AA2037新型连铸铝合金热轧板退火的正电子湮没研究

Positron annihilation study of hot band of a continuous cast AA 2037 Al alloy after annealing

应用正电子湮没等技术对AA2037连铸铝合金热轧板不同温度退火下空位-溶质相互作用及沉淀相进行了研究,研究表明:室温时效形成的主要是空位-铜复合体以及空位-镁-铜复合体;温度为200℃退火时由于过渡相的形成正电子平均寿命出现峰值,符合多普勒展宽谱的商谱中观察到锰信号的存在,表明形成了空位-镁-锰复合体或过渡相中可能存在锰;温度高于250℃时,随着过渡相变粗、溶解,锰信号消失,而铜信号增强,在350℃后铜信号达到饱和,温度为450℃左右时,稳定相形成.

Hot band of a continuous cast AA 2037 Al alloy was annealed at different temperatures ranging from room temperature to 500℃ for 3h. Vacancy-solute interaction and precipitates in the hot band samples during annealing were investigated by positron annihilation techniques, coincidence Doppler broadening （CDB） of positron annihilation radiation and positron lifetime spectroscopy, and other methods. The experimental results indicated that there existed V-Cu and V-Cu-Mg complexes at room temperature. At 200℃, positron mean lifetime shows a peak value because of the formation of semicoherent particles. The characteristic shape of Mn was observed in the CDB ratio curve, which indicated the formation of V-Mg-Mn complexes or the existence of Mn clusters in the semicoherent particles. Above 250℃, coarsening and dissolution of semicoherent particles resulted in the decrease of mean lifetime and disappearance of the Mn signal, but the Cu signal increased clearly with annealing temperature. After 350℃, the Cu signal tended to saturation, which reflected that the Cu dissolved might agglomerate and cluster with vacancies during cooling the sample to room temperature, while new increase of mean lifetime might be attributed to the formation of incoherent phase, which was verified by DSC curve.
