形变热处理LC4铝合金强度及应力腐蚀性能的研究

一、引言 应力腐蚀开裂敏感及疲劳强度较低,是高强度铝合金应用中面临的两个主要问题。应力腐蚀造成的低应力破断,常常引起灾难性后果。虽然过时效处理可以显著改善应力腐蚀敏感性,但同时也使合金的强度比时效峰状态有所降低,因此,不能充分发挥材料的性能潜力。形变热处理可以提高高强铝合金的强度,但对该类合金应力腐蚀及疲劳强度的影响,尚缺乏深入研究。     

显微组织对Al-Mg-Si合金断裂行为的影响

 <正> The hardness, tensile strength and fatigue properties of an Al-Mg-Si alloy were measured in this paper. The microstructures were observed using a transmission electron microscope. The tensile and fatigue fractures were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the microstructure affects the fracture behavior of the alloy markedly. The alloy exhibits dimpled fracture in UA and OA conditions, and mixed fracture with dimples and intergranular rupture in PA condition. The fatigue cracks were developed with the features of the alloy in UA condition. The cracks were developed with the second stage mode and the striations could be seen on the surface of the fractures for the alloy in PA and OA conditions. But the intergranular fracture and facets could also be seen in the crack initiation area at these conditions.
