Microstructures and Properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr Alloys with Minor Scandium

The microstructures of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr al- loys with minor Sc were studied by using optical microscope（OM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and transmission electron microscope（TEM）.

Corrosion Behavior of Welded Joints of Al-6Mg Alloy with Trace Scandium Addition

Al-6Mg alloy with trace Sc addition was prepared by means of melting-casting.The samples of the welded joints of Al-6Mg alloy with trace Sc addition were made by method of manual argon-arc welding.Neutral salt spray test was carried out by referring to GB/T10125-1997 and GB6384-1986 practice.Exfoliation testing was carried out in accordance with the method of Al-Mg alloy exfoliation corrosion test.The corrosion behaviors of the welded joints of AlMg alloy with high level of Mg and trace Sc addition were studied.The microstructures of the welded joints were observed by using optical microscope and transmission electron microscope.The corrosion resistance mechanism of the alloy was also involved.This work intended to determine if the welded joints of Al-6Mgalloy with trace Sc addition can have excellent corrosion resistance, when their strength are clearly improved.The results show that trace content of Sc refines the grains of alloys effectively, raises remarkably the corrosion resistance of the welded joints of Al-6Mg alloy with trace Sc addition.The corrosion resistance mechanisms are that there is free of continuous grain boundary precipitation or network which could be susceptible to corrosion in the microstructure of welded joints.     

Age Hardening Behavior and Corresponding Microstructure of Dilute Al-Er-Zr Alloys

The age hardening and the microstructure of dilute Al-Er-Zr alloys were investigated by microhardness tests and TEM. The Al-0.04Er alloy shows a conventional age hardening behavior and obtains a maximum hardness of 410 MPa after aging for 2 h at 523 K (250 °C) due to precipitation of Al₃Er. The addition of Zr to Al-Er alloy can slow down the growth of the precipitates and make the age hardening effect remain for a long time in Al-0.04Er-0.04Zr alloy. Addition of Zr retards the decomposition of Al-Er and the Al-0.04Er-0.08Zr alloy can reach higher peak hardness than that of Al-0.04Er after aging for long time at elevated temperature. The precipitation behavior of Al-Er-Zr system is likely to be a new commercial way to developing creep-resistant aluminum alloy.

An Al-1.1 Sc-1.1 Zr (wt %) master alloy with a uniform distribution of micron and submicron particles of aluminide phase Al₃(Sc_{1 − x} Zr _x ) has been obtained by exposing of equal amounts of commercial Al-Sc and Al-Zr master alloys to short-time actions of low-frequency vibrations transferred to the alloy via an irradiating plunger. Zirconium substitutes up to 50% Sc in aluminides and retains its L1₂ lattice. The modifying capacity of the experimental master alloy is tested on cast alloy (wt %) Al-8Zn-2.4Cu-3Mg. Intense grain refinement of this alloy is achieved by its modification with a certain amount of the master alloy. At a certain Sc + Zr content, a grain dendrite structure completely disappears in the alloy.

Effect of alloying by transitional refractory metals on the microstructure and thermal stability of Al–5Zn–3Mg alloys

Abstract

The effect of additions of transitional refractory metals on the structure and properties of Al–Zn–Mg alloys, made by ingot and PM routes, was investigated. The strength of the ingot alloys especially is increased by scandium and zirconium. The modifying action of scandium inhibits recrystallisation and precipitation of the fine-grained coherent Al₃(Sc_1–xZr_x) phase. The effect is weaker in PM alloys where the ultra-high cooling rate during high pressure water atomisation produces the fine-grained structure. PM semi-products of the base composition Al–5Zn–3Mg and alloys without scandium are not recrystallised during heating to 500°C, whereas cast alloys of similar composition recrystallised on the hot extrusion stage at 400–450°C. Of the Sc alloys, Al–5Zn–3Mg–0·5Mn–0·7Zr–0·3Sc showed the highest strength (UTS?=?651 MPa, YS?=?596 MPa), whereas of the PM alloys without scandium Al–5Zn–3Mg–0·85Zr–0·22Cr–0·17Ni–0·15Ti alloy showed UTS?=?618 MPa and YS?=?553 MPa. At melt cooling rates of 10⁵–10⁶ K s^–1 the total content of transitional refractory metals must not exceed 1·5–1·7 wt-% and total content (Zn+Mg) should be <8 wt-% at a Zn/Mg ratio of 5:3.     

