    Effect of Fe and Thermal Exposure on Mechanical Properties of Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg-Fe Alloy

    by Jingdong Li, Fanming Chen, Yuze Wang, Yuanliang Zhang, Rui Zhang, Yi Luo, Yiqiang He, Ke Sun, Lijie Zuo

    The effects of Fe, Cr and thermal exposure on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Si alloy were investigated in this work. The results indicated that the main phases of the Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg-(0.6–0.9%) Fe (wt. %) alloy were α-Al, Si, Al5Cu2Mg8Si6, Al3CuNi, Al7Cu4Ni, Al2Cu, and AlFeSi at room temperature. The size of the AlSiFe phase increased with increasing the weight fraction of Fe. The shape of Fe-rich phase changed from rod-like to star-like, followed by long needle-like with Fe varying from 0.6% to 0.9%. The mechanical properties of the studied alloys at elevated temperatures increased with Fe. The ultimate tensile strength of the three alloys at 350 °C was 111.2 MPa, 124 MPa, and 128.7 MPa, respectively. In addition, the ductility and strength of the studied alloys at room temperature decreased with increasing the Fe, due to the large size of the hard and brittle Fe-rich phase strictly cleaved the aluminum matrix. After thermal exposure, the properties of the alloy at room temperature and elevated temperature decreased obviously at the beginning of 0.5~8 h, and then tend to be stabilized during thermal exposure at 350 °C for approximately 32~64 h. Fe-rich was a thermal stable phase at 350 °C.

    Effect of Thermal Exposure on Mechanical Properties of Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg Aluminum Alloy

    by Fanming Chen, Chengwen Liu, Lijie Zuo, Zhiyuan Wu, Yiqiang He, Kai Dong, Guoqing Li, Weiye He

    The microstructure morphology and evolution of mechanical properties are investigated in this study. The results show that the phases displayed no clear change after thermal exposure at 250 °C for 200 h. The tensile strength of the as-cast alloy showed a downward trend in different degrees with the increase in the tensile temperature, while the influence of elongation was opposite to the tensile strength. In addition, the tensile strength tended to be stable after thermal exposure at 250 °C for 100 h. The main creep mechanism of the as-cast alloy at a low temperature and low stress (T ≤ 250 °C; σ ≤ 40 MPa) is grain-boundary creep. The Monkman–Grant empirical formula was used to fit the relationship between the creep life and the minimum creep rate, and the fitting results are: tr·ε˙min0.95=0.207.
