The comprehensive performance of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy can be significantly improved by a proposed novel thermo-mechanical treatment (NTMT). The influence of the NTMT on the properties and microstructure was investigated by tensile test, corrosion resistance test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results show that Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy treated by the NTMT can obtain an excellent combination of strength and ductility. The highest yield strength and ultimate tensile strength reached 643 MPa and 664 MPa respectively, and the elongation was 9.7%. Meanwhile, electrochemical corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion resistance in the aluminum alloy can be improved after the NTMT. The mechanism of the excellent combination of strength and ductility is thought to be the synergistic effect of dislocations substructures, texture configuration, and nanoprecipitates. The improvement of intergranular corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is caused by changes in the micro-morphology of grain boundary precipitates after the NTMT, which can block anodic dissolution channels along grain boundaries to reduce the rate of anodic dissolution and avoid hydrogen embrittlement.

A procedure of thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) was carried out to 2519 aluminum alloy to improve its properties. The influences of cold deformation ratio, ageing temperature and ageing time of the TMT on the mechanical properties and electrochemical corrosion resistance of this alloy were investigated. The results show that after TMT the tensile strength of 2519 aluminum alloy can be improved obviously but its electrochemical corrosion resistance decreases slightly. The optimum processing parameters of the TMT for 2519 aluminum alloy can be described as: solid solution at 530°Cfor 0.5h, then cold deform with a ratio of 15% followed by aging at 150°C for 10h.

In this paper, shielded metal arc welding on the dissimilar joint between 2205 duplex stainless steel and composite bimetallic plates (304 L stainless steel/10CrNi3MoV steel) with a filler metal E2209 was performed. Furthermore, the microstructure, phase, mechanical properties and intergranular corrosion resistance of the joints were investigated and element distributions of the interfaces were characterized. The results show that austenite transformed to ferrite under the influence of welding thermal cycle, and then a large amount of ferrite appeared in heat affected zone (HAZ) of 2205 duplex stainless steel. Coarse bainite grains were formed in HAZ of the 10CrNi3MoV steel near the fusion line with high temperature welding thermal cycle. Fine granular bainite was also generated in HAZ of 10CrNi3MoV steel due to the relatively short exposure time to the active temperature of grain growth. Local peak temperature near the base 10CrNi3MoV steel was still high enough to recrystallize the 10CrNi3MoV steel to form partial-recrystallization HAZ due to phase change. The filler metal was compatible with the three kinds of base materials. The thickness of the elemental diffusion interfaces layers was about 100 µm. The maximum microhardness value was obtained in the HAZ of 2205 duplex stainless steel (287 ± 14 HV), and the minimum one appeared in HAZ of SS304L (213 ± 5 HV). The maximum tensile strength of the welded joint was about 670 ± 6 MPa, and the tensile specimens fractured in ductile at matrix of the composite bimetallic plates. The impact energy of the weld metal and HAZ of the 10CrNi3MoV steel tested at –20 °C were 274 ± 6 J and 308 ± 5 J, respectively. Moreover, the intergranular corrosion resistance of the weldment including 304 L stainless steel, weld metal, HAZs and 2205 duplex stainless steel was in good agreement with the functional design requirements of materials corrosion resistance.
