The Microstructure Evolution and Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior of 7A46 Aluminum Alloy in Different Quenching Conditions.

ABSTRACT: The quenching condition of aluminum alloy can affect the mechanical property and corrosion resistance of the profile. This paper is aimed at the low quench sensitivity of aluminum alloys. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze precipitate behaviors of the 7A46 aluminum alloy under different isothermal cooling conditions and microstructure evolutions of quench-induced precipitations. The effect of the different isothermal time on the corrosion resistance of the alloy, and the relationship between microstructure and corrosion resistance after quenching were revealed through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. Results show that corrosion sensitivity of the quenching-aged alloy is much higher than that of the double-aged (DA) alloy, and the corrosion resistance of the quenched alloy decreases firstly and then increases. Due to the high density of the matrix precipitates, the increased content of the impurity element, the discontinuity of the grain boundary precipitates and the widening of the precipitates free zone, the most serious degree of corrosion performance among the quenched alloys is 295 °C at 800 s, and the self-corrosion potential and self-current density is -0.919 V and 2.371 μA/cm², respectively.

Microstructure Control and Performance Evolution of Aluminum Alloy 7075 by Nano-Treating.

Project description:Nano-treating is a novel concept wherein a low percentage of nanoparticles is used for microstructural control and property tuning in metals and alloys. The nano-treating of AA7075 was investigated to control its microstructure and improve its structural stability for high performance. After treatment with TiC nanoparticles, the grains were significantly refined from coarse dendrites of hundreds of micrometers to fine equiaxial ones smaller than 20??m. After T6 heat treatment, the grains, with an average size of 18.5??m, remained almost unchanged, demonstrating an excellent thermal stability. It was found that besides of growth restriction factor by pinning behavior on grain boundries, TiC nanoparticles served as both an effective nucleation agent for primary grains and an effective secondary phase modifier in AA7075. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of nano-treated AA7075 were improved over those of the pure alloy. Thus, nano-treating provides a new method to enhance the performance of aluminum alloys for numerous applications.

Electrochemical data of single and hybrid sol-gel coating precursors for aluminum alloy corrosion protection in 3.5% NaCl.

Project description:The anti-corrosion performances of single(TEOS) and hybrid (APTES-TEOS) sol-gel coatings on Al alloy samples exposed to 3.5 wt% NaCl were evaluated employing electrochemical techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization. The data acquired using the three corrosion analysis techniques were in accordance with each other where hybrid sol-gel coating offered the lowest corrosion rate and current density in comparison to the single precursor silanol coating. Tafel curves suggested that the hybrid silane coatings mitigate both the anodic and cathodic reactions simultaneously (mixed type inhibitor). These techniques justified that incorporation of hybrid sol-gel improved the Al corrosion protection performance considerably.

Effects of Ce-Rich Mischmetal on Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties of 5182 Aluminum Alloy.

Project description:This paper addresses the effects of Ce-rich mischmetal on the microstructure evolution of a 5182 aluminum alloy during annealing and rolling processes. The Ce-rich mischmetal was added to an as-cast 5182 aluminum alloy in an induction furnace, and this was followed by homogenized annealing at 450 °C for 24 h and a rolling operation. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties' analysis of the 5182 Al alloy were characterized. The results show that the Ce-rich mischmetal could modify the microstructure, refine the α-Al grains, break the network distribution of Mg2Si phases, and prevent Cr and Si atoms from diffusing into the Al6(Mn, Fe) phase in the as-cast 5182 Al alloys. Ce-rich mischmetal elements were also found to refine the Al6(Mn, Fe) phase after cold rolling. Then, the refined Al6(Mn, Fe) particles inhibited the growth of recrystallization grains to refine them from 10.01 to 7.18 μm after cold rolling. Consequently, the tensile strength of the cold-rolled 5182 Al alloy increased from 414.65 to 454.34 MPa through cell-size strengthening, dislocation density strengthening, and particle strengthening. The tensile strength of the recrystallization annealed 5182 Al alloy was increased from 322.16 to 342.73 MPa through grain refinement strengthening, and this alloy was more stable after the recrystallization annealing temperature.

Microstructure and Corrosion of Cast Magnesium Alloy ZK60 in NaCl Solution.

Project description:In this work, the effects of the microstructure and phase constitution of cast magnesium alloy ZK60 (Mg-5.8Zn-0.57Zr, element concentration in wt.%) on the corrosion behavior in aqueous NaCl (0.1 mol dm-3) were investigated by weight-loss measurements, hydrogen evolution tests, and electrochemical techniques. The alloy was found to be composed of ?-Mg matrix, with large second-phase particles of MgZn2 deposited along grain boundaries and a Zr-rich region in the central area of the grains. The large second-phase particles and the Zr-rich regions were more stable than the Mg matrix, resulting in a strong micro-galvanic effect. A filiform corrosion was found. It originated from the second-phase particles in the grain boundary regions in the early corrosion period. The filaments gradually occupied most areas of the alloy surface, and the general corrosion rate decreased significantly. Corrosion pits were developed under filaments. The pit growth rate decreased over time; however, it was about eight times larger than the general corrosion rate. A schematic model is presented to illustrate the corrosion mechanism.

Effect of Microstructure on the Corrosion Resistance of TIG Welded 1579 Alloy.

