摘要
摘要:采用液氮温度下的表面滑动摩擦处理,在Al- cu - mg合金(Al 2024)表面制备了梯度纳米结构的表面层。时效处理后,在表层实现了前所未有的时效硬化,其显微硬度值>320 HV,是传统沉淀硬化(150 HV)的两倍多,远高于此前报道的合金最大值(280 HV)。透射电镜和原子探针层析成像分析表明,在变形的表面层形成纳米晶粒结构,导致时效过程中Cu和Mg的偏析增强到狭窄的晶界,从而抑制了析出。晶界偏析的增强而不是沉淀被认为是导致大量时效硬化的原因,尽管晶界偏析导致的潜在硬化机制需要进一步研究。
Unprecedented Age-Hardening and its Structural Requirement in a Severely Deformed Al-Cu-Mg Alloy
Abstract A gradient nanostructured surface layer was produced in an Al-Cu-Mg alloy (Al 2024) by means of a surface sliding friction treatment carried out at liquid nitrogen temperature. After aging treatment, unprecedented age-hardening was achieved at the surface layer, where microhardness values of >320 HV, more than twice that achievable by conventional precipitation hardening (150 HV), and well above the previously reported maximum value (280 HV) for this alloy, were achieved. Transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography analysis revealed that the formation of a nanograin structure at the deformed surface layer resulted in enhanced segregation of Cu and Mg during aging to narrowly spaced grain boundaries, with a corresponding suppression of precipitation. The enhanced grain boundary segregation instead of precipitation is considered to be responsible for the substantial age-hardening, although the underlying hardening mechanisms resulting from grain boundary segregation require further investigation.
