Abstract:
The effect of homogenization treatment on aging behavior of Al3(Sc, Zr) and homogeneity of Mg were studied in Al-6Mg-0.4Mn-0.15Zr-0.04Sc alloy using Micro-hardness test, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The peak hardness HV of the alloy annealed at the normal homogeneous temperature of 475℃ was 830 MPa, much lower than 920℃ of that isochronally annealed at 175~550℃, demonstrating that the alloy does not obtain the sufficient aging strengthening from Al3(Sc, Zr) particle during one-stage annealing at 475℃. Therefore, two-stage homogeneous treatment was designed. The first stage annealing was between 275~350℃, where at 300℃ exhibits the highest peak hardness of 870 MPa, and the second-stage annealing was performed at 475℃ with the peak hardness of 920 MPa. The microstructure analyses indicate the Al3(Sc, Zr) particles in the two-stage annealing are much finer than those of one step annealing. After annealing at 300℃/7 h+ 475℃/15 h, the segregation of Mg disappears and the Al3(Sc, Zr) particles form dispersedly at the same time. Finally, a higher strength and a higher recrystallization temperature are obtained. © 2020, Science Press. All right reserved.
