The microstructures and properties of 7055 aluminum alloy were studied at different single-aging for up to 48 h using hardness test, tensile test, electrical conductivity measurement, XRD and TEM microstructure analysis. The results show that at the early stage of aging, the hardness and strength of the alloy increase rapidly, the peak hardness and strength are approached after 120 ℃ aging for 4 h, then maintained at a high level for a long time. The suitable single-aging treatment of 7055 alloy is 480 ℃, 1 h solution treatment and water quenching, then aging at 120 ℃ for 24 h. Under those condition, the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and electrical conductivity of the studied alloy are 513 MPa, 462 MPa, 9.5% and 29%(IACS), respectively. During aging, the solid solution decomposes and precipitation occurs. At the early aging stage of 120 ℃, GP zones form and then grow up gradually with increasing ageing time. η′ phase forms after ageing for 4 h and η phase starts to occur after 24 h aging. 相似文献
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been used to detect atomic species in various enviromnents. The quantitative analysis (C, H, O, N and S) of representative coal samples are being carried out with LIBS, and the effects of particle size are analyzed. A powerful pulse Nd:YAG laser is focused on the coal sample at atmosphere pressure, and the emission spectra from laser-induced plasmas are measured by time-resolved spectroscopy, and the intensity of analyzed spectral lines is obtained through observing the laser plasma with a delay time of 0.4 #s. The experimental results show that the slope of calibration curve is nearly 1 when the concentration of the analyzed element is relatively low, and the slope of curve is nearly 0.5 when the concentration of C is higher than other elements. In addition, using the calibration-free model without self-absorption effect, the results show that the decreasing of particle size leads to an increase of the plasma temperature. 相似文献
The microstructures of 7050 aluminum alloy under different thermal exposure conditions were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and tensile test. Guinier preston (GP) zone and η′ phase are the main precipitates in original 7050 alloy. The orientation relationship between η′ and matrix is and . When the alloy is exposed at different temperatures for 500 h, with the thermal exposure temperature increasing, it can be seen under TEM that the precipitates become larger and the width of precipitate free zones (PFZ) becomes larger. The higher temperature the alloy is exposed at, the more the strength is reduced. Both GP zones and η′ precipitates getting coarser and the PFZ getting wider should be responsible for the strength decline and elongation rise of 7050 alloy during thermal exposure. 相似文献
