The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicate that the Ce conversion films consist of Al 2O 3, CeO 2 and Ce 2O 3(Ce(OH) 3), and CeO 2/Ce 2O 3 ratio decreases with the immersion time. When a critical pH for Ce(OH) 3 formation was reached, Ce(OH) 3 will precipitate on the micro cathodic area on alloy surface. Consequently, H 2O 2, the product of the catholic reaction will oxidize a part of Ce(OH) 3 to CeO 2, which appears a better corrosion resistance for Al alloys.展开更多

Testing in short-term loading condition MYS value corresponding to micro-plastic strain of 1 *10m^(-5)in longitudinal direction is 1.4 times than that in transverse.Compared with the results of MYS and dimensional change in thermal cycling and unloading conditions, the values in T6 state are higher than that in T4 state. Using TEM the microstructures before micro-plastic deformation were observed.The analyses confirm that stability of thermodynamics condition and dislocation results in dimensional stability of the alloy.展开更多

The experimental results indicate that an optimum applied pressure followed by an optimum diffusion annealing process can markedly reduce the degree of microsegregation and improve the mechanical properties to a degree that can approach the level of forged 2024 Al alloy.展开更多

The microstructure, fracture morphologies, and mechanical properties of joint were investigated. The results show that Mg-Al intermetallic compounds can be avoided by the process. But, a small quantity of porosity is found in the joint. The sheafing strength of joint interface adjacent to magnesium alloy is 35.4 MPa for formation of Mg-Sn intermetallic compounds, which is about 46 % of that of filler metal. While, the shearing strength of joint interfaces adjacent to aluminum alloy is 70.4 MPa for formation of Zn-Sn-Al solid solution, which is about 92 % of that of filler metal.展开更多

The effects of the brazing temperature on microstructure and shear strength of the joint were investigated. The diffusion zone is found at joint interface near Al base metal, which consists of Al-Zn-Sn solid solution. At the same time, continuous intermetallic compounds （IMCs） phase and broken ones are found at joint interface near Mg base metal, which mainly consists of the Mg2Sn phase. With the increase of the brazing temperature, the shear strength at the joint interface near A1 base metal rises gradually. On the contrary, that of the joint interface near Mg base metal obviously decreases.展开更多
