜模吸铸法在水冷坩埚中制备了4种(Zr0.55Al0.1Ni0.05Cu0.3)100-xNdx(x=0,1,2,3)块体非晶合金。采用XRD和DSC检测了所获合金相组成、非晶形成能力及热稳定性,并采用盐酸溶液浸泡腐蚀试验评价了不同合金的腐蚀速率。结果表明,适量添加Nd可提高Zr0.55Al0.1Ni0.05Cu0.3非晶合金的形成能力和热稳定性,但非晶合金在2mol/L HCl溶液中的耐蚀性随Nd含量的增加而降低。该结果对进一步改善和提高非晶合金的性能具有重要的参考价值。     

热挤压成形GH3625合金管材组织及裂纹形成机理

通过对比热挤压成形管材和爆裂管材的组织以及对爆裂管材裂纹和断口的分析,研究了热挤压成形GH3625合金管材的组织及裂纹形成机理。结果表明:爆裂管材与成形管材的组织均为等轴晶,但爆裂管材的开裂使晶界处的应力集中得以释放,其组织中并没有形成变形孪晶,在管材径向方向上也不存在晶粒尺寸不均匀的现象。挤压比过高导致管材在热挤压过程中绝热升温严重,使低熔点的Laves相熔化并扩散到周围基体中,是裂纹形成的根本原因。在模具出口处高拉应力的作用下,这些裂纹不断扩展最终连接在一起,导致管材的爆裂现象。由于断口表面冷却速率较高,组织通过奥氏体区的时间较短,再结晶形核核心多且晶粒长大过程受阻,使断口表面形成了一层十分细小的再结晶晶粒。
