The effect of heat treatment on the long-term corrosion resistance of Er containing 5083 aluminum alloy was studied using the micro-hardness test and mass loss test. The microstructure was analyzed by TEM. To maintain the strength, the annealing temperature was selected to be 100-230°C below the recrystallization onset temperature determined by the micro-hardness test. The plot of the annealing temperature versus the Intergranular Corrosion (IGC) initial time, which is determined by the Nitric Acid Mass Loss Test, showed a C-curve. The shortest IGC initial time (~1h) happened at 175°C, the nose temperature of the C-curve. When annealed at 125-200°C, the samples were IGC sensitive with the initial time less than 3h. The entirely IGC resistant (stabilized) samples were obtained when annealed at 220-230°C. The 175°C sensitized treatment was performed on the 220°C-stabilized samples, which showed that the 3-12h stabilization could significantly improve the resistance for long-term corrosion. TEM results showed that, for the IGC sensitive samples, β phases (Al3Mg2) grew along the grain boundary continuously, while for the stabilized samples, they were isolated on triangle grain boundary and phase boundary.

Effect Of Surface

Age-hardening of Al-Zn alloy after quenching develops inhomogeneously due to the effect of surface as a vacancy sink and grain boundary as an easy path. In this study, reversion of the age-hardened Al-Zn alloys, in which ellipsoidal GP zones were formed, was investigated by Vickers micro-hardness test. Ellipsoidal GP zones were reverted more quickly near the surface and grain boundary than in the interior, as spherical GP zones in Al-10%alloy did. It is considered that the surface and grain boundary plays a role of effective source for vacancies, in addition to the interior source such as dislocations, as in the case of the reversion of spherical GP zones.

Abstract The present work investigated the use of the Vickers micro-hardness test method to determine the resistance of individual die to cracking. The results are used as an indicator of resistance to failure under the thermal and mechanical stresses of packaging and subsequent thermal cycling. Indentation measurements on die back surfaces are used to determine how changes in wafer backside processing conditions affect cracks that form around impressions produced at different loads. Test methodology and results obtained at different processing conditions are discussed.

Different Doses

This article deals with the influence of different doses of Beta radiation to the structure and mico-mechanical properties of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Hard surface layers of polymer materials, especially LDPE, can be formed by radiation cross-linking by β radiation with doses of 33, 66 and 99 kGy. Material properties created by β radiation are measured by micro-hardness test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Individual radiation doses caused structural and micro-mechanical changes which have a significant effect on the final properties of the LDPE tested. The highest values of micro-mechanical properties were reached at radiation dose of 66 and 99 kGy, when the micro-hardness values increased by about 21%. The changes were examined and confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

The influence of continuous annealing variables on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a C-Mn Dual Phase (DP) steel was studied. The annealing cycles were simulated using a Gleeble machine. Some specimens were quenched at different stages of the annealing cycle in order to evaluate the microstructural evolution during the annealing process. Tensile tests and microstrutural analysis were carried out. The results showed that high heating rates increased the final recrystallization temperature and as a consequence the microstructure obtained was refined. Austenite grain nucleation and growth were also influenced by the heating rates. Soaking temperature was the most influent variable on the mechanical properties, i. e., the yield strength increased and the tensile strength decreased with an increase in the soaking temperature. Microstructural analysis showed that not only martensite, but also bainite and martensite-retained autenite constituent (MA) were formed. Undissolved carbides were also detected by transmission electron microscopy.

Mechanical Properties And Corrosion

In order to produce structural products, Al-Zn-Mg alloys undergo various forming processes. Problems that are usually found in the forming process include peripheral coarse grain (PCG) and hot tearing which decrease mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the alloys. Addition of microalloying element such as chromium (Cr) is an alternative to overcome these problems. The presence of Cr in Al-Zn-Mg alloys supresses the grain growth by preventing excess recrystallization. In this research 0.9 wt. % Cr was added to Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg alloy and the deformation behaviour as well as subsequent recrystallization was observed. The alloy was fabricated by squeeze casting followed by homogenization at 400 °C for 4 h. The samples were cold rolled for 5, 10, and 20 %. The 20 % deformed samples were then annealed at 300, 400, and 500 °C for 2 h. Material characterization consisted of microstructure analysis using optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) – Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), hardness testing using Micro Vicker methods. The results showed that the deformed grain ratio was 1.6, 2.84, and 2.99 in the 5, 10, and 20 % deformed samples, respectively. The elongated dendrites were effective to increase the hardness of the alloy. Recrystallization was not detected during annealing at 300 and 400 °C, but was observed at 500 °C. Whereas, for the samples without Cr addition, recrystallization occurred at 400 °C. It means that the addition of Cr increased the recrystallization temperature of the alloy. It occured because (Al, Zn)7Cr dispersoids with size less than 1 μm impeded the dislocation motion during annealing, so that recrystallization was retarded. On the other hand (Al, Zn)7Cr dispersoids with size more than 1 μm promoted the formation of new grains around them by Particle Stimulated Nucleation (PSN) mechanism. In this case, the fine (Al, Zn)7Cr dominated so that recrystallization was slower.

A380 Alloy

The effect of rare earth metal erbium (Er) modification on the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys (A380) were investigated using Optical Microscope (OM), Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) attached with Electron Dispersive Scanning (EDS), Vicker’s hardness test and Ultimate Tensile Test (UTS). The results show that the addition of Er reduces the size of the silicon particle and improve mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy. In addition, by adding 0.1 wt. % of Er, the mean area (μm2) and aspect ratio value decreased. The coarse plate like existed in the unmodified alloy transformed into fine particle and short rod. The mechanical properties were investigated by using tensile test and Vicker’s hardness test. The ultimate tensile strength test shows that the tensile and the elongation increased 1.32 % and 9.1 % with 0.1 wt. % Er content of the aluminium alloys, respectively. The hardness improved from the addition of 0.1% Er aluminium A380 alloy.
