The over-burnt temperature of a new Al-Mg-Si-Cu Aluminum alloy was studied by means of DSC and microstructure analysis, as a result of the homogenization temperature being obtained. A favorable homogenization time was got by the way of the dependence of area fractions of remnant phases on homogenization time being calculated. According to experimentation results, the over-burnt temperature of the new Al-Mg-Si-Cu Aluminum alloy was 570°C, and the way to homogenize the new alloy at 560°C for 24h was excellemt.

AbstractThe microstructure evolution of aluminum alloy 2618 and its homogenization kinetics were investigated by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimeter. The results show that the main constituent phases in as-cast alloy 2618 are α–Al, Al9FeNi phase and non-equilibrium binary θ (Al2Cu) phase instead of typical S (Al2CuMg) phase. The θ phase was dissolved into α–Al gradually and the continuous dendritic-network structure was broken with the increase of homogenization temperature and time. DSC analysis shows that the overburnt and liquidus temperatures of as-cast alloy 2618 are 506.4 °C and 638.0 °C, respectively. After the alloy was homogenized at optimized temperature 500 °C for 16 h, the θ phase was completely dissolved in matrix. The size and morphology of Al9FeNi phase had little change, while the liquidus temperature shifted to 641 °C. The calculated homogenization time for alloy 2618 at 500 °C is 15 h, which is in accordance with that obtained in homogenization experiments.

It is the objective of this study to investigate the effect of ECAP processing and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the UFG 7075 alloy. Also the effect of post ECAP heat treatment is investigated. The alloy is processed by ECAP after annealing as well as solution treatment to produce an UFG structure. Furthermore mechanical properties and their variations during annealing and aging are investigated. The hardness of the pre-ECAP annealed and the pre-ECAP solutionised 7075 aluminum alloy has increased significantly compared with that of the CG sample. Also hardness of ECAPed specimen has not experienced significant changes in post-ECAP heat treatment and indicated that the alloy had approximately good thermal stability.

The effects of severe plastic deformation (SPD) by isothermal rolling at the temperature of liquid nitrogen combined with prior- and post-SPD heat treatment, on microstructure and hardness of Al-4.4%Cu-1.4%Mg-0.7%Mn (D16) alloy were investigated. It was found no nanostructuring even after straining to 75%. Сryodeformation leads to microshear banding and processing the high-density dislocation substructures with a cell size of ~ 100-200 nm. Such a structure remains almost stable under 1 hr annealing up to 200oC and with further temperature increase initially transforms to bimodal with a small fraction of nanograins and then to uniform coarse grained one. It is found the change in the alloy post–SPD aging response leading to more active decomposition of the preliminary supersaturated aluminum solid solution, and to the alloy extra hardening under aging with shorter times and at lower temperatures compared to T6 temper.
