Al_2O_3弥散粒子对Cu-Al_2O_3合金高温退火显微组织的影响

利用TEM研究弥散Al2O3粒子对变形Cu-Al2O3弥散强化铜合金高温退火显微组织的影响。结果表明:弥散强化铜合金等时(1h)退火时,显微硬度HV呈缓慢下降趋势,没有发生突降现象;弥散铜高温退火主要以位错亚结构回复为主,而亚晶较为少见;粒子弥散参数和胞壁性质对退火时的回复产生非常重要的影响;Al2O3弥散粒子影响位错在胞壁内的运动,阻碍胞壁内位错重排、迁移,使得胞壁很难通过运动而获得位向差的积累,从而阻碍大角晶界的形成;随合金中弥散粒子含量的增大和粒子间距的减小,亚晶形核更加困难;Cu-Al2O3合金冷轧过程中形成的胞组织的胞壁具有较小的平均位向差,导致弥散铜合金高温退火时难以形成具有明晰边界的亚晶组织。

4种均匀化态Al-Zn-Mg-Cu合金的淬透性

通过末端淬火方法研究7075,7050,7055和7085这4种均匀化态合金的淬透性,采用扫描电镜和透射电子显微镜对微观组织进行分析。研究结果表明:这4种均匀化态合金距离喷水端98 mm处的维氏硬度比3 mm处的维氏硬度分别下降33%,6%,7%和5%,7075合金淬透层深度为23 mm,其余3种合金淬透层深度均在100 mm以上;7075合金慢速淬火时,更多大尺寸的η平衡相和T相倾向于在非共格的E相上析出;时效后平衡相的周围出现明显无沉淀析出带,导致维氏硬度明显下降,淬透性大大降低,而其余3个合金中弥散粒子(Al3Zr)与基体共格,析出的平衡相粒度较小且数量较少,因而淬透性均较好。

Effect of homogenization time on quench sensitivity of 7085 aluminum alloy

The effect of homogenization time on quench sensitivity of a cast 7085 aluminum alloy was investigated by means of end-quenching test, optical microscope （OM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The results show that with the increase of homogenization time from 48 h to 384 h, quench sensitivity increased slightly as the largest difference in the hardness was increased from 5.2% to 6.9% in the end-quenched and aged specimens. Prolonging homogenization had little effect on the grain structure, but improved the dissolution of soluble T phase and resulted in larger Al3Zr dispersoids with a low number density. Some small quench-induced η phase particles on Al3Zr dispersoids were observed inside grains during slow quenching, which decreased hardness after subsequent aging. The change in the character of Al3Zr dispersoids exerted slight influence on quench sensitivity.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior of 7085 aluminum alloy during hot deformation

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of 7085 aluminum alloy during hot compression at various temperatures （573？723 K） and strain rates （0.01-10 s^-1） was studied by electron back scattered diffraction （EBSD）, electro-probe microanalyzer （EPMA） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. It is shown that dynamic recovery is the dominant softening mechanism at high Zener？Hollomon （Z） values, and dynamic recrystallization tends to appear at low Z values. Hot compression with ln Z=24.01 （723 K, 0.01 s？1） gives rise to the highest fraction of recrystallization of 10.2%. EBSD results show that the recrystallized grains are present near the original grain boundaries and exhibit similar orientation to the deformed grain. Strain-induced boundary migration is likely the mechanism for dynamic recrystallization. The low density of Al3Zr dispersoids near grain boundaries can make contribution to strain-induced boundary migration.

Grain structure effect on quench sensitivity of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr alloy

The effect of grain structure on quench sensitivity of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr alloy was investigated by hardness testing, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The results show that with the decrease of quenching rate from 960 ℃/s to 2 ℃/s, the hardness after aging is decreased by about 33% for the homogenized and solution heat treated alloy（H-alloy） with large equiaxed grains and about 43% for the extruded and solution heat treated alloy（E-alloy） with elongated grains and subgrains. Cr-containing dispersoids make contribution to about 33% decrement in hardness of the H-alloy due to slow quenching; while in the E-alloy, the amount of（sub） grain boundaries is increased by about one order of magnitude, which leads to a further 10% decrement in hardness due to slow quenching and therefore higher quench sensitivity.

Fabrication,microstructures and mechanical properties of ZrO_2 dispersion-strengthened Q345 steel

ZrO2 dispersion-strengthened Q345 steel with different ZrO2 contents（0%, 0.5% and 1.2%, mass fraction） was fabricated through combining middle frequency induction furnace melting and cored-wire injection technologies. The microstructure and fracture surface morphology of ZrO2 dispersion-strengthened Q345 steel in casting, normalizing and quenching states were observed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Also, strengthening and fracture mechanisms of the alloys were analyzed. Results showed that the dispersed ZrO2 particles added into Q345 matrix significantly enhanced its strength, and the main strengthening mechanism was the formation of dislocation cells and pinning effect caused by the addition of ZrO2 particles. Apart from that, the hard martensite phase, grain refinement and high ZrO2 particles content also played important roles in strengthening effect. Furthermore, the nanoindentation was also performed to further reveal the strengthening effect and mechanism of dispersed ZrO2 particles in Q345 steel. Results showed that the hardness of ZrO2 dispersion-strengthened Q345 steel increased with the increase of ZrO2 content.
