The effect of quench rate on alloys with a bcomposition of 6.75 pct Zn, 2.5 pct Mg, 1.2 pct Cu and various levels and combinations of the minor addition elements (MAE’s) Cr, Mn, and Zr is reported. The level of chromium and to a lesser extent the level of zirconium determine quench sensitivity. Slow quenching of chromium- or zirconium-bearing alloys led to the nucleation of (MgZn) plates or laths at MAE-bearing particles which had certain orientation relationships with the matrix. The density of the hardening precipitation (100 to 200Å in diam) was found to be high in slowly quenched, sensitive alloys. Even when the yield strength had fallen to 50 pct of that of the fast-quenched material, a large fraction of the fine precipitate was still formed. A fracture mechanism is proposed to account for the magnitude of quench sensitivity in such materials. An embrittlement, at low quench rates, was found in alloys containing manganese or very low levels of MAE. This embrittlement was thought to be due to precipitation in the grain boundaries, and not to the width of the precipitate-free zone. 相似文献

A detailed fractographic and microstructural study, using combined scanning and transmission electron microscopy has been made of the fracture surfaces produced by fatigue of a commercial aluminium alloy 7010:T76 in moist air, dry argon and dry oxygen. In the dry environments fracture is entirely ductile: the fracture surface is non-crystallographic and essentially striation free. In moist air fracture occurs by cleavage on {110} coupled with plastic deformation during the blunting and closing of the crack: this results in the formation of well defined surface striations. Striation topography is controlled by the local orientation of the cleavage plane to the direction of maximum tensile stress and to the slip systems of highest local shear stress. In consequence a range of striation profiles are developed. It is suggested that the cleavage component of growth is the result of hydrogen embrittlement of the matrix ahead of the crack and that dislocation transport is necessary to introduce this hydrogen. 相似文献

Nucleation of Fe-intermetallic phases (i.e. binary Al-Fe, α-AlFeSi, β-AlFeSi, δ-AlFeSi, and q1-AlFeSi phases) on the surface of different inclusions in six experimental Al-Si-Fe alloys was studied through a quantitative
evaluation of the number of inclusion particles that have a direct physical contact with the nucleated phase as seen through
the optical microscope. It was found that nucleation of each of the Fe-intermetallic phases was promoted on the surface of
several inclusions under the same conditions of alloy composition and cooling rates. Some inclusions exhibited high potency
for the nucleation of particular Fe-intermetallic phases under certain conditions and poor potency under other conditions.
The potent nucleants for the primary α-Al phase such as γ-Al2O3 exhibited poor potency for the nucleation of the Fe-intermetallic particles that lie within the primary phase (intragranular
particles). Reactive inclusions such as CaO and SiC are very potent nucleants for the intragranular Fe-intermetallic phase
particles. The nucleation of the Fe-intermetallic phases in Al-Si-Fe alloys obeys the general features of nucleation, in particular,
the effect of cooling rate and solute concentration on the potency of the nucleant particles: (1) it was observed that increasing
the cooling rate enhances the heterogeneous nucleation of the Fe-intermetallic phases on the surface of different inclusions,
and (2) the nucleation potency of inclusion particles in both α-Al and interdendritic regions improves with increasing solute concentration up to a certain level. Above this level, the
solute concentration poisons the nucleation sites. Nucleation of the Fe-intermetallics in the alloys studied does not seem
to be largely affected by the type of the nucleating surface. 相似文献

A model for the electrical conductivity of peak-aged and overaged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A physically based model for the electrical conductivity of peak-aged and overaged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7xxx series) alloys is presented. The model includes calculations of the η- and the S-phase solvus (using a regular-solution model), taking account of the capillary effect and η coarsening. It takes account of the conductivity of grains (incorporating dissolved alloying elements, undissolved particles,
and precipitates) and solute-depleted areas at the grain boundaries. Data from optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry
(DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) are consistent with the model and its predictions. The model has been successfully used to fit and predict the conductivity
data of a set of 7xxx alloys including both Zr-containing alloys and Cr-containing alloys under various aging conditions, achieving an accuracy
of about 1 pct in predicting unseen conductivity data from this set of alloys. 相似文献

The separate and combined effects of adding silver, substituting other elements for chromium, increasing zinc, or varying
the copper content on the tensile properties and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking of 7075-type alloys were investigated.
Adding silver produced no increase in strength and marginal increases in the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Substituting
either zirconium or manganese for chromium increased strength and decreased the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking after
a given precipitation heat treatment; at equal strength levels, the resistances to stress-corrosion cracking of the chromium-free
alloys below 3 in. (76 mm) thickness were comparable to those of 7075. Increasing zinc increased the resistance to stress-corrosion
cracking but increased quench sensitivity. Decreasing copper decreased the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in the
atmosphere. Increasing copper in chromium-free alloys provided the best combination of strength and resistance to stress-corrosion
cracking. Longer atmospheric exposures are needed to firmly establish the stress-corrosion resistance.

