Mg-Zn-Zr-Y billets with different mass fraction of Y (wt%(Y)=0.2%、0.5%、1.0%、1.5%、2.0%) was prepared by permanent mold casting. The increase in Y content has shown grain refinement effects on the microstructure morphologies of Mg–Zn–Y–Zr alloys. When the content of Y achieves 1.0 wt%, the grain refinement effect of the Y is most obvious than any more contents of the Y content. In the test result of XRD, the type of precipitated phase in Mg-Zn-Zr-Y alloys is related to atomic ratio of Y/Zn. With content of Y increases, atomic ratio of Y/Zn increases,the precipitated phase in alloy is changed from Phase I to Phase W. Tensile strength and extension rate of alloy increase with the increasing of Y content; When Y content reaches 1.0%, mechanical property reaches maximum value.When content of Y exceeds 1.0%, with the increasing of Y content, mechanical property of alloy declines gradually.

The mechanical properties and corrosion performances of the ZL101 alloy modified by the composite master alloy were investigated. The results showed that the master alloy had not only obvious effect of grain refinement, but also a significant role in refining dendrite grain of ZL101 alloy. The grain size decreased dramatically from 150μm to 62μm when the addition of composite master alloy is up to 0.5%(mass fraction) and the temperature is 720 for 30 minutes,. Its tensile strength and elongation increased by 27% and 42% respectively. The grain refinement of ZL101 alloy decreased its corrosion performance. The morphology of Si changed into globular from needle modified by NaF, instead of AlTiB.

Atom probe tomography was utilized to measure directly the chemical compositions of Al3(Zr1−xTix) precipitates with a metastable L12 structure formed in Al-0.1Zr-0.1Ti (at.%) alloys upon aging at 375°C or 425°C. The alloys exhibit an inhomogeneous distribution of Al3(Zr1−xTix) precipitates, as a result of a nonuniform dendritic distribution of solute atoms after casting. At these aging temperatures, the Zr:Ti atomic ratio in the precipitates is about 10 and 5, respectively, indicating that Ti remains mainly in solid solution rather than partitioning to the Al3(Zr1−xTix) precipitates. This is interpreted as being due to the very small diffusivity of Ti in α-Al, consistent with prior studies on Al-Sc-Ti and Al-Sc-Zr alloys, where the slower diffusing Zr and Ti atoms make up a small fraction of the Al3(Sc1−xTix/Zrx) precipitates. Unlike those alloys, however, the present Al-Zr-Ti alloys exhibit no interfacial segregation of Ti at the matrix/precipitate heterophase interface, a result that may be affected by a significant disparity in the evaporation fields of the α-Al matrix and Al3(Zr1−xTix) precipitates and/or a lack of local thermodynamic equilibrium at the interface.

Abstract With thrust weight ratio increasing, integral panel is an important component to reduce the aircraft weight, and it is a great challenges to ensure the forming accuracy and mechanical property in the lager-scale panel. Laser shock forming has a great development prospect in achieving integral panel forming and improving its mechanical properties. This work investigated unequal alternate double-sided laser shock forming, which can make 7075 aluminum panel form and induce harden layer in both panel sides. The improvement in mechanical properties and microstucture evolution of 7074 aluminum panel were analyzed after unequal alternate double-sided laser shock forming. The residual stress and microhardness in surface and subsurface were verified to be enhanced by the laser shock wave. The results of XRD and EBSD provided an evidence of grain refinement. The strengthening mechanism of unequal alternate double-sided laser shock forming was analyzed in this work. The grains are distorted and refined during high strain rate plastic deformation due to dislocation slip and accumulation. The mechanical properties were enhanced by unequal alternate double-sided laser shock forming for harden layers in both panel sides. The harden layers and grain refinement has a great significance in inhibiting the crack generation and growth.
