High-strength products made from atomized Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Co alloy powders have good combinations of strength, ductility, resistance
to stress-corrosion cracking and fracture toughness. Powder Metallurgy (PJM) methods produce fine metallurgical structures
and compositions which cannot be produced by Ingot Metallurgy (IJM) methods.
Fine structures result from very rapid solidification and from the effect of fine dispersoids in restricting grain growth.
Stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) performance is favored by grain morphology of PJM products. Co2Al9 particles in PJM products are 0.02 to 2.0 μm spheroids occurring frequently on grain boundaries where they may serve several
functions in slowing SCC attack. Oxide particles are irregular shapes, 0.01 to 0.04 μm in size, occurring in clusters at grain
boundaries and in grain bodies. Some of the oxide particles are magnesium oxide and alter the environment in a SCC crack to
arrest attack. Porosity is not a significant factor in the structure of PJM products made by a vacuum compacting process.
P/M wrought products have superior combinations of high strength and stress-corrosion cracking resistance compared to IJM
7075 and 7050 alloys. While equaling the fracture toughness of 7075 alloy, the PJM products at present have somewhat lower
fracture toughness than 7050 alloy, due in part to a larger amount of second-phase particles in the form of Co2Al9 and oxide.

An investigation of the stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of three aluminum powder alloys, containing 0.0, 0.4, and
0.8 wt pct Co, using double cantilever beam specimens has shown a significant increase in SCC resistance with increasing Co
content. This resistance to cracking takes the form of both a decrease in plateau crack velocity and an increase in the threshold
stress intensity factor for cracking (K
ISCC
) as the Co content increases. The SCC fracture is intergranular and the crack path is tortuous because of the oxides and
Co2Al9 intermetallic particles contained within the powder metallurgy alloys. We propose that the improvements in SCC resistance
result from the Co2Al9 particles, which catalyze the recombination and evolution of hydrogen, thereby reducing hydrogen absorption and embrittlement.

The environmental response of commercially produced high-strength Al alloys, such as 7075, depends strongly on the anisotropy
of the grain structure. Minimum resistance to both stresscorrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement is observed in
the short transverse direction of the “pancake” grain structure in commercially produced alloys. It has not been established,
however, exactly how the morphology of the grain structure mediates the SCC response or the SCC mechanism. Therefore, stress-corrosion
testing of a high-purity 7075 Al alloy (low in Fe, Si, and Cr), having equiaxed grains, under tension (mode I) and torsion
(mode III) loading in a solution of IN A1C13 has been performed. The SCC results in the two loading modes, including fractography, appeared to suggest that the predominant
processes of SCC were hydrogen embrittlement in mode I and anodic dissolution in mode III, in agreement with prior work on
a commercially produced 7075 alloy, but that severe corrosion during longer tests renders those results unsuitable for threshold
determination in this very aggressive testing environment.

Aging kinetics of aluminum alloy 7050 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J. T. Staley 《Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B》1974,5(4):929-932
Precipitation hardening at room temperature (natural aging) and isothermal precipitation hardening at 422 to 455 K beyond
the point of peak strength (overaging) were studied. Natural aging kinetics of the increase in strength and resistivity were
comparable with those of alloy 7075. Alloy 7050, however, develops peak strength by aging at higher temperatures. This ability
of 7050 to develop peak strength upon aging in the temperature region used to improve the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking
and toughness of 7XXX alloys is attributed to the effect of Cu on increasing the temperature range of G.P zone stability. 相似文献

Two commercially-processed Al-6Zn-2Mg alloys, 7050 and a “low copper” 7050, were tested for susceptibility to embrittlement by precharged hydrogen and by simultaneous cathodic charging and straining (SET procedure). Specimens were heat treated to underaged, peak-strength aged, and overaged conditions. In 7050, the peak strength and overaged conditions were not embrittled by hydrogen, though underaged material showed marked embrittlement. All microstructures tested for the low-copper alloy were embrittled. The results agree with the microstructural rationale established through earlier work on 7075 and 2124 aluminum alloys, particularly with respect to the susceptibility of underaged material to hydrogen. As in earlier work, the extent of dislocation transport of hydrogen, and local hydrogen accumulation at grain boundaries, evidently controlled the extent and degree of brittle fracture. These three important alloys can now be ranked in the order 7050, 2124, 7075 of increasing relative susceptibility to theonset of stress corrosion cracking. 相似文献

A study has been made of the propagation of transgranular stress-corrosion cracks in a Mg-7.5 wt pct Al alloy tested at room
temperature in an aqueous NaCl-K2CrO4 solution; the studies were carried out on single cracks which initiated and propagated within single grains in coarse-grained
bend specimens. The resulting fracture surfaces were flat, and two-surface analysis established their orientation to be 31–40.
Specimens fractured at liquid-nitrogen temperature cleaved on 10•10, indicating that the 31•40 are not the normal cleavage
planes in this material. The stress-corrosion fracture surfaces were cleavage-like in appearance, containing shallow steps
which were matching and interlocking on opposite faces. Discrete acoustic signals were emitted during crack propagation, and
these are considered to result from discontinuous crack advance. It is concluded that stress-corrosion cracking in this system
occurs by discontinuous cleavage on (3140) planes.