Effect of squeeze casting process on microstructures and flow stress behavior of Al-17.5Si-4Cu-0.5Mg alloy

The effects of squeeze casting process on microstructure and flow stress behavior of Al-17.5Si-4Cu-0.5Mg alloy were investigated and the hot-compression tests of gravity casting and squeeze casting alloy were carried out at 350-500°C and 0.001-5s-1.The results show that microstructures of Al-17.5Si-4Cu-0.5Mg alloys were obviously improved by squeeze casting.Due to the decrease of coarse primary Si particles,softα-Al dendrite as well as the fine microstructures appeared,and the mechanical properties of squeeze casting alloys were improved.However,when the strain rate rises or the deformation temperature decreases,the flow stress increases and it was proved that the alloy is a positive strain rate sensitive material.It was deduced that compared with the gravity casting alloy,squeeze casting alloy(solidified at 632 MPa)is more difficult to deform since the flow stress of squeeze casting alloy is higher than that of gravity casting alloy when the deformation temperature exceeds 400°C.Flow stress behavior of Al-17.5Si-4Cu-0.5Mg alloy can be described by a hyperbolic sine form with Zener-Hollomon parameter,and the average hot deformation activation energy Q of gravity casting alloy and squeeze casting alloy is 278.97 and 308.77kJ/mol,respectively.

Nanoindentation study of the effect of the structural state of the melt on the crystal structure and mechanical properties of the phases in an Al-50 wt % Sn alloy

Nanoindentation is used to measure Young’s modulus, the hardness, the plasticity, and the yield strength of the phases in Al-50 wt % Sn alloy samples prepared by a traditional method and using liquid-state homogenization. The effect of an increase in the cooling rate by an order of magnitude and alloying with 0.06 wt % Ti or 1 wt % Zr on the mechanical properties of the phases in the Al-50 wt % Sn alloy is studied. The most substantial effect on Young’s modulus of the phases in the Al-50 wt % Sn alloy is found to be exerted by the homogenization of the metallic liquid and the introduction of zirconium in the alloy melt: the metal forming of an ingot is improved substantially.

Influences of different Zr/Sc ratios on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-2Si alloy

The influences of different Zr/Sc ratios on the microstructural evolution and mechanical performances of Al-2 Si alloy were investigated in this paper.The as-cast samples were characterized and analyzed by the scanning electron microscope(SEM) with an energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS) to indicate the refining effect of the different Zr/Sc ratios on the α-Al and Si phases in Al-2 Si alloy.The results indicate that the α-Al phases are refined from coarse dendritic structure to relatively fine equiaxed grains when the Zr/Sc ratio is equal to 1:1.Meanwhile,the eutectic Si phase in Al-2 Si-0.2 Zr-0.2 Sc alloy is modified from the coarse plate and needle to fine fiber and partial granular structure,and the average roundness of eutectic Si is decreased by 75% from 16 to 4.With the refinement of α-Al phases and the modification of eutectic Si structure,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) is improved by 53% and the elongation(EL) is increased by 64% when the Zr/Sc ratio is equal to 1:1.In addition,the UTS decreases and EL is enhanced with the increase of tensile temperature.Moreover,the fracture model of Al-2 Si-0.2 Zr-0.2 Sc alloy in250℃ changes into the ductile fracture.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-xY-1.5MM-0.4Zr alloys

Age hardening,microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-xY-1.5MM-0.4Zr (x=0,2,4,6 wt.%) alloys (MM represents Ce-based misch-metal) were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the formed precipitates being responsible for age hardening changed from fine hexagonal-shaped equilibrium Mg12MM phase to metastable β’ phase with bco crystal structure when Y was added into Mg-1.5MM-0.4Zr alloy,and the volume fraction of precipitate phases also increased. With the increase of Y content in Mg-Y-1.5MM-0.4Zr alloys,it was found that the age hardening was enhanced,the grain sizes became finer and the tensile strength was improved. The cubic-shaped β-Mg24Y5 precipitate phases were observed at grain boundaries in Mg-6Y-1.5MM-0.4Zr alloy. It was suggested that the distribution of prismatic shaped β’ phases and cubic shaped β-Mg24Y5 precipitate phases in Mg matrix might account for the remarkable enhancement of tensile strength of Mg-Y-MM-Zr alloy. It was shown that the Mg-6Y-1.5MM-0.4Zr alloy was with maximum tensile strength at aged-peak hardness,UTS of 280 MPa at room temperature and 223 MPa at 250 oC,respectively.
