Hydrogen is the only gas that is appreciably soluble in aluminum and its alloy. Its solubility is small but its effects on the mechanical properties and finishing characteristics of aluminum alloys are significant. In this paper, a patented degassing process, which is based on the vacuum metallurgy principle, is proposed. The diffusion equation was used for explaining hydrogen transfer in the liquid aluminum under the function of a porous sucking head. RPT experiment was carried out to evaluate effectiveness of the process. The experiment indicates that the hydrogen content can be dramatically reduced to 0.05ml/100gAl owing to the use of this new process.

This paper analyses effects of boiling treatment of aluminum alloys (Al–(5-10)% Cu and Al–(5-10)% Si) in oxidizing atmosphere on their microstructure, hydrogen content and coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLE). Boiling treatment was conducted in water solutions of KMnO4and KOH. Following an increase of boiling time from 15 to 75 hours hydrogen content in alloys first increases and then decreases which correlates with the dynamics of alloys’ microstructure and their coefficient of linear expansion. This study shows that atmosphere with high oxygen content induces acceleration of diffusion processes in aluminum alloys. If boiling time does not exceed 30 hours, hydrogen content in solid solution and etchability of grain boundaries of α-solid solution decrease and intermediate phases get partially dissolved. In our empirical study we demonstrated that boiling treatment of aluminum alloys in oxidizing atmosphere in the range of test temperatures 50-450°С leads to a reduction of the coefficient of linear expansion. The decrease of the coefficient of linear expansion is especially strong in the temperature range of 250-350°С. In particular, after boiling treatment of alloys Al–(5-10)% Cu in oxidizing athmosphere in the temperature range of 50–250°С their coefficient of linear expansion goes down by 10-12%. For alloys Al–(5-10)% Si boiling has a stronger effect on the coefficient of linear expansion – in the temperature range 250-350°С the CLE of these alloys decreases by 24-28%.

X-ray microanalysis and Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBD) studies were conducted to characterize the second phase particles in two commercial aluminum alloys -- 7075 and 7475. The second phase particles studied were large (approximately 2-5μm) constituent phases and relatively fine ( ∼ 0.05-1μn) dispersoid particles, Figures 1A and B. Based on the crystal structure and chemical composition analyses, the constituent phases found in these alloys were identified to be Al7Cu2Fe, (Al,Cu)6(Fe,Cu), α-Al12Fe3Si, Mg2Si, amorphous silicon oxide and the modified 6Fe compounds, in decreasing order of abundance. The results of quantitative X-ray microanalysis of all the constituent phases are listed in Table I. The data show that, in almost all the phases, partial substitution of alloying elements occurred resulting in small deviations from the published stoichiometric compositions of the binary and ternary compounds.

Powder metallurgy (P/M) process has the advantage of better formability to fabricate complex shape products without machining and welding. And recently this P/M process has been applied to the production of aluminum alloys. The P/M aluminum alloys thus produced also have received considerable interest because of their fine and homogeneous structure. Many papers have been published on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys produced by P/M process while there have been few on their corrosion properties from the view point of electrochemistry. In this experiment, therefore, two kinds of 7075 aluminum alloys prepared by the conventional ingot metallurgy (I/M) process and P/M process were used, I/M material is commercially available. and their corrosion behavior were investigated through the electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarization test, slow rate strain tensile (SSRT) test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement under SSRT test in the corrosion solution and the deionized water.
