Superplastic behavior of Al-Cu-Li based alloy

The superplastic behavior was studied in an Al-4Cu-ILi-0.4Mg-0.4Ag-0.1Zr alloy. The alloys were manufactured both by＂ a conventional rolling route and a thermo-mechanical treatment route. The superplastic properties were evaluated as a function of temperature, strain rate, and processing history. Prior to thermo-mechanical processing, the alloys have elevated-temperature ductilities of 94% to 130%, strain rate sensitivities of about 0.25, and activation energies corresponding to lattice diffusion. After thermo-mechanical processing, the alloys have ductilities of 200% to 630%, strain rate sensitivity of about 0.42, and activation energies corresponding to grain boundary diffusion or a mixture of grain boundary diffusion and lattice diffusion. Skipping rapid recrystallization annealing can supply a higher value of elongation-to-failure.     

晶粒大小对AA2050铝合金蠕变时效的影响

采用恒应力蠕变拉伸、TEM、SEM、室温拉伸等手段,研究了晶粒大小对AA2050铝合金蠕变时效的影响。结果表明:AA2050铝合金试样经不同恒应力和不同温度蠕变拉伸后,蠕变应变随温度和应力升高而增大;原始晶粒小的比原始晶粒大的蠕变应变更大,抗拉强度和屈服强度更小,而伸长率则更大。     

双级时效对1420铝锂合金超塑性的影响

采用金相、透射电镜、高温拉伸等检测手段研究了双级时效对1420铝锂合金组织及超塑性的影响,结果表明:与单级时效相比,双级时效处理得到分布更均匀、体积分数更大的析出相粒子.双级时效经过轧制和再结晶退火后,得到的晶粒尺寸为8～12μm;500℃条件下8×10-4s-1超塑性伸长率达到860%.第一级低温时效先在基体形成较均匀的细小粒子,这些粒子不仅在晶界,也在晶内大量析出.在高温时效时,这些粒子长大形成分布均匀,体积分数大的析出相粒子.     

Formation mechanism of gradient-distributed particles and their effects on grain structure in 01420 Al-Li alloy

Fine-grained 01420 Al-Li alloy sheets were produced by thermo-mechanical processing based on the mechanism of particle stimulated nucleation of recrystallization. The thermo-mechanically processed sheets were observed to contain layers of different microstructures along the thickness. The precipitate behavior of the second phase particles and their effects on the distribution of dislocations and layered recrystallized grain structure were analyzed by optical microscopy（OM）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and X-ray diffractometry（XRD）. The formation mechanism of the gradient particles was discussed. The results show that after aging, a gradient distribution of large particles along the thickness is observed, the particles in the surface layer（SL） are distributed homogeneously, whereas those in the center layer（CL） are mainly distributed parallel to the rolling direction, and the volume fraction of the particles in the SL is higher than that in the CL. Subsequent rolling in the presence of layer-distributed particles results in a corresponding homogeneous distribution of highly strained regions in the SL and a banded distribution of them in CL, which is the main reason for the formation of layered grain structure along the thickness in the sheets.

用灰色关联分析方法取代传统的数理统计方法,对1420铝锂合金在固溶处理+时效处理后的第二相粒子尺寸和体积分数与影响因素之间的相互关系进行分析,确定各影响因子之间的主次关系。结果表明,二级时效温度是最关键因子,次关键因子为二级时效时间,关联度最低的是固溶时间,并根据分析结果提出实验时的相应对策。     

过时效工艺对AA2195铝锂合金微观组织的影响

采用扫描电子显微技术（SEM）、透射电子显微技术（TEM）、背反射电子衍射技术（EBSD）等分析手段对AA2195铝锂合金过时效对析出相粒子组态、细晶组织的影响进行了研究。结果表明：时效过程中析出的球状粒子为富Cu相,板条状相为富CuFe相;在相同的时效时间下,越高的处理温度可以得到更大的析出相粒子体积分数;在600K以下时效时,粒子沿原始晶界呈连续分布,并几乎占满所有晶界,这种网状分布的粒子在最终快速退火中不仅无法提供足够的形核位置,还将成为大角度晶界移动的障碍,导致大尺寸扁平状晶粒组织的形成,而600K以上的样品则可以得到球状粒子,晶界上无连续分布的粒子,得到了比较理想的晶粒组织。600K／24h炉冷是AA2195铝锂合金超塑性预处理的最佳时效工艺。     

超塑预处理01420铝锂合金层状晶粒组织的形成机制

采用形变热处理法制备01420铝锂合金细晶板材,研究时效第二相对位错分布和层状再结晶组织形成的影响.结果表明时效第二相沿板材法向呈梯度分布,在表面层分布均匀且含量较大,而在中心层主要沿平行轧制方向分布且含量较小;第二组粒子的这种分布方式导致轧制过程中在其周围形成的高应变区域也呈梯度分布,这是导致层状再结晶组织形成的主要原因;板材表面层为细小等轴的再结晶晶粒,平均粒径约为10 μm;板材中心层再结晶晶粒呈长条状,平均尺寸约为30 μm×12 μm;各层约占板材总厚度的1/3.