Recent studies have revealed that the mechanism of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) of high-strength Al-Zn-Mg alloys involves both dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement (HE); moreover, under tensile-loading conditions, evidence exists that the hydrogen mechanism is dominant. In the present study, the role of HE in the SCC of Al-Mg alloys was investigated using commercial Al-4.4 wt pct Mg alloy, 5083. The susceptibility of this alloy to SCC in a saline environment was evaluated in Mode I (tension) and Mode III (torsion), using precracked fracture toughness specimens. The greater susceptibility found in Mode I indicates that HE is involved in SCC. As further evidence that HE is operating, susceptibility increased when As, a hydrogen recombination inhibitor, was added to the test solution under Mode I conditions. Issues related to the overall validity of the loading mode experiment are also addressed. 相似文献

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is affected by the mode of applied stress, i.e., tension, compression, or torsion. The cracking is measured in terms of initiation time to nucleate a crack or time to failure. In a simple uniaxial loading under tension or compression, it is observed that the initiation time can vary in orders of magnitude depending on the alloy and the environment. Fracture can be intergranular or transgranular or mixed mode. Factors that affect SCC are solubility of the metal into surrounding chemical solution, and diffusion rate (like hydrogen into a tensile region) of an aggressive element into the metal and liquid metallic elements in the grain boundaries. Strain hardening exponent that affects the local internal stresses and their gradients can affect the diffusion kinetics. We examine two environments (Ga and 3.5 pct NaCl) for the same alloy 7075-T651, under constant uniaxial tension and compression load. These two cases provide us application to two different governing mechanisms namely liquid metal embrittlement (7075-Ga) and hydrogen-assisted cracking (7075-NaCl). We note that, in spite of the differences in their mechanisms, both systems show similar behavior in the applied K vs crack initiation time plots. One common theme among them is the transport mechanism of a solute element to a tensile-stress region to initiate fracture. 相似文献

A multiple micromechanisms-based model is developed to quantitatively relate the fracture toughness of partially recrystallized
7XXX aluminum alloys to their fracture surface morphology. The model is verified using the experimental data on partially
recrystallized 7050 alloy reported in the companion article. It is then used to obtain a quantitative relationship between
the fracture toughness and microstructural attributes. The model relates fracture toughness to microstructural parameters
such as degree of recrystallization, grain size of recrystallized grains, thickness of recrystallized regions, total surface
area of the constituent particles per unit volume, and microstructural anisotropy. The model predicts the changes in the fracture
toughness with the specimen orientation. 相似文献

Retrogression and reaging and the role of dislocations in the stress corrosion of 7000-type aluminum alloys 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The 7000-type aluminum alloys in the T6 temper are known to be highly susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC). Some
years ago, a heat treatment known as retrogression and reaging (RR) was developed by one of the authors (B.C.), providing
for enhanced stress-corrosion resistance without any sacrifice of yield or tensile strength in 7075 aluminum alloy. The idea
behind the process was based on the suggestion that dislocations developed during quenching from the solution treatment were
responsible for susceptibility to stress corrosion. In spite of considerable practical development of the RR process, the
above basic hypothesis as to the role of dislocations has never been investigated. In the present work, the effect of the
RR treatments on the dislocation structure of 7000-type aluminum alloys was studied using transmission electron microscopy
(TEM). A clear relationship has been found between the presence of dislocations adjacent to grain boundaries and the susceptibility
to stress corrosion of 7000-type aluminum alloys. The beneficial effect of the RR treatment on the SCC of 7000-type aluminum
alloys in the T6 temper is believed to be due to the disappearance of the above dislocations as a result of RR treatment. 相似文献

Electron microscopy, fractography, and notched tear tests have been used to investigate the effects of heat treatment upon the fracture behavior of aged 7075 aluminum alloy sheet. Toughness, as measured by crack propagation energy, decreases as the yield stress increases; the toughness of an overaged structure is inferior to that of an underaged structure at the same yield stress. The decrease of toughness with increased aging time is accompanied by a change in fracture mode from predominantly transgranular to intergranular. Transgranular fracture proceeds by dimple rupture and is facilitated by chromium-rich particles which are dispersed throughout the microstructure. Intergranular fracture proceeds by the fracture of grain boundary precipitate particles. The variation of fracture mode with aging time is attributed to a steady decrease of the intergranular fracture stress relative to the transgranular fracture stress, due to increasing grain boundary particle size. A possible explanation of this effect is discussed using the stress concentration due to colinear crack arrays as an analogy. The effects of quenching variations and two-step aging are discussed. It is shown that, in aged 7075, microstructural variables such as the width of precipitate-free zones and the nature of the matrix precipitate do not have a controlling effect on toughness. 相似文献

The influence of strain-rate on the stress-corrosion cracking properties of wholly austenitic Type 304 base metal and duplex
austeno-ferritic Type 304 weld metal in boiling MgCl2 was investigated using constant extension rate tensile testing techniques. Transgranular SCC in both base and weld metals
is preferred at low strain-rates, while intergranular cracking in the base metal and interphase cracking along the austenite-ferrite
interface in the weld metal are preferred at higher strain-rates. Promotion of the intergranular stress-corrosion cracking
in the base metal and “interphase-interface” stresscorrosion cracking in the weld metal with increases in strain-rate may
be mechanistically analogous. Stress-induced alterations in the grain or interphase boundary defect structure may make these
regions preferentially susceptible to dissolution.

