摘要
基于热分析结果,对AM50-4%(Zn,Y)(Zn/Y摩尔比为6:1)合金设计并实施一种两步递进固溶处理。利用OM、XRD、SEM/EDS、TEM、拉伸实验和硬度实验研究固溶与时效处理对AM50-4%(Zn,Y)合金组织与力学性能的影响。结果表明:与一步固溶处理相比,两步递进固溶处理能够使Φ和β相充分溶解于基体,获得更高的溶质过饱和度,从而一定程度上增强合金在后续时效处理中的弥散强化效果。在180°C进行时效处理时,Φ相析出对合金综合力学性能的影响要大于β相。经两步递进固溶处理(345°C, 16 h+375°C, 6 h)的AM50-4%(Zn,Y)合金在时效处理(180°C, 12 h)后获得峰时效强度。
AM50-4%(Zn,Y) alloy with a Zn/Y mole ratio of 6:1 was subjected to thermal analysis, and the results were used for designing a two-step progressive solution treatment process. The effects of solution and aging treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AM50-4%(Zn,Y) alloy were investigated using OM, XRD, SEM/EDS, TEM, tensile test and hardness test. The experimental results demonstrated that the two-step progressive solution treatment could make the Φ and β phases sufficiently dissolve into the matrix which possessed higher supersaturated degree of the dissolved solute compared with the one-step solution treatment. This resulted in a certain enhancement of the precipitation strengthening effect during the subsequent aging process. The precipitation of the Ф phase had a greater impact on the comprehensive mechanical properties of the alloy than β phase precipitation when the aging treatment was performed at 180 °C. The peak aging strength of the AM50-4%(Zn,Y) alloy which was subjected to the two-step progressive solution treatment process (345 °C for 16 h and 375 °C for 6 h) was obtained after the aging treatment at 180 °C for 12 h.
