Simultaneous increase in strength and ductility by decreasing interface energy between Zn and Al phases in cast Al-Zn-Cu alloy.

Project description:Cast-Al alloys that include a high amount of the second element in their matrix have comparatively high strength but low ductility because of the high volume fraction of strengthening phases or undesirable inclusions. Al-Zn alloys that have more than 30?wt% Zn have a tensile strength below 300?MPa, with elongation under 5% in the as-cast state. However, we found that after substitution of 2% Zn by Cu, the tensile strength of as-cast Al-Zn-Cu alloys was 25% higher and ductility was four times higher than for the corresponding Al-35% Zn alloy. Additionally, for the Al-43% Zn alloy with 2% Cu after 1?h solution treatment at 400?°C and water quenching, the tensile strength unexpectedly reached values close to 600?MPa. For the Al-33% Zn alloy with 2% Cu, the tensile strength was 500?MPa with 8% ductility. The unusual trends of the mechanical properties of Al-Zn alloys with Cu addition observed during processing from casting to the subsequent solution treatment were attributed to the precipitation of Zn in the Al matrix. The interface energy between the Zn particles and the Al matrix decreased when using a solution of Cu in Zn.

Study on Mg/Al Weld Seam Based on Zn-Mg-Al Ternary Alloy.

Project description:Based on the idea of alloying welding seams, a series of Zn-xAl filler metals was calculated and designed for joining Mg/Al dissimilar metals by gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding. An infrared thermography system was used to measure the temperature of the welding pool during the welding process to investigate the solidification process. It was found that the mechanical properties of the welded joints were improved with the increasing of the Al content in the Zn-xAl filler metals, and when Zn-30Al was used as the filler metal, the ultimate tensile strength could reach a maximum of 120 MPa. The reason for the average tensile strength of the joint increasing was that the weak zone of the joint using Zn-30Al filler metal was generated primarily by α-Al instead of MgZn2. When Zn-40Al was used as the filler metal, a new transition zone, about 20 μm-wide, appeared in the edge of the fusion zone near the Mg base metal. Due to the transition zones consisting of MgZn₂- and Al-based solid solution, the mechanical property of the joints was deteriorated.

Experimental Parametric Model for Indirect Adhesion Wear Measurement in the Dry Turning of UNS A97075 (Al-Zn) Alloy.

Project description:In this work, the study of the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut) on the tool wear used in in the dry turning of cylindrical bars of the UNS A97075 (Al-Zn) alloy, has been analyzed. In addition, a study of the physicochemical mechanisms of the secondary adhesion wear has been carried out. The behavior of this alloy, from the point of view of tool wear, has been compared to similar aeronautical aluminum alloys, such as the UNS A92024 (Al-Cu) alloy and UNS A97050 (Al-Zn) alloy. Furthermore, a first approach to the measurement of the 2D surface of the adhered material on the rake face of the tool has been conducted. Finally, a parametric model has been developed from the experimental results. This model allows predicting the intensity of the secondary adhesion wear as a function of the cutting parameters applied.

Developing of nano sized fibrous eutectic silicon in hypereutectic Al-Si alloy by laser remelting.

Project description:Laser surface melting followed by rapid solidification is an effective means to produce very fine microstructures with desirable surface properties because of the high rates of cooling associated with it. In the present study, the effect of rapid cooling on the silicon particle size, distribution, and morphology of hypereutectic Al-17wt.%Si and Al-20wt.%Si alloys have been investigated. A continuous-wave CO2 laser of wavelength 10.6 ?m and a Trumpf Yb-YAG disk laser of wavelength 1.030 ?m were used with a beam diameter of 1 mm and scanning speeds ranging from 5 to 100 mm/s. Rapid solidification increased the solubility of silicon in aluminum to approximately 5wt% and induced non-equilibrium hypoeutectic microstructures comprising large volume fractions of primary ?-Al dendrites and ultrafine Al-Si eutectic of lamellar morphology. Both ?-Al dendrites and the silicon particle sizes were significantly reduced from micron to nanoscale level. The morphology of silicon particles is modified from massive polygonal and plate-like to a mixture of fine flakes with round corners, feathery and fibrous, or a coral-like and thread-like structure. The eutectic silicon size and the interlamellar spacing were reduced to 30 and 10 nm, respectively. Furthermore, most of the silicon crystals in the eutectic region and the aluminum dendrites contained a significant number of twins which were considered as an essential contributor to the mechanism of growth and branching. Microhardness values increased two to threefold due to the refinement of the microstructural constituent.

Characterisation of a High-Performance Al-Zn-Mg-Cu Alloy Designed for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing.

Project description:Ever-increasing demands of industrial manufacturing regarding mechanical properties require the development of novel alloys designed towards the respective manufacturing process. Here, we consider wire arc additive manufacturing. To this end, Al alloys with additions of Zn, Mg and Cu have been designed considering the requirements of good mechanical properties and limited hot cracking susceptibility. The samples were produced using the cold metal transfer pulse advanced (CMT-PADV) technique, known for its ability to produce lower porosity parts with smaller grain size. After material simulations to determine the optimal heat treatment, the samples were solution heat treated, quenched and aged to enhance their mechanical performance. Chemical analysis, mechanical properties and microstructure evolution were evaluated using optical light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis and X-ray radiography, as well as tensile, fatigue and hardness tests. The objective of this research was to evaluate in detail the mechanical properties and microstructure of the newly designed high-performance Al-Zn-based alloy before and after ageing heat treatment. The only defects found in the parts built under optimised conditions were small dispersed porosities, without any visible cracks or lack of fusion. Furthermore, the mechanical properties are superior to those of commercial 7xxx alloys and remarkably independent of the testing direction (parallel or perpendicular to the deposit beads). The presented analyses are very promising regarding additive manufacturing of high-strength aluminium alloys.