Underaged, peak strength (T6), and overaged (T73) microstructures were studied in 7075 plate material. Hydrogen charged and
uncharged tensile specimens of longitudinal orientation were tested between −196°C and room temperature. The results confirm
a hydrogen embrittlement effect, manifested mainly in the temperature dependence of the reduction of area loss; a classical
behavior of hydrogen embrittlement. The maximum embrittlement shifted to lower temperatures with further aging. The effect
of hydrogen was largest for the underaged condition and smallest for the overaged, thus following the pattern found for the
sensitivity to stress-corrosion cracking in high strength aluminum alloys. The fracture path was predominantly transgranular,
with minor amounts of intergranular fracture.

Metallurgical factors affecting fracture toughness of aluminum alloys 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Crack extension in commercial aluminum alloys proceeds by the “ductile” or fibrous mode. The process involves the large, ~1
μm to ~10μm, Fe-, Si-, and Cu-bearing inclusions which break easily, and the growth of voids at the cracked particles. The
linking-up of the voids is accomplished by the rupture of the intervening ligaments, and this is affected by the fine, ~0.01μm
precipitate particles that strengthen the matrix. The ~0.1μm Cr-, Mn-, and Zr-rich intermediate particles are more resistant
to cracking and may enter the process in the linking-up stage. The fracture toughness of aluminum alloys therefore depends
on a) the extent of the heavily strained region ahead of the crack tip, which is a function of the yield strength arad modulus,
b) the size of the ligaments which is related tof
c, the volume fraction of cracked particles, and c) the work of rupturing the ligaments. An approximate analysis predicts KIc varies asf
c-1/6, and this is in agreement with measurements on alloys with comparable yield strength levels. Studies in which the aging
conditions are altered for the samef
cshow that the toughness decreases with increasing yield strength level. This degradation in toughness is related to the localization
of plastic deformation. The tendency for localization is illustrated with the help of “plane strain” tension and bend specimens
whose behavior is related to the toughness. Measurements of the strain distribution on the microscale show that slip is relatively
uniformly distributed in a 7000-type alloy with low inclusion and particle content when the material is in the as-quenched
and overaged conditions. In contrast the distribution is highly nonuniform in the peak aged condition where slip is concentrated
in widely spaced superbands involving coarse slip bands with large offsets that crack prematurely. The connection between
the tendency for slip localization and the fine precipitate particles which strengthen the matrix remains to be established.
In overaged alloys grain boundary ruptures occur within the superbands. The amount of intergranular failure increases with
grain size and is accompanied by a loss of fracture toughness.

Lines of constant spacing are exhibited across the surfaces of fracture toughness specimens in an 18 Ni (200) maraging steel.
The wavelength associated with this periodic lineage decreases, however, with decreasing fracture toughness as the steel is
maraged for greater time to higher strength levels. The periodicity as well as the shape of the lines, which appear to trace
successive positions of an advancing crack front, suggests that the crack advances by a repetitive discontinuous unit process
such as postulated in the tensile ligament instability theory of fracture toughness. Calculations support interpretation of
the wavelength as the process zone size of that theory. The lineage is found in several different types of fracture toughness
specimens as well as in tensile specimens. Furthermore, such lineage has been detected for several alloys in addition to maraging
steel, and in certain cases for cracking modes other than fast fracture,e.g., stress-corrosion cracking. However, for all cases where the periodic lineage appears, microvoid coalescence is the mode
of ultimate separation. The lines are clearly distinguished from Wallner lines.

The effects of a number of elements (C, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni, Co, P, and S) on the stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance in
salt water of some quenched-and-tempered steels were investigated. Values of the threshold stress intensity for crack growth
in salt water (K
Iscc) were measured using the cantilever beam test and precracked specimens. Values of the fracture toughness parameterK
Ix (an approximation ofK
Ic) were also determined. The steels were either Fe-C alloys to which alloying elements were added, or basically of AISI 4340-type
composition in which alloying elements were varied. All steels in a series to show the effects of a given element were heat
treated to the same yield strength, and generally the effects of an element were determined at two yield strength levels.
The results show that only carbon and manganese are definitely harmful to SCC resistance. 相似文献

The film-induced cleavage model of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) has been tested using an Ag-20 at. pct Au alloy in 1 M
HClO4 solution. Brittle cracks, both intergranular (IG) and transgranular (TG) in nature, were formed by high-speed loading of
a thin foil covered with a dealloyed (nanoporous gold) layer. These cracks were found to propagate through the dealloyed layer
and into the uncorroded bulk face-centered cubic (fcc) material for a distance of many microns. Hydrogen embrittlement (HE)
can be excluded on thermodynamic grounds; thus, only film-induced cleavage can explain the observed decoupling of stress and
corrosion in the fracture process. 相似文献
