Investigation of precipitation behavior and related hardening in AA 7055 aluminum alloy 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The precipitation behavior and related hardening in AA 7055 aluminum alloy aged at 120 and 160 °C was investigated in detail. GPI zones were the dominant phase in the alloy upon ageing at 120 °C for 60 min. The metastable η′ phase begins to precipitate in the alloy after being aged at 120 °C for 60 min, and turns to be the main phase after ageing for 300 min. When the alloy was aged at 160 °C, the precipitation was significantly promoted. The results also revealed that the transformation of small GPI zone to η′ phase is the dominant mechanism for η′ formation. Formation and growth of GPI zones and η′ phases led to the increase of the yield strength, while formation and coarsening of η resulted in the decrease of the strength. η′ is responsible for the peak hardening of this alloy. 相似文献

During hot compression, Mg17Al12 (β) precipitates show strong influence on the microstructural changes of 415 °C-24 h homogenized AZ91 alloy. When compressed at 300 °C and 350 °C, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) only occurs near grain boundaries with discontinuous β precipitate pinning at the newly DRXed grain boundaries. With increasing compression temperature and decreasing strain rate, the β-precipitating region expands; however, the amount of pinning precipitates decreases, resulting in increases in the DRX ratio and average DRXed grain size. With a compression ratio of only 50%, the specimen compressed at 350 °C and a strain rate of 0.2 s−1 (designated 350 °C-0.2 s−1 compressed specimen) shows an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 334 MPa, a 0.2% proof stress (PS) of 195 MPa and an enough elongation of 17.9%. After a subsequent aging treatment at 180 °C, due to the large number of β precipitates, the strength of the compressed specimens are further improved, and the specimen peak aged after compression at 400 °C and 0.2 s−1 shows UTS of 364 MPa and PS of 248 MPa with a moderate elongation of 7.7%. 相似文献

Influence of retrogression temperature and time on the mechanical properties and exfoliation corrosion behavior of aluminium alloy AA7150 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The tensile properties, exfoliation corrosion behavior and microstructures of the retrogression and re-aging (RRA) treated aluminum (Al) alloy AA7150 were studied. AA7150 was retrogressed at different temperatures (175 °C, 185 °C and 195 °C) for various times. It is found that as the hardness of the retrogressed AA7150 approaches the near-peak condition, the corresponding RRA treated AA7150 possesses good exfoliation corrosion resistance without strength loss. By retrogressing at 175 °C, the retrogression time can be extended to 3 h, the RRA treated AA7150 possesses a strength as high as that of conventional AA7150-T6, and its exfoliation corrosion resistance is in the vicinity to that of AA7150-T73. This enhanced exfoliation corrosion resistance was associated with the more separated η precipitates at the grain boundary. AA7150-T6 is mainly strengthened by fine GP zones with high number density, while the intra-grain micro-structure of AA7150-RRA retrogressed at 175 °C for 3 h is characterized by relatively coarse η′ precipitates. 相似文献

Al–Sc and Al–Sc–Zr alloys containing 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 wt.% Sc and 0.15 wt.% Zr were investigated using optical microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The phase composition of the alloys and the morphology of precipitates that developed during solidification in the sand casting process and subsequent thermal treatment of the samples were studied. XRD analysis shows that the weight percentage of the Al3Sc/Al3(Sc, Zr) precipitates was significantly below 1% in all alloys except for the virgin Al0.5Sc0.15Zr alloy. In this alloy the precipitates were observed as primary dendritic particles. In the binary Al–Sc alloys, ageing at 470 °C for 24 h produced precipitates associated with dislocation networks, whereas the precipitates in the annealed Al–Sc–Zr alloys were free of interfacial dislocations except at the lowest content of Sc. Development of large incoherent precipitates during precipitation heat treatment reduced hardness of all the alloys studied. Growth of the Al3Sc/Al3(Sc, Zr) precipitates after heat treatment was less at low Sc content and in the presence of Zr. Increase in hardness was observed after heat treatment at 300 °C in all alloys. There is a small difference in hardness between binary and ternary alloys slow cooled after sand casting. 相似文献

