This research was carried out to investigate the influence of Sr-Sb on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-18 wt % Mg₂Si-4.5Cu alloys. After the addition of 0.2 wt % Sr-Sb, the morphologies of primary Mg₂Si transformed from equiaxed dendrite to cube in as-cast alloys and the average size of primary Mg₂Si decreased from ~50 to ~20 μm. The shape of eutectic Mg₂Si changed from Chinese script to short rod. After extrusion and T6 heat treatment, the ultimate tensile strength of modified alloy at room temperature (RT) and 100 °C increased respectively from 229 to 288 MPa, and from 231 to 272 MPa. The elongation-to-failure only slightly improved from 2.9% to 3.8% and from 3.3% to 3.7% at RT and 100 °C, respectively. The tensile fracture surface revealed a transition from brittle fracture to ductile fracture after modifying by 0.2 wt % Sr-Sb.
本研究旨在探究Sr-Sb对Al-18 wt% Mg₂Si-4.5Cu合金微观结构和力学性能的影响。添加0.2 wt% Sr-Sb后,铸态合金中初生Mg₂Si的形态从等轴枝晶转变为立方状,且初生Mg₂Si的平均尺寸从约50μm减小至约20μm。共晶Mg₂Si的形状从汉字状变为短棒状。挤压和T6热处理后,变质合金在室温(RT)和100°C下的抗拉强度分别从229 MPa提高到288 MPa,以及从231 MPa提高到272 MPa。室温下和100°C时的断裂伸长率仅分别从2.9%略微提高到3.8%,以及从3.3%略微提高到3.7%。拉伸断口表明,经0.2 wt% Sr-Sb变质处理后,断裂模式从脆性断裂转变为韧性断裂。
