摘要
The effects of heat treatment process on microstructure,micro-yield strength and dynamic dimensional stability of ZL114A aluminum alloy were investigated by optical microscopy(OM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),tensile testing and thermal cycling on-line measuring method.Fine dispersed eutectic Si phases are observed,and long strip eutectic Si and massive primary Si phases decrease in ZL114A alloy after high-temperature and long-time solution treatment,which result in the increase of micro-plastic deformation resistance.With the increasing of aging temperature,aging precipitation behaviour of ZL114A alloy transforms from precipitation of GP zone and β' phases simultaneously at lower temperature to precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases at higher temperature.Because coherent strengthening is the main strengthen mechanism for micro-plastic deformation,precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases is unfavorable to the improvement of micro-plastic deformation resistance.Micro-yield strength cannot characterize dimensional stability comprehensively,and dynamic dimensional stability under alternative temperature should also be tested cooperatively for better evaluation of dimensional stability.
The effects of heat treatment process on microstrucature, micro-yield strength and dynamic dimensional stability of ZL114A aluminum alloy were investigated by optical microscopy （OM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, tensile testing and thermal cycling on-line measuring method. Fine dispersed eutectic Si phases are observed, and long strip eutectic Si and massive primary Si phases decrease in ZL114A alloy after high-temperature and long-time solution treatment, which result in the increase of micro-plastic deformation resistance. With the increasing of aging temperature, aging precipitation behaviour of ZLll4A alloy transforms from precipitation of GP zone and fl＇ phases simultaneously at lower temperature to precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases at higher temperature. Because coherent strengthening is the main strengthen mechanism for micro-plastic deformation, precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases is unfavorable to the improvement of micro-plastic deformation resistance. Micro-yield strength cannot characterize dimensional stability comprehensively, and dynamic dimensional stability under alternative temperature should also be tested cooperatively for better evaluation of dimensional stability.