The microstructural evolution and attendant strengthening mechanisms in two biocompatible alloy systems, the binary Ti-15Mo and the quaternary Ti-13Mo-7Zr-3Fe (TMZF), have been compared and contrasted in this paper. In the homogenized condition, while the Ti-15Mo alloy exhibited a single phase microstructure consisting of large β grains, the TMZF alloy exhibited a microstructure consisting primarily of a β matrix with grain boundary α precipitates and a low volume fraction of intra-granular α precipitates. On ageing the homogenized alloys at 600 ∘C for 4 h, both alloys exhibited the precipitation of refined scale secondary α precipitates homogeneously in the β matrix. However, while the hardness of the TMZF alloy marginally increased, that of the Ti-15Mo alloy decreased substantially as a result of the ageing treatment. In order to understand this difference in the mechanical properties after ageing, TEM studies have been carried out on both alloys in the homogenized and homogenized plus aged conditions. The results indicate that the ω precipitates dissolve on ageing in case of the Ti-15Mo alloy, consequently leading to a substantial decrease in the hardness. In contrast, the ω precipitates do not dissolve on ageing in the TMZF alloy and the precipitation of the fine scale secondary α leads to increased hardness. 相似文献

An ultrafine-grained (UFG) Mg–5.12 wt.% Zn–0.32 wt.% Ca alloy with an average grain size of 0.7 μm was produced by subjecting the as-extruded alloy to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for 4 passes at 250 °C. The fine secondary phase restricted the dynamic recrystallized (DRXed) grain growth during the ECAP processing, resulting in a remarkable grain refinement. A new texture was formed in the ECAPed Mg alloy with the {0 0 0 2} plane inclined at an angle of 58° relative to the extrusion direction. The yield stress (YS) was decreased in the as-ECAPed alloy with finer grains, indicating that the texture softening effect was dominant over the strengthening from grain refinement. The ductility of the as-ECAPed alloy was increased to 18.2%. The grain refinement caused an obvious decrease in work hardening rate in the as-ECAPed alloy during tensile deformation at room temperature. 相似文献

The Mg–8Gd–2Y–1Nd–0.3Zn–0.6Zr (wt.%) alloy sheet was prepared by hot extrusion technique, and the structure and mechanical properties of the extruded alloy were investigated. The results show that the alloy in different states is mainly composed of α-Mg solid solution and secondary phases of Mg5RE and Mg24RE5 (RE = Gd, Y and Nd). At aging temperatures from 200 °C to 300 °C the alloy exhibits obvious age-hardening response. Great improvement of mechanical properties is observed in the peak-aged state alloy (aged at 200 °C for 60 h), the ultimate tensile strength (σb), tensile yield strength (σ0.2) and elongation () are 376 MPa, 270 MPa and 14.2% at room temperature (RT), and 206 MPa, 153 MPa and 25.4% at 300 °C, respectively, the alloy exhibits high thermal stability. 相似文献

Effect of compressive stress aging on transformation strain and microstructure of Ni-rich TiNi alloy
Jin-Feng Li Zi-Qiao Zheng Xi-Wu Li Shi-Chen Li 《Materials Science and Engineering: A》2009,523(1-2):207-213
The Ti–50.7%Ni (atom fraction) alloy rods were compressive stress aged at 400 °C, 450 °C and 500 °C for different time, their strain behaviors accompanied by temperature elevation were investigated, and their microstructures were observed. It is found that the compressive stress aged TiNi alloy rod displays an obvious contractive strain behavior in the stress direction as the temperature is elevated from approximately 55–75 °C. Compressive stress causes the parallel alignment of the aging precipitate Ti3Ni4 in the TiNi alloy, which controls the martensitic transformation (B19′ transformation) and its reverse transformation, leading to its contractive strain behavior accompanied by temperature elevation. The contractive strain of the TiNi alloy compressive stress aged at 400 °C for 100 h is increased with increasing compressive stress up to 140 MPa. Higher aging temperature and longer aging time lead to the coarsening of the precipitates and the enlarging of the inter-precipitate spacing, and therefore result in a decrease in the contractive strain. 相似文献

