This study investigated the effects of the Si content on the tensile properties and machinability of 6xxx−series aluminum alloys for application in hydrogen container valve housing. Four types of extruded Al−Mg−Si−Cu−Mn−Cr alloy specimens with different Si contents of 0.6−3.0 mass% were prepared. The effects of the Si content on characteristics such as microstructural features, tensile strength, and drill machinability were examined and compared with those of a commercial A6061 alloy. These specimens were found to exhibit different microstructures, tensile strengths, and chip segmentation behaviors after T6 heat treatment. These results were attributed to the interaction of the amount of second phase particles and solid-solute Mn and Cr with changes in the Si content.

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.

AbstractPrecipitation-hardened aluminium alloys typically obtain their strength by forming second-phase particles, which, however, often have a negative effect on formability. To enable both lightweight construction and forming of complex parts such as body panels, high strength and formability are required simultaneously. Cluster hardening is a promising approach to achieve this. Here, we show that short thermal spikes, denoted as up-quenching, increase aging kinetics, which we attribute to the repeated process of vacancies being formed at high temperatures and retained when cooled to lower temperatures. Combined with further heat treatment, the up-quenching process promotes rapid and extensive cluster formation in Al-Mg-Si alloys, which in turn generates significant strengthening at industrially relevant heat treatment time scales. The high elongation values also observed are attributed to reduced solute depleted zones along grain boundaries.

The Mean

The effects of annealing at 570oC and 640oC on the microstructural and corrosion characteristics for Zr-1.0Nb-1.0Sn-0.1Fe alloy were elucidated. After annealing at 570oC below the temperature of a monotectoid reaction in the Zr-Nb system, both orthorhombic Zr3Fe and the bcc b-Nb particles were uniformly found and the mean size of the second phase particles was increased with an increasing of the annealing time. In the case of an annealing at 640oC for 2 h above the monotectoid reaction temperature, the Zr3Fe was observed intermittently and after a longer annealing of 1000 h the b-Zr particles were well developed. The corrosion resistance after the 570oC anneal was improved as the annealing time increased, while that after the 640oC anneal decreased as the annealing time increased. The fraction of the tetragonal phase within the ZrO2 oxide increased as the corrosion resistance was improved. It was concluded that the equilibrium Nb concentration and the formation of the tetragonal ZrO2 due to the b-Nb phase would lead to improving the corrosion resistance of the alloy.

The effects of the copper content on the bendability of Al-Mg-Si alloy T4 sheets were investigated. The Al-Mg-Si alloys with less than 0.01mass%Cu, 0.4mass%Cu and 0.8mass%Cu were prepared, and the time of solution heat treatment was changed to obtain different dispersion conditions of the second phase particles and to obtain different shear band formation conditions by bending. For the samples with less than 0.01mass%Cu and 0.4mass%Cu, no cracks were observed during the bending. For the sample with 0.8mass%Cu, the maximum depth of the crack by bending increased with the time of solution heat treatment up to 75 seconds, and then decreased over 75 seconds. The second phase particles decreased by increasing the solution heat treatment time, while the formation of shear bands by bending increased by increasing the solution heat treatment time and the copper content. The cause of the occurrence and the propagation of cracks by bending are considered to be the combined effect of the shear band formation across some grains and the micro-voids formed around the second phase particles. Improving of the bendability requires a decrease in the size and number of the second phase particles and/or reduced shear band formation during the bending.
