2014铝合金的形变时效处理

采用拉伸实验、透射电镜和光学金相法,研究了固溶处理水淬后较大程度冷变形对2014铝合金时效后组织和性能的影响·结果指出:采用较大变形程度(65%)冷轧,再进行低温短时间时效(160℃,30min),可使2014合金的强度得到显著提高(σb=568MPa),其延伸率(δ=116%)仍不低于常规时效处理(固溶处理,水淬,160℃,12h)的延伸率;经这样冷变形的2014合金,在稍高温度短时间回复处理,将导致时效强化能力显著降低·     

铝合金形变时效处理的分析和比较探讨

铝合金常用的时效处理工艺是"淬火+冷变形+时效处理",主要目的是提高铝合金的机械强度并保留好的塑性,防止变形。在实际生产中,采用这种工艺对2000系列和7000系列铝合金进行时效处理后,得到不同的处理效果,即2000系列铝合金时效处理后的机械强度得到提高,并保留了较好的塑性;而7000系列铝合金时效处理后的机械的强度反而会下降。针对这样的问题,文章结合冷变形时效处理的特点,分析和比较了2000系列和7000系列合金的时效析出过程,总结出了两种系列铝合金采用同样的时效处理工艺,产生不同时效处理结果的主要原因。     

经济型双相不锈钢2101中氮化物在基体中的平衡固溶度计算

为了解析出物对经济型双相不锈钢2101热塑性的影响机制,对比了相同工艺下2101和2205双相不锈钢在热变形过程中相界析出物产生的规律.结果表明:2101钢比2205钢的相界处更倾向于产生析出物,促使后续热变形过程中相界产生裂纹,进而影响材料的热塑性.根据热力学相关数据,通过Thermo-Calc和实验测试数据,推导出2101和2205双相不锈钢析出物Cr2N的平衡固溶度公式,计算实验钢中析出物Cr2N的全固溶温度,同时引入Wagner相互作用系数,考虑了Ni、Mn、Mo和Si对固溶度积公式的影响.发现2101双相不锈钢中Cr2N的全固溶温度比2205钢高100℃左右,计算结果和实验结果吻合较好.实际生产过程中必须控制双相不锈钢热轧的终轧温度到全固溶温度以上,否则相界容易产生氮化物析出,影响材料热塑性.     

Effect of spark plasma sintering and reinforcements on the formation of ultra-fine and nanograins in AA2024-TiB2-Y hybrid composites

This study reports the influence of sintering mechanism and reinforcement materials on the formation of ultra-fine and nanograins in Al-TiB₂-Y nanohybrid composites. The mechanical properties of the composites and their corresponding micro and nanostructures are correlated. The experimental and characterization results revealed that despite the addition of TiB₂, the hard and brittle Al₃Ti phase formation in the composites was suppressed and hence, their ductility was retained. It was found that yttrium content of 0.3 ?wt% was the optimum amount which created advantageous spark plasma sintering conditions, and the addition of 0.3 ?wt% promoted the formation of bi-modal size grains (ultra-fine and nano) along with micro grains, Ω and other nano precipitates, resulting in a significant enhancement in the composite properties. The formation of ultra-fine and nanograins may be attributed to the combined effect of melting and rapid solidification at necking zones due to Joule's heating and thermo-mechanical fatigue. Among all the sintered composites, the highest hardness (137 HV), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) (496 ?MPa), yield strength (YS) (438 ?MPa) with 15.7% elongation were obtained in the sintered sample reinforced with 1.0 ?wt% TiB₂ and 0.3 ?wt% yttrium.
