This study investigates the influence of Fe/Si ratios and cooling rates during solidification on phase transformations and microstructure evolution in AlMgZn(Cu) crossover alloys, aiming to increase recycling content and maintain processability. Thermodynamic simulations, coupled with experimental validation, reveal two critical phase transformations during homogenization: the 6-to-3 transformation (Al<sub>6</sub>(Fe,Mn) → Al<sub>13</sub>(Fe,Mn)<sub>4</sub>) and the 6-to-α transformation (Al<sub>6</sub>(Fe,Mn) → Al(Fe,Mn)Si). These transformations are governed by the Fe/Si ratio and cooling rate, significantly affecting intermetallic phase morphology. The 6-to-3 transformation can effectively decrease the size of intermetallic particles, facilitating processability in relevant industrial conditions. Higher cooling rates upon solidification (≈60 K/s) always result in small, spheroidized phases, ensuring rollability. In contrast, slow cooling rates (≤1 K/s) often promote coarse, stable phases that hinder processability. However, at cooling rates around 3 K/s the intermetallic phase morphology highly depends on the Fe/Si ratio. When Fe and Si levels are simultaneously high, the 6-to-α transformation yields hard-shell/soft-core structures that impair mechanical integrity, while a higher ratio governs a beneficial 6-to-3 transformation. This study provides new insights into impurity-induced phase transformations and their role in determining processability in industrially relevant conditions. By linking microstructural control to sustainable alloy design, the results serve as a foundation for the development of crossover aluminum alloys optimized for high scrap content.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Manufacturing Processes","volume":"150 ","pages":"Pages 1178-1193"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144588668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the WC particles gradually melted (unmelted WC → slightly melted WC → completely melted WC) through two erosive effects: edge melting and internal infiltration of the nickel-based solvent. Microcracks initiate in the edge melting and internal infiltration regions of the WC particles, whereas fine eutectic carbides help prevent crack extension.

Among advanced materials, aluminized 30MnB5 steel, with tensile strengths exceeding 1.8 GPa, provides a compelling combination of crash safety enhancement and weight reduction. However, its mechanical properties are highly sensitive to processing conditions, necessitating systematic optimization. This study introduces an integrated Process Window (PW) that incorporates heating, transfer, and cooling stages to ensure efficient and reliable manufacturing. Experimental results identified 870 °C as the optimal heating temperature for 30MnB5 steel. At this temperature, the steel achieved a tensile strength exceeding 1.8 GPa, a yield strength of approximately 1.2 GPa, and an elongation of 6.8 %. Additionally, the interdiffusion layer thickness in the Al-Si coating was reduced to approximately 3.8 μm, the prior austenite grain size was refined to 9.6 μm, and hydrogen absorption was suppressed by about 45 % compared to higher heating temperatures. These conditions collectively enhance weldability and ensure consistent mechanical performance. The sheet thickness was shown to significantly influence thermal behavior, impacting heating times, ambient exposure, and die-cooling. The derived temperature-time relationship functions enable tailored process adjustments to achieve consistent strength and formability across varying sheet thicknesses. Unlike conventional PW, which primarily addresses heating conditions, the proposed integrated PW encompasses the entire hot stamping process. It aims to reduce inefficiencies and improve process stability.
