Abstract
Zr and Ti are important alloying elements for heat-resistant aluminum alloys due to the formation of the L12 aluminide phases which have anti-recrystallization and hardening effects. However, due to the low solubility of transition metals in aluminum, the concentration of aluminide dispersoids is small, and this limits their strengthening potential. In this work, aluminum was, for the first time to our knowledge, mechanically alloyed with additions of pre-synthesized Al3Ti and Al3Zr L12 strengthening particles (2.5 vol.%). The aim of this work was to compare the effects of Al3Ti and Al3Zr additives on the microstructure and strengthening of the test AA6063 alloy. Powders of alloy and aluminides were processed via planetary ball milling for 30 h. The composite granules were compacted by hot pressing at 400°C and 500°C. It was shown that addition of 1 wt.% Cu during milling leads to an abrupt increase in the microhardness of the alloy from 200 HV to 300 HV. The composites exhibited fine nanocrystalline microstructure consisting of aluminum crystallites about 100 nm in size, crushed intermetallic particles ranging from 1.5 μm to several dozens of nanometers, and secondary precipitates. The ultimate compressive strength at room temperature exceeds 900 MPa, and at 300°C it is 242–289 MPa.
