简介：TheevolutionofmicrostructureandmechanicalpropertiesofAl-0.4Cu-0.14Si-0.05Mg-0.2Fe(wt.%)alloys,micro-alloyedwithZr,TiandSc,wereinvestigated.Theadditionof0.2%ZrtobasealloyacceleratestheprecipitationofSi-richnano-phaseinα-Almatrix,whichplaysanimportantroleinimprovingthemechanicalpropertiesofanalloy.Thetensilestrengthincreasesfrom102MPaforthebasealloyto113MPafortheZr-modifiedalloy.Adding0.2%Zr+0.2%Titobasealloyeffectivelyrefinesa-AlgrainsizeandacceleratestheprecipitationofSiandCuelements,leadingtoheavysegregationatgrainboundary.Byfurtheradding0.2%SctoZr+Timodifiedalloy,thesegregationofSiandCuelementsissuppressedandmoreSiandCuprecipitatesappearedinα-Almatrix.AccompaniedwiththeformationofcoherentAl3Scphase,thetensilestrengthincreasesfrom108MPafortheZr+Timodifiedalloyto152MPafortheSc-modifiedalloy.DuetoexcellentthermalstabilityofAl3Scphase,theSc-modifiedalloyexhibitsobviousprecipitationhardeningbehaviorat350℃,andthetensilestrengthincreasesto203MPaafterholdingat350℃for200h.