Heat treatment at intermediate temperatures (70–100 °C) doubles the age hardening response of the binary Mg–2.8 at.% Zn alloy when compared to the conventional T6 heat treatment and ambient temperature ageing. The maximal hardening produced at 70 °C is associated with the highest number density of the homogeneously distributed precipitates. At least six different types of coherent and semicoherent precipitates were simultaneously present in the microstructure aged at 70 °C: [0 0 01]Mg rods and laths, Guinier Preston (GP) zones, GP1 zones {0 0 0 1}Mg plates and prismatic precipitates containing 19–26 at.% Zn. Artificially aged alloy is strengthened mainly by sparsely distributed and precipitates and occasional GP zones. Strengthening in the naturally aged condition is produced by the combination of GP1 zones, prismatic precipitates and clusters containing about 20 Zn atoms. 相似文献

The wear behavior of Ti–50.3 at% Ni alloy in martensitic and austenitic states was studied. The alloy was prepared in a Vacuum Induction Melting furnace, forged at 800 °C, annealed at 1000 °C for 12 h, quenched in water, then aged at 400 °C for 1 h and followed by water quenching. The phase transformation temperatures were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The shape memory and pseudoelasticity properties of NiTi were obtained by three-point bending test. The highest deflection recovery due to the pseudoelasticity was observed at temperature of 50 °C. The wear tests were conducted using a pin-on-disk tribometer in a water media at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 50 °C. The results showed that the wear rate of NiTi alloy was decreased as the wear testing temperature increased. This was mainly attributed to the pseudoelasticity effect and higher strength of the alloy in the austenitic state at temperature of 50 °C. The results also showed a lower coefficient of friction in the austenitic state compared to the martensitic state. 相似文献

The effect of standard heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni–Fe base super-alloy, Inconel 718 was studied by optical microscopy and ball indentation technique (BIT) using small amount of specimen. In order to get good ductility, good formability, yield, tensile and creep rupture, as-received material was given the standard heat treatment, viz solution treatment at two temperatures 940 °C and 1040 °C for1 h and water quenched (WQ) followed by aging treatment at 720 °C for 8 h. and furnace cooling (FC). The BIT has revealed that the strengths for as-received material are maximum compared to other heat-treated materials. After solution treatment there has been a radical decline in strength. But the ageing causes a significant enhancement of strength. Optical microscopy studies supported the obtained BIT results. γ″-phase is the basic strengthening phase in 718 alloys. 相似文献

Microstructural characterization of α1-plate and γ2 phase precipitated in hypoeutectoid Cu–10 wt.%Al–0.8 wt.%Be shape-memory alloy (SMA) aged at 200 °C for different periods of time (20–160 h) is researched in this study. High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) was employed to investigate the α1-plate with 18R long period stacking order structure (LPSO) in the SMA aged for 20 h. According to the atomic shuffling revealed in HRTEM-micrograph, the atomic model of the 18R LPSO is proposed. The quantitative mapping of electron energy loss spectrometry shows that the α1-plates in the SMA aged for 160 h contain lower aluminum concentration than the parent phase matrix. The lattice image of the nanometer-sized γ2 phase precipitated homogeneously in the SMA aged for 160 h is also revealed by using HRTEM. Precipitation of the nanometer-sized γ2 phase cannot be impeded by means of the addition of beryllium and quenching, and such precipitate does not grow up in the SMA aged for periods of time less than 160 h. 相似文献