The crystalline structures in the Ti-Al-C and Ti-Si-C systems are analyzed, and experiments are conducted with VT6 titanium alloy and eutectoidal Silumin (Al-12% Si) subjected to electroexplosive alloying and electron-beam treatment. Diffraction analysis reveals the formation of MAX phases (Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC) in the modified layer of these alloys. 相似文献

Comparison of the influence of chromium and zirconium on the quench sensitivity of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The role played by small additions of chromium and zirconium on the “quench-sensitivity” of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu high purity alloys
has been studied. The effects of the quench rate reduction have been evaluated by mechanical testing; the associated microstructural
features have been investigated by electron microscopy. The obtained data adequately explain the mechanisms of the “quench-sensitivity”. 相似文献

The deformation and fracture of Al-Mg alloys have been investigated over a range of strain rates and temperatures. The rate
and temperature-dependence of the deformation can be understood on the basis of the mobility of Mg atoms. When the Mg atoms
can diffuse at a sufficient rate they interact with dislocations to produce serrated yielding and a zero or negative strain
rate sensitivity. This greatly restricts the tensile ductility. Outside of this serrated flow regime enhanced ductilities
are achieved due to the positive strain rate sensitivity stabilizing any inhomogeneities which develop. However, the final
fracture is also influenced by the constituent particle concentration. Voiding occurs at particles and if the concentration
of particles is sufficiently large the voids link up by local shear. Decreasing the constituent particle concentration, together
with a reduction in the amplitude of serrations, results in larger tensile ductilities. At high temperatures, quite large
strain rate sensitivities can be achieved but the ductility is finally limited by the propensity for voiding in these alloys. 相似文献

Systematic experimental work and modeling efforts have been conducted to characterize the yield behavior of commercial aluminum
alloys in the semisolid state. In this study, extensive compression experiments were performed to measure the yield stress
of semisolid aluminum slurries at high solid fractions (0.5 to 1.0), and a cone penetration method was employed to measure
yield stress at low solid fractions (<0.5). A functional relationship between yield stress and temperature/solid fraction
has been established for these alloys. The effect of the processing route on the resultant yield stress of the material in
the semisolid state was studied by evaluating commercial A356 billets manufactured via magnetohydrodynamic stirring, grain refining, and UBE’s new rheocasting (NRC) processes, respectively. Detailed microstructure
observations and image analyses reveal that the difference in yield-stress values among the alloys evaluated is intricately
related to the semisolid structure. At a given solid fraction, the yield stress of semisolid slurries depends on microstructural
indices (i.e., entrapped-liquid content, shape factor of the alpha phase, and the alpha particle size). In addition, numerical simulation
results indicate that the finite yield stress of semisolid metals plays a significant role in determining the flow pattern
during die filling. Depending on processing conditions, five distinct filling patterns (shell, disk, mound, bubble, and transition)
have been identified and confirmed through experimental observations. Recent simulations demonstrate that the finite yield
stress is also responsible for flow instabilities encountered in commercial forming operations, such as “toothpaste behavior.”
Specifically, most flow instabilities can be avoided by properly controlling processing parameters and the initial semisolid
microstructure. A stability map that provides a control guide for semisolid processing has been developed and is presented. 相似文献

Improved fatigue resistance of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7075) alloys through thermomechanical processing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
F. Ostermann 《Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B》1971,2(10):2897-2902
To decrease the accumulation of damage during long-life low-stress cyclic loading, microstructures must accommodate inelastic
deformation by homogeneous or “dispersed” slip rather than by localized slip concentrations. In age-hardening aluminum alloys
this requirement can be met by introducing a dense and uniform dislocation forest through suitable thermo-mechanical treatments.
Such a treatment was developed for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7075) alloys, involving a process cycle of solution annealing, partial aging,
mechanical working and final aging. The fatigue properties (S-N curves) of commercial and high-purity 7075TMT are compared with conventional 7075-T651 properties; with zero mean stress
the alternating stress to cause failure in 107 cycles is more than 25 pct higher for commercial-purity 7075TMT and almost 50 pct higher for high-purity 7075TMT. The results
emphasize the importance of microstructural control when high fatigue resistance is required.

The growth kinetics and thermal stability of metastable phases in Al-Mg alloys have been investigated by means of electrical
resistivity measurements and calorimetry. From the observation of two distinct endothermal peaks in DSC thermograms, the existence
of two types of metastable phases named as G.P. zones and β" phase was recognized. G.P. zones were defined as a metastable
phase precipitating directly from the supersaturated solid solution. By analogy with other systems, the β" phase could correspond
to an ordered phase with an Ll2 structure. Aging behavior was divided principally into two stages. In the first stage, mainly G.P. zones precipitated, although
both metastable phases coexisted over all the aging process. In the later stage, the β" phase dominated after aging beyond
100 ks at room temperature. The phase diagram for these two metastable phases was proposed, based on both the reversion experiments
and the thermal analysis.