Project description:The paper studies microstructure, chemical composition and corrosion activity of the tungsten inert gas welded joint of the Al-Mg-Sc alloy. An intensive corrosion attack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) was found due to precipitation of secondary phases at recrystallized grain boundaries. The ccorrosion process initiated along the boundary of ?-Al grains, where a high concentration of anodic (Mg2Si and Mg2Al3) and cathodic phases ((MnFe)Al6) was observed. Increased temperatures during welding led to coalescence of the anodic phases in HAZ. Additionally, HAZ was found to be enriched with hard intermetallic compounds (Mg2Si and (MnFe)Al6). This area had a higher microhardness (930 MPa) compared to base metal (BM, 895 MPa) and fusion zone (FZ, 810 MPa). The volume fraction of secondary phases was 26% in BM, 28% in FZ and 38% in HAZ. The average grain size increased in the following order: (9 ± 3) µm (BM) < (16 ± 3) µm (HAZ) < (21 ± 5) µm (FZ). A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating of aluminum-based material was applied to protect the weld from oxidation. The PEO-coating provided a high corrosion protection in the aggressive Cl--containing environment.

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.

Precipitation during Quenching in 2A97 Aluminum Alloy and the Influences from Grain Structure.

Project description:The quench-induced precipitation and subsequent aging response in 2A97 aluminum alloy was investigated based on the systematic microstructure characterization. Specifically, the influence on precipitation from grain structure was examined. The results indicated the evident influence from the cooling rate of the quenching process. Precipitation of T1 and δ' phase can hardly occur in the specimen exposed to water quenching while become noticeable in the case of air cooling. The yield strength of 2A97-T6 alloy de-graded by 234 MPa along with a comparable elongation when water quenching was replaced by air cooling. Sub-grains exhibited a much higher sensitivity to the precipitation during quenching. The presence of dislocations in sub-grains promoted the quench-induced precipitation by acting as nucleation sites and enhancing the diffusion of the solute. A quenching rate of 3 °C/s is tolerable for recrystallized grains in 2A97 Al alloy but is inadequate for sub-grains to inhibit precipitation. The study fosters the feasibility of alleviating quench-induced precipitation through cultivating the recrystallization structure in highly alloyed Al-Cu-Li alloys.

Significance of Zn Complex Concentration on Microstructure Evolution and Corrosion Behavior of Al/WS<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Corrosion is a harmful processes which by definition is a chemical or electrochemical reaction between a substance (usually a metal) and the environment which leads to a change in the properties of the substance and has destructive effects. In this study, new composites consisting of Al/WS2/ZnTerp-2TH with 5 and 10 wt.% ZnTerp-2TH were prepared and the results were fully compared. Al/WS2 played the role of matrix and ZnTerp-2TH played the role of reinforcement. In other words, as a novelty to prevent the corrosion of Al/WS2, ZnTerp-2TH is designed and synthesized and showed good results when the corrosion ratio was reduced by the existence of ZnTerp-2TH. Furthermore, the NMR and mass analysis of ZnTerp-2TH were carried out, and the thermal properties, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, morphology, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis and corrosion behavior of the composites were also discussed in detail. The crystal size values of composites were calculated by the modified Scherrer method 34, 26 and 27 nm for Al/WS2, Al/WS2/5 wt.% ZnTerp-2TH and Al/WS2/10 wt.% ZnTerp-2TH, respectively. The microstructural examination of the specimens showed that the reinforcing phase (ZnTerp-2TH) has a favorable distribution on the surface of Al/WS2 when it covers the cracks and holes. In addition, the corrosion investigation results showed that the addition of ZnTerp-2TH to Al/WS2 can improve the corrosion resistance when the Ecorr and Icorr values of Al/WS2/10 wt.% ZnTerp-2TH were recorded in tandem -724 mV/decade and 5 uA cm-2.

Investigation of the Microstructure, Hardness and Corrosion Resistance of a New 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn Dental Alloy.

Project description:Higher-noble dental alloys (Au, Ag, and Pd) are the most desirable for dentistry applications, but they are expensive. Low-noble (Ag, Pd, Cu) dental alloys are alternatives to higher-noble ones due to their lower price. In this regard, the paper supports the price lowering of dental alloy by increasing the Cu content, i.e., a new 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn dental alloy. The increasing addition of the Cu leads to a complex structure consisting of a solid solution that engulfs compounds of micrometric and nanometric sizes. The 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn has demonstrated a much better electrochemical corrosion behavior in artificial saliva compared to the Paliag and Unique White dental alloys. The improved corrosion behavior of the new alloy is supported by the diminishing of the Cu selective diffusion into the electrolyte due to its retaining into compounds and into Ag-Pd solid solution. Also, the synergic effects of Cu, Zn, In, Sn may improve the corrosion resistance, but they have strengthened the 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn matrix. The main finding addressed in the paper consists in a new 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn dental alloy with improved corrosion resistance in artificial saliva.

Microstructure and Selective Corrosion of Alloy 625 Obtained by Means of Laser Powder Bed Fusion.

Project description:The effect of microstructure on the susceptibility to selective corrosion of Alloy 625 produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process was investigated through intergranular corrosion tests according to ASTM G28 standard. The effect of heat treatment on selective corrosion susceptibility was also evaluated. The behavior was compared to commercial hot-worked, heat treated Grade 1 Alloy 625. The morphology of attack after boiling ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test according to ASTM G28 standard is less penetrating for LPBF 625 alloy compared to hot-worked and heat-treated alloy both in as-built condition and after heat treatment. The different attack morphology can be ascribed to the oversaturation of the alloying elements in the nickel austenitic matrix obtained due to the very high cooling rate. On as-built specimens, a shallow selective attack of the border of the melt pools was observed, which disappeared after the heat treatment. The results confirmed similar intergranular corrosion susceptibility, but different corrosion morphologies were detected. The results are discussed in relation to the unique microstructures of LPBF manufactured alloys.