Nickel-base super-alloys consist of two phases named γ-phase of nickel matrix and γ′-phase of precipitates, which are dispersed uniformly in the matrix. The morphologies and sizes of γ′ precipitates have strong effects on the creep properties of the alloys. At the middle temperature (850 °C), the rafting effect of the precipitate is not obvious, and the size effects of precipitates are dominant. In this paper, a crystal plasticity constitutive model is developed, which considers damage and strain gradient to reflect the size effect of the creep property. This model is implemented into ABAQUS as an interface of user material (UMAT). Two different precipitate sizes are studied using a unit-cell model of alloys with the same volume fraction. By Comparison with the experiment data, the simulation results are reasonable to demonstrate the significant size effect of precipitates on the creep properties of nickel-base super-alloys, which indicates that the creep rates are lower and the rupture lives are longer when the precipitate sizes are smaller with constant fraction. 相似文献

This work investigated the effect of nominal boron additions of 0.1 and 1.0 wt.% on the elevated-temperature (455 °C) fatigue deformation behavior of Ti–6Al–4V(wt.%) castings for maximum applied stresses between 250 and 450 MPa (R = 0.1 and 5 Hz). Boron additions resulted in a dramatic refinement of the as-cast grain size, and larger boron additions resulted in larger titanium-boride (TiB) phase volume percents. The boron-containing alloys exhibited longer average fatigue lives than those for Ti–6Al–4V, which was suggested to be related to the reduced as-cast grain size and the addition of strong and stiff TiB phase. The Ti–6Al–4V–0.1B alloy exhibited the longest average fatigue lives. The TiB phase cracked during the fatigue experiments and this resulted in a decreasing Young's modulus with increased cycle number. Each alloy exhibited α-phase cracking and environmentally assisted surface edge cracking. 相似文献

Effect of deep cryogenic treatment on microstructure, creep and wear behaviors of AZ91 magnesium alloy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

This paper focuses on the effect of deep cryogenic treatment (−196 °C) on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The execution of deep cryogenic treatment on samples changed the distribution of β precipitates. The tiny laminar β particles almost dissolved in the microstructure and the coarse divorced eutectic β phase penetrated into the matrix. This microstructural modification resulted in a significant improvement on mechanical properties of the alloy. The steady state creep rates were measured and it was found that the creep behavior of the alloy, which is dependent on the stability of the near grain boundary microstructure, was improved by the deep cryogenic treatment. For the AZ91 alloy, the results indicate a mixed mode of creep behavior, with some grain boundary effects contributing to the overall behavior. However for the deep cryogenic samples dislocation climb controlled creep is the dominant deformation mechanism. After the deep cryogenic treatment the sliding of grain boundaries was greatly suppressed due to morphological changes. As a result, the grain boundaries are less susceptible for grain boundary sliding at high temperatures. Dry sliding wear tests were also applied and the wear resistance of the alloy improved remarkably after deep cryogenic treatment. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline iron–chromium alloys may provide considerable corrosion resistance, even at low chromium contents. However, processing of such alloys could be a challenge. This paper describes successful synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe–10%Cr alloy by ball-milling route. In the absence of suitable hot compaction facility, the alloy powder could be successfully compacted close to the desired density, by employing a step of prior annealing of the powder. Grain growth behaviour of Fe–10%Cr nanocrystalline alloy was investigated at 500, 600 and 700 °C. At 500 °C, no appreciable grain growth was observed, after the initial grain growth. However, sudden and rapid grain growth was observed after 90 min at 600 °C, and 30 min at 700 °C. 相似文献

Micro-grained γ-TiAl based alloy obtained via pulse current auxiliary sintering exhibits good room temperature ductility with the common influence of fine grain size and inner twinning microstructure. Superplastic behavior at relatively low temperatures is also observed. It is also noted that the tensile strength of the studied alloy manifests anomalous hardening from room temperature to approximately 600 °C as a result of the controlling of dislocations slip, and softening above 600 °C due to thermal activation. Based on calculation, the superplastic deformation mechanism in the present work is determined as the grain boundary sliding accommodated by grain boundary diffusion. 相似文献

