Abstract:
Preheating and water-cooling-assisted friction rolling additive manufacturing (PC-FRAM) enhances the fabrication of 2195 Al-Li alloys by improving deposition efficiency through preheating while actively mitigating heat accumulation during additive manufacturing. This study aims to elucidate the evolution of precipitated particles in 2195 Al-Li alloy samples subjected to different aging strategies (single and double) and temperatures using PCFRAM. The morphology, size, and distribution of the precipitated phases at the atomic scale during the underaging, peak-aging, and over-aging stages were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that increasing aging time and temperature accelerates aging kinetics, thereby promoting the precipitation of larger T1 phases while reducing their number density. A high-density, fine-scale T1 phase with a width of 3-4 nm and a length of approximately 200 nm was precipitated in the matrix during the peak-aging stage when single aging was conducted at 170 degrees C for 8 h, significantly enhancing strength. The coarsening of the T1 phase during aging primarily occurred in two directions: along the diameter and thickness. Notably, the coarsening rate exhibited high sensitivity to aging temperature. The over-aging stage was reached when the final aging process was conducted at 190 degrees C for 4 h. The fine-scale, high-density precipitates formed during the peakaging stage substantially improved the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of 2195 Al-Li alloys, increasing them from 351 f 15.6 MPa and 251.3 f 15.8 MPa to 471 f 3.27 MPa and 442 f 6.21 MPa, respectively. This study provides theoretical guidance on heat treatment methods for additively manufactured Al-Li alloys using FRAM.
