Heat treatment of cast aluminum alloys obtained by application of regulated pressure during crystallization

conclusion For castings of AK8 alloy obtained by application of regulated pressure during crystallization, we recommend the following heat treatment conditions: homogenization at 460–470°C for 8 h, quenching from 505–510°C, aging at 150–170°C for 3.5–4h. After treatment according to this procedure, a hardness of 72–74 HRB is achieved for the alloy.Vladimir Polytechnical Institute.

Al-Mg-Si-Cu合金的热处理工艺

研究了一种新型Al-Mg-Si-Cu合金热处理工艺参数对其力学性能的影响.经微合金化、熔炼铸造和挤压加工后的合金进行不同固溶、时效延迟和时效处理,并对热处理工艺进行了优化.用金相显微镜、维氏硬度计、扫描电镜及电子万能试验机对合金微观组织和力学性能进行检测分析.结果表明,Al-0.41Mg-0.36Si-1.0Cu合金的过烧敏感温度为620℃,在(520～580)℃×(40～120)min范围内固溶处理后综合性能较佳.合金最佳热处理制度为520℃×(40～120)min固溶,然后165℃×10 h时效.Al-0.41Mg-0.36Si-1.0Cu合金固溶处理后时效延迟时间对硬度的影响较6082合金小,延迟时间应控制在3 h之内.     

Heat treatment of high-strength granulated aluminum alloy

Conclusions Stepped heating for solutioning (first step at 400°) induces additional and more even decomposition of the solid solution of refractory metals in aluminum, which leads to an increase in the strength characteristics and hardness of semifinished products.Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 9, pp. 43–44, September, 1979.

The anisotropy of aluminum and aluminum alloys

The anisotropy of textured aluminum is approximated by a yield criterion with an exponent of eight. The use of this criterion in metal-forming analyses has improved the understanding of the formability of aluminum and other metals. The effect of anisotropy on the limiting drawing ratio in cupping is less than that expected from the quadratic Hill yield criterion and the effect of texture on forming limit diagrams is negligible. A method of predicting the effect of strain-path changes on forming limit curves of aluminum alloy sheets has proven to agree with experiments.
