Synergy improved the strength and ductility of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Fe alloys via coupling control of solute gradient and multi-scale precipitates
This work systematically examined the effects of various heat treatments on the precipitation characteristics of heterogeneous-structured Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Fe alloys. The findings demonstrate that the gradient solute atom distribution characteristics in hetero-structured alloys significantly influence the aging precipitate development of the alloys. Furthermore, the newly developed non-isothermal aging (NIA) can dramatically shorten the peak aging time and enhance the strength without compromising its ductility. The key to improving the properties of the heterogeneous-structured alloy involves forming intragranular multi-scale precipitates and discontinuous phases at grain boundaries while greatly eliminating precipitation-free zones along the boundaries. Additionally, the precipitation mechanisms of heterogeneous-structured alloys during both isothermal aging (IA) and NIA treatments are systematically described in this work.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
