摘要:The precipitation behavior of the 7050 thick sheet during the RRA process at 185 ℃ was analyzed by tensile test,conductivity test and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)observation,and it was compared with that of 7050-T6 ones.The results indicate that 7050-T6 alloy possesses high strength,such as the yield strength of 507 MPa,and low stress corrosion resistance,such as low conductivityof 16.59 MS/m.During the retrogression process,strength of the alloy is increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of electric conductivity through the whole process.As retrogressed at185 ℃for 1h,the 7050-RRA exhibits excellent comprehensive performance,where yield strength is increased to 523 MPa and electric conductivity is 20.07 MS/m.The TEM observation reveals that the main strengthening phase is GP(I)zone andη′in the 7050-T6 alloy.During the RRA process,the GP(I)zone is transformed into GP(Ⅱ)zone andη′,and the further precipitation ofη′results in the strength increase to a peak value.Then,retrogressed to 4h,the GP zone disappears and the transition ofη′→ηcauses the decrease of strength.

摘要:1145casting plates with 7mm in thickness have been manufactured with electrolytic aluminum liquid.Effects of different casting speeds(9001 400 mm/min)on the microstructure and the center layer segregation in cast-rolling plates were investigated and analyzed by means of optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscope(SEM)and energy disperse analysis techniques(EDS).The results reveal that casting speed has important effect on microstructure of 1145 aluminum plates.When the roll casting speed is in range of 9001 200mm/min,with increasing in casting speed,change of the grain size along the longitudinal section of the cast-rolling plate can be ignored with the fine and uniformly distributed grain,and the center layer is free of segregation.With the casting speed more than 1 300mm/min,the grain begains to be coarsen and the segregation is more serious.Someβ-FeSiAl compounds are precipitated from the segregation layer.To obtain the cast-rolling plate with fine grain and free composition segregation,the optimum experimental casting speed is in range of 9001 200mm/min.

摘要:The aluminum content in Mg-Al-Zn alloy was designed and analyzed by considering rheological behavior of semi-solid billet and corrosion resistance.The results reveal that when Al content is in range of 6% 11% and the solid fraction is increased from 30%to 60%,with increasing in Al content,the temperature sensitivity of alloys is decreased and solidification temperature range is narrowed.On the other hand,the corrosion resistance demonstrates that at the same solid fraction,with increasing in solid particle amount and decreasing in solid particle size,corrosion at the initiatory stage is accelerated,however,corrosion amount is decreased.With Al content of 8%,the Mg-Al alloy can form continuousβphase,which inhibits effectively the internal corrosion of semi-solid magnesium alloy.When Al content is in range of 8% 11%,it is suitable for the rheological requirement and improvement of corrosion resistance of semi-solid Mg-Al-Zn alloy.
