Abstract
This study investigates the effect of pre-deformation by cold rolling after solution annealing on the microstructure and properties of the fine-grained Al-Li alloy 2A97. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize grain boundaries, dislocations, precipitates and calculate their contribution to strength. It is found that the changes in precipitation behavior predominantly account for the enhanced tensile properties observed in the deformed alloys, where yield and tensile strengths are increased by 85 MPa and 63 MPa, respectively. The peak-aged samples without pre-deformation are mainly strengthened by the T1 phase, δ'/θ'/δ' composite and σ phase. In contrast, deformation of 10 % prior to aging facilitates the precipitation of the T1 and lath-like S phases while concurrently inhibiting the precipitation of the σ phase and δ'/θ'/δ' composite phases. In addition, for fine-grained alloys, low-angle grain boundaries induce the precipitation of the finer T1 phase compared to the T1 phase located inside the grain, which contributes to the good performance of 2A97 alloy.
期刊介绍:
Micron is an interdisciplinary forum for all work that involves new applications of microscopy or where advanced microscopy plays a central role. The journal will publish on the design, methods, application, practice or theory of microscopy and microanalysis, including reports on optical, electron-beam, X-ray microtomography, and scanning-probe systems. It also aims at the regular publication of review papers, short communications, as well as thematic issues on contemporary developments in microscopy and microanalysis. The journal embraces original research in which microscopy has contributed significantly to knowledge in biology, life science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science and engineering.
