Effects of Minor Sc and Zr Compound Alloying on Microstructure and Properties of Al-4Cu-1.5Mg Alloy
Effects of minor Sc and Zr compound alloying on as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-4Cu-1.5Mg alloy were investigated.It is found that as-cast microstructure of the alloy is effectively improved by minor Sc and Zr compound addition
in which grain size is greatly refined and coarse dendrite is converted into uniform fine equiaxe grain.Tensile strength
yield strength and elongation of the alloy with 0.4% Sc and 0.2% Zr compound addition reach up to 275.0MPa
176.0MPa and 8.0%
respectively
increased by 55.3% in tensile strength and about 300% in elongation compared with Al-4Cu-1.5Mg matrix alloy.
