Simultaneously Improving Strength and Plasticity of Al–Cu Alloy by Introducing Spherical Precipitates
Advanced engineering materials(2023)
摘要
The trade‐off relation between strength and plasticity is the bottleneck that limits the development of high‐strength and high‐plasticity Al–Cu alloys. Inspired from the influence of precipitate shape on the work‐hardening behavior of Al–Cu alloys, an Al–Cu–Zr–Sc alloy containing a mixed microstructure of spherical‐shaped Al3(Zr, Sc) phases and disk‐shaped θ′ phases is successfully designed and fabricated. Surprisingly, it is found that the strength and plasticity of the Al–Cu–Zr–Sc alloy are synchronously improved compared to the Al–Cu alloy with only disk‐shaped θ′ phases. The introduction of spherical‐shaped Al3(Zr, Sc) phases can increase the yield strength without sacrificing the work‐hardening ability of the Al–Cu–Zr–Sc alloy, which is mainly attributed to the extremely small strain‐hardening exponent of the Al alloy with spherical‐shaped precipitates. Besides, the predicted strength–elongation relation of the Al–Cu alloy is established based on the exponential strain‐hardening model.
