摘要
研究了不同Al含量(0,2%,3.5%,5%,质量分数)对压铸Mg-10Zn合金的热裂敏感系数(H_(TS))及显微组织的影响。结果表明,随着Al含量增加,合金的热裂敏感系数逐渐降低;结合热力学计算(Pandat8.0)Mg-10Zn-yAl合金的凝固行为,发现热裂敏感系数随合金凝固区间减小和末期液相体积分数的增加而降低,可有效判断合金热裂敏感系数变化趋势。显微组织分析表明,Al可有效细化铸态Mg-10Zn合金的晶粒尺寸。随Al含量增加,合金中第二相数量增加。压铸态Mg-10Zn合金的第二相主要为Mg_5Zn_2,Mg-10Zn-yAl合金的第二相为Mg_(62~69)Zn_(22~25)Al_(6~16)准晶相(I相)。
Hot tearing susceptibility(H_(TS))and microstructure evolution of die casting Mg-10Zn-yAl(y=0,2,3.5,5)alloys(ZA series alloys)were investigated.The H_(TS)of alloys was investigated using rod die casting mold and it was determined based on the location and quantity of cracks in the rods.The H_(TS)results show that Al is effective to improve the hot tearing resistance of ZA series alloys.The H_(TS)of ZA105 alloy reaches the lowest value.Thermodynamic calculation software(Pandat8.0)was used to calculate solidification paths of ZA series alloys.The results reveal that the correlation between H_(TS) and Flep(liquid fraction at the end of primary solidification)is negative,while it between H_(TS) and F_(TR)(freezing temperature range)is positive.Microstructure analysis by EDS and XRD confirms that Al addition can refine effectively the grain size in the Mg-10Zn alloy.With increasing in Al addition,the amounts of secondary phase are increased,where the secondary phase is mainly Mg_5Zn_2 in the ascast Mg-10Zn alloy and it is mainly quasicrystal phase(Mg_(62~69)Zn_(22~25)Al_(6~16))in the other alloys.
