摘要
The solidification paths of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys and its precipitation behavior are analyzed using software package JMatPro 6.0 for material property simulation of Al-base alloys.The microstructures of the experimental alloys are analyzed;the experimental results of microstructural analysis are in agreement with the thermodynamic prediction.Through orthogonal experimental method,this paper designs the composition of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys by studying the variation of η(MgZn2) phase,S(Al2CuMg) phase,T(AlZnMgCu) phase amount and precipitation temperatures with different Zn,Mg and Cu contents.It is found that with the optimum mass fraction of Zn of 6.7%,Mg of 2.2%-2.5% and Cu of 1.6%-2.0%,the mass fraction of η phase can be up to 8.7%-9.22% and that of S phase and T phase can be lower than 0.5%.
The solidification paths of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys and its precipitation behavior are analyzed using software package JMatPro 6.0 for material property simulation of Al-base alloys. The microstructures of the experimental alloys are analyzed; the experimental results of microstructural analysis are in agreement with the thermodynamic prediction. Through orthogonal experimental method, this paper designs the composition of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys by studying the variation of η （MgZn2） phase, S （A12CuMg） phase, T （A1ZnMgCu） phase amount and precipitation temperatures with different Zn, Mg and Cu contents. It is found that with the optimum mass fraction of Zn of 6.7%, Mg of 2.2%--2.5% and Cu of 1.6%--2.0%, the mass fraction of η phase can be up to 8.7%--9.22% and that of S phase and T phase can be lower than 0.5%.