Precipitation of a new platelet phase during the quenching of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy.

Project description:A previously undescribed high aspect ratio strengthening platelet phase, herein named the Y-phase, has been identified in a commercial Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that this phase only precipitates at temperature and cooling rate of about 150-250 °C and 0.05-300 K/s, respectively. This precipitate is shown to be responsible for a noticeable improvement in mechanical properties. Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy demonstrates the minimal thickness (~1.4 nm) precipitate plates are isostructural to those of the T1 (Al2CuLi) phase observed in Al-Cu-Li alloys. Low voltage chemical analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy gives evidence of the spatial partitioning of the Al, Cu and Zn within the Y-phase, as well as demonstrating the incorporation of a small amount of Mg.

Rare Earth Element Yttrium Modified Mg-Al-Zn Alloy: Microstructure, Degradation Properties and Hardness.

Project description:The overly-fast degradation rates of magnesium-based alloys in the biological environment have limited their applications as biodegradable bone implants. In this study, rare earth element yttrium (Y) was introduced into AZ61 magnesium alloy (Mg-6Al-1Zn wt %) to control the degradation rate by laser rapid melting. The results showed that the degradation rate of AZ61 magnesium alloy was slowed down by adding Y. This was attributed to the reduction of Mg17Al12 phase and the formation of Al₂Y phase that has a more active potential, which decreased galvanic corrosion resulting from its coupling with the anodic matrix phase. Meanwhile, the hardness increased as Y contents increased due to the uniform distribution of the Al₂Y and Mg17Al12 phases. However, as the Y contents increased further, the formation of excessive Al₂Y phase resulted in the increasing of degradation rate and the decreasing of hardness due to its agglomeration.

Dataset of spark plasma sintering of Al-Zn-Sn alloy for soft solder application.

Project description:The conventional soft solder used in soldering electronic joints is made up of 63% Sn and 37% Pb. It has been established that Pb is harmful to the body. Therefore, there is an on-going research to find a replacement for Pb. Al-Zn-Sn alloy is considered here as a possible replacement for soft solder of Sn and Pb. Three compositions of the alloy (Al-7Zn-3Sn, Al-10Zn-5Sn, and Al-13Zn-7Sn) were sintered at the sintering temperatures of 300 °C and 350 °C (and the constant pressure of 40 MPa, time of 5 mins, a heating rate of 20 °C/mins). Temperature/displacement/time variation data during the sintering were collected. The three alloys were compared after sintering by checking their microstructure, their densities, their hardness, their porosity, and their tensile strengths. Results showed that Al-13Zn-7Sn sintered at 350 °C, 40 MPa, 5 mins, 20 °C/mins had the highest densification of 99.7%, the lowest porosity of 0.3%, least hardness and strength of 450.34 MPa and 147.84 MPa respectively.

Dynamic Shear Deformation of a Precipitation Hardened Al<sub>0.7</sub>CoCrFeNi Eutectic High-Entropy Alloy Using Hat-Shaped Specimen Geometry.

Project description:Lamellar eutectic structure in Al0.7CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) is emerging as a promising candidate for structural applications because of its high strength-ductility combination. The alloy consists of a fine-scale lamellar fcc + B2 microstructure with high flow stresses > 1300 MPa under quasi-static tensile deformation and >10% ductility. The response to shear loading was not investigated so far. This is the first report on the shear deformation of a eutectic structured HEA and effect of precipitation on shear deformation. A split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to compress the hat-shaped specimens to study the local dynamic shear response of the alloy. The change in the width of shear bands with respect to precipitation and deformation rates was studied. The precipitation of L12 phase did not delay the formation of adiabatic shear bands (ASB) or affect the ASB width significantly, however, the deformed region around ASB, consisting of high density of twins in fcc phase, was reduced from 80 µm to 20 µm in the stronger precipitation strengthened condition. We observe dynamic recrystallization of grains within ASBs and local mechanical response of individual eutectic lamellae before and after shear deformation and within the shear bands was examined using nano-indentation.

Microstructure Evolution and Localized Corrosion Susceptibility of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr 7xxx Alloy with Minor Cr Addition.

Project description:Microstructure optimization of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr aluminum alloys, particularly through recrystallization inhibition, for improved strength and corrosion resistance properties has been an important consideration in alloy development for aerospace applications. Addition of rare earth elements, sometimes combined with Cr, has been found to be beneficial in this regard. In this study, the role of a single addition of 0.1 wt.% Cr on microstructure evolution of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr (7449) alloy during processing was systematically investigated by optical light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Susceptibility to localized corrosion after aging to T4, T6 and T76 conditions was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) measurements and an intergranular corrosion (IGC) test. A decrease in recrystallized fraction with 0.1 wt.% Cr addition was observed, which is attributed to the formation of Cu- and Zn-containing E (Al18Mg3Cr2) dispersoids and the larger as-cast grain size. Moreover, the depletion of alloying elements from solid solution due to the formation of the Cu- and Zn-containing E (Al18Mg3Cr2) dispersoids and η Mg(Zn,Cu,Al)2 phase at its interface affects grain-boundary precipitation. The observed decrease in localized corrosion susceptibility with minor Cr addition is correlated with the microstructure and equally discussed.
