The solution-treated Al-Zn alloy exhibits high thermal stability during aging, and low densities of nano-sized Zn particles are precipitated along with AI grain boundaries after aging at 200℃ for 13 h. Compared with static precipitation, dynamic precipitation occurs more easily in the Al-Zn alloy. Zn clusters are obtained after cold rolling at an equivalent plastic strain of 0.6, and the size of the Zn phase reaches hundreds of nanometers when the strain is increased to 12.1. The results show that the speed of static precipitation can be significantly enhanced after the application of 2.9 rolling strain. Grain refinement and defects induced by cold rolling are considered to promote Zn precipitation. The hardness of Al-Zn alloy is also affected by static and dynamic precipitations.展开更多

The Vickers microhardness of NiAl and Ni3Al intermetaUic compounds is larger than that of the substrate, which is beneficial for improving the wear property. Wear mechanism exhibits features of adhesive wear. Friction and wear test results indicate that the wet friction coefficient is higher than the coefficient of dry friction after 200 cycles, and variations of the wet friction coefficient are relatively smaller.展开更多