Partially alloyed filler metals in the form of powders and laminated foils were used for the brazing of Ti and Ti alloys to lower the manufacturing cost. In this study, by using a raw elemental powder mixture, a multi-component filler sheet with a nominal composition of 37.5Ti–37.5Zr–15Cu–10Ni was fabricated using a Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) machine in the temperature range from 650 °C to 785 °C for 1 min. As the sintering temperature was increased from 650 °C to 750 °C, the bending strength of the sheets tended to rise, but the bending strength at 785 °C was drastically reduced. The melting range of the sheets became similar to that of the as-cast alloy. The sheets sintered at 750 °C showed the highest bending strength of 259 MPa, which was much higher than that of the as-cast material, and the melting range of this sheet was from 800 °C to 852 °C. The relatively high strength of the sheet was due to the remaining elemental powders such as Ti or Zr, but the brittle intermetallics, such as Ti2Cu and (Ti,Zr)2Ni Laves phases, formed in the sheet during the sintering process deteriorated its mechanical strength. The partially developed eutectic phase between the remaining Ti or Zr powder caused the sheet to exhibit melting behavior similar to that of the as-cast alloy. The brazability of the sheet sintered at 750 °C was examined with commercially pure Ti at 870 °C for 5–60 min. The tensile strength of the Ti joint brazed for 30 min was 431 MPa, which was close to that of the base metal. 相似文献

The ordered L12 precipitate coarsening kinetics without the influence of an external stress were studied in a Ni-Al(13.5 at%) alloy at 1413 K and a Ni-Al(13.8 at%)-Mo(5.9 at%) alloy at 1443 K. The Ni-Al-Mo alloy has a lattice mismatch of about –0.3% at the ageing temperature while the Ni-Al has a positive lattice mismatch of about 0.25% at the ageing temperature. For both alloys, the precipitates were initially cuboidal. After ageing for 3–10 min, the precipitates in the Ni-Al-Mo alloy split mostly into two parallel plates (doublets) or eight sub-cubes (octets), but the initial cuboidal precipitates in the Ni-Al alloy only showed the tendency to split into doublets. After further ageing, the precipitates in both alloys eventually aligned and agglomerated into groups consisting of many particles separated by a small distance of 30 nm, and the distribution of the precipitates became inhomogeneous. There was no linear relationship between the cube of the average precipitate size and the ageing time as predicted by the classical Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory. Instead, a retardation of the coarsening process is found. 相似文献

The effects of applying different solution and ageing conditions on the electrical resistivity and precipitation behaviour of a Cu-1.3Ni-0.3Si-0.03P (wt%) alloy were studied. The electrical resistivity of solution-treated material is greatly reduced, by about 50%, by the ageing processes. The reduction in resistivity is due to depletion of solute atoms from the copper matrix by the formation of precipitates. Double ageing peaks appeared during isothermal ageing due to the formation of Ni3P and Ni2Si precipitates. The first maximum, due to the precipitation of Ni3P, appeared at about 1 h of ageing time, while the second peak, due to Ni2Si, appeared at around 10 h of ageing time when aged at 450°C. The precipitate Ni3P forms early and the alloy starts to over-age before Ni2Si precipitates and the alloy reaches maximum hardness. The maximum hardness produced by the precipitations of Ni3P and Ni2Si decreased with increasing ageing temperature from 450 to 550°C. The time to reach the maximum hardness due to Ni3P precipitation became shorter, while that of Ni2Si became longer, as the solution treatment temperature increased from 780 to 1020° C. The apparent activation energy for Ni2Si precipitation was found to be about 80 kJ mol–1 while that for Ni3P precipitation was about 25 kJ mol–1. 相似文献
