The results showed that Mn promoted the formation of Al6Mn and Al60Mn11Ni4 intermetallics. These Mn-rich compounds increased the strength and hardness, but decreased the ductility and fracture toughness of the alloy. To improve the ductility and toughness, the as-cast alloys were then subjected to FSP (rotation speed of 1600 r/min and traverse speed of 12 mm/min). According to the results, FSP greatly improved the mechanical properties. The tensile strength, yield strength, fracture strain, microhardness, and fracture toughness of FSPed Al-4Ni-2Mn increased by 67%, 30%, 230%, 20%, and 1185%, respectively. The fine redistribution of Mn-rich compounds, formation of ultrafine grains, microstructural densification, and the elimination of casting defects such as micropores and oxide bifilms were found to be the most important factors responsible for improving the mechanical properties. The fractographic investigations also revealed that the fracture of as-cast Mn-rich alloys changed from the brittle mode containing micro-facets to a more ductile fracture mode containing fine and equiaxed dimples in FSPed alloys.展开更多
The superplasticity of Al-6Mg-0.4Mn-0.25Sc-0.12Zr and Al-6Mg-0.4Mn-0.25Er-0.12Zr(mass fraction,%)alloys sheet was investigated,and the effect of Sc and Er was discussed.The results show that the superplastic ductiliti...The superplasticity of Al-6Mg-0.4Mn-0.25Sc-0.12Zr and Al-6Mg-0.4Mn-0.25Er-0.12Zr(mass fraction,%)alloys sheet was investigated,and the effect of Sc and Er was discussed.The results show that the superplastic ductilities of Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy was higher than that of Al-Mg-Mn-Er-Zr alloy at a wide temperature range of 400-540°C and high strain rate range of1.67×10-4-1.67×10-1 s-1.A maximum elongation 673%is obtained at 520°C and 1.67×10-3 s-1 in the Sc-containing alloy;while the Er-containing alloy only gets a maximum elongation 253%at 520°C and 1.67×10-3 s-1.Moreover,the average stress exponent of Sc-containing alloy is about 2.84,which is smaller than that of Er-containing alloy(3.64).Besides,the activation energies of the Sc-containing and Er-containing alloy are 84.8 k J/mol and 87.2 k J/mol,respectively.It is indicated that grain boundary sliding is the dominant mechanism during tensile deformation.According to microstructure examination,the better superplasticity of Sc-containing alloy may be attributed to the presence of Al3_(Sc,Zr)dispersoids,which can inhibit recrystallization and grain growth effectively.展开更多

The microstructure and phases of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, respectively. The corrosion resistance of MAO coatings was evaluated by electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization in 5% （mass fraction） NaCl solution. The results show that when KMnO4 is added into base electrolyte, the growth speed of oxide coatings is increased obviously. The main phase of oxide coatings is Al2O3, and the contents of MnO2 and MnEA104 phases are increased at the top of oxide coatings with increasing the concentration of KMnO4. The solute elements participate in forming the oxide coatings. When a proper concentration of KMnO4 （2.5 g/L） is added into the base solution, the micropores of the MAO coatings are small and compact, and the corrosion resistance of oxide coatings is increased largely.展开更多

Their bandstructures and average prperties have been obtained. The results show that doping thetransition metal elements can effectively change the band structure and enable the alloysystem to show the stronger metallic feature. The dopants of V, Cr and Mn increase s-orbital component of Ti and Al in bonding orbital, therefore, there is more sphericalelectronic clound and weakly directional bonds in the crystal, which improve the duictil-ity of the alloy, Nb or Ta makes stronger bonding with Ti and Al, which improvestrength and oxidation resistance of the alloy.展开更多
