Corrosion Behavior and Protection Efficiency of 2024Al and SiCp／2024Al Metal Matrix Composite

The corrosion resistance of 2024 Al and SiC particle reinforced 2024 Al metal matrix composite(SiCp/2024Al MMC) in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated with electrochemical method and immersion test, and the corrosion protection of sulfuric acid anodized coatings on both materials was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The results showed that the SiCp/2024AlMMC is more susceptible to corrosion than its matrix alloy in 3.5% NaCl.For 2024Al,the anodized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance to 3.5%NaCl.The anodized coating on the SiCp/2024Al provides satisfactory corrosion protection,but it is not as effective as that for 2024Al because the structure of the anodized layer is affected by the SiC particulates.     

Anisotropic ductile fracture of Al 2024 alloys

The anisotropic fracture of the 2024-T351 aluminium alloy is investigated using a micromechanics-based damage model accounting for the effect of the void aspect ratio and void distribution. The 2024-T351 Al alloy contains precipitation free bands in which most void nucleating particles are located. The presence of these bands, which are parallel to the rolling direction, primarily controls the distribution of damage and overall fracture anisotropy. The primary void nucleating particles also present a preferential elongation in the rolling direction. These key microstructural features have been determined using quantitative characterisation methods. The effects of void shape and void spacing on the fracture behaviour are elucidated by means of FE cell calculations. FE simulations of cylindrical notched round bars loaded in different orientations are made and compared with experimental data, allowing a better understanding of the damage process as well as the limitations of the modelling approach.     

Microstructure evolution of SIMA processed Al2024

In this paper, the strain induced melt activated (SIMA) process of A2024 was investigated systematically in order to provide a basis for semi-solid forming of the alloy. To delete the hydrostatic component of stress, the uniform uniaxial compression process is performed. The relation between the grain size and strain before heating is presented and a microstructure evolution model for SIMA is proposed on the basis of experiment. There include two steps in SIMA process. In the first step of plastic deformation, there are two mechanisms to control the deformation, slip or cross-slip or twinning in grain and grain rotation. The deviatory stress will benefit to slip or cross-slip or twinning in grains, and the hydrostatic stress will benefit to rotation of gain. In the second step of heating, the grain boundary will melt first and the shape of the grains will be globe.     

Aging behavior of a 2024 Al alloy-SiCp composite

In the present research work the 2024 aluminum alloy was reinforced with SiC particles via powder metallurgy method. The effect of heat treatment conditions on artificial aging kinetics was investigated. The solution treatment of the composite sample and the unreinforced alloy was carried out at 495 °C for 1, 2 and 3 h followed by aging at 191 °C for various aging times between 1 and 10 h. The existence of SiC particles led to increasing the peak hardness of the alloy. The peak hardness of the composite sample took place at shorter times than that of the unreinforced alloy for the samples solution treated for 2 and 3 h, but took place at longer times for the samples solution treated for 1 h. The suitable solution treating time was about 2 h for both the composite and the unreinforced alloy that led to the fastest aging kinetics and the maximum hardness. At the solution treating time shorter than 2 h due to incomplete dissolution of precipitates, the aging kinetics decelerated and the hardness values decreased. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the presence of precipitation phases such as CuAl₂ and CuMgAl₂ in the composite in both as-extruded and solutionized conditions. For the samples solution treated more than 2 h, hardness values decreased due to the grain growth of matrix but no change occurred in the aging kinetics.     

WCp/2024Al复合材料的热变形行为

WCp/2024Al复合材料是一种具有良好力学性能和辐射屏蔽性能的新型铝基复合材料。目前缺乏对其进行塑性加工的研究,因此采用热模拟实验机研究了WCp/2024Al复合材料在623K~773K,应变速率为0.01、0.1和1s-1下的热变形行为。结果显示,复合材料的流变应力随变形温度的升高、应变速率的降低而降低。在较高的应变速率下复合材料的变形机制为动态回复,而在较低的应变速率下为动态再结晶和动态回复。采用Power-Arrhenius型速率方程计算了复合材料的应变速率敏感系数m和热变形激活能Q。结果显示随着温度的升高,复合材料的m值升高而Q值降低,说明升高温度有利于复合材料的高温塑性变形。     

Material flow during friction stir spot welding of dissimilar Al2024/Al materials

Chemical stability of carbon nanotubes in the 2024Al matrix

Five volume percent of carbon nanotubes and 2024Al alloy powder were mixed with ball milling method, and then the composite was fabricated at 873 K by hot pressing sintering technique. The microstructure of the composite was investigated using optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results showed that carbon nanotubes are reacted and changed into Al₄C₃. Nano-Al₄C₃ phases with needle shape are distributed mainly on Al grain boundaries; meanwhile some of them exist within Al grains. The reaction mechanism of carbon nanotubes-Al is discussed.     

Pitting behavior of SiCp/2024 Al metal matrix composites

The effects of the volume fraction of SiC particulate reinforcements and the concentration of chloride ions in solution on the localized corrosion characteristics of SiCp/2024 Al metal matrix composites (MMC) were investigated. A scanning micro reference electrode (SMRE) technique was employed to study the dynamic process of pitting initiation and development on the surface of the composites at open-circuit potential. Potentiodynamic polarizations were performed to characterize the electrochemical behavior of the MMCs. The morphology of the localized attack on the MMC sample after corrosion tests were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of electrochemical measurement showed that the composites were less resistant to pit initiation than the corresponding unreinforced metrix alloy. Increase in the volume fraction of SiCp reinforcement in the SiCp/2024 Al composites resulted in a significant decrease of pitting potential. In situ potential mapping of active centers on the surfaces of the composites revealed that local breakdown of passivity and initiation of micro pitting corrosion could take place even at an open-circuit potential which was more negative than the pitting potential, and the number of active centers on the surfaces of the composites increased as the volume fraction of SiC particulates in MMCs increased. Micro-structural analysis indicated that pitting attack on the composites mainly occurred at SiCp-Al interfaces or inclusions-Al interfaces.
