Effects of Zr and Cerium-rich Mixtures of Rare Earth on As-cast Microstructure and Properties of 5182 Based Alloys Containing Ti
Zr and cerium-rich mixtures of rare earth on as-cast microstructure and properties of 5182 based alloys containing 0.03% Ti have been investigated by OM(optical microscope)
SEM (scanning electron microscope) and X-ray. The results show that the refining effects of Zr on 5182 aluminum alloy are superior to those of Re
however
the refining effects of Re on secondary dendrite in 5182 alloy are superior to those of Zr. The alloy with higher hardness and finer grain size can be observed with 0.20%Zr and 0.20% RE mixtures modification. The morphology which is obviously spheroidized and distribution of precipitates can be changed in the alloy with Ti and RE mixtures. Regular block precipitates containing Al
Ti
Zr are precipitated to be used as nuclei in Zr refined alloy
