Abstract

This study investigates the effect of nickel-aluminide on Al-Cu-Mg alloys’ non-isothermal aging behavior. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of nickel-aluminide-containing Al-Cu-Mg alloys were evaluated after non-isothermal aging treatment. The results show that the presence of nickel aluminide in the Al-Cu-Mg alloy changes the nature of S-Al2CuMg precipitates to θ-Al2Cu precipitates by adding 1.5 wt% Ni to the Al-Cu-Mg matrix. The non-isothermal aging treatment temperature for achieving the maximum mechanical properties during non-isothermal aging shifted from 250 °C to 300 °C. Compared to isothermal artificial aging treatment at 170 °C, the maximum hardness and mechanical properties increased by up to 9% in a nickel-aluminide containing Al-Cu-Mg alloy after non-isothermal aging treatment. The nickel-aluminide containing sample’s maximum hardness and shear strength is HV0.1(143.4±6.4) and (298.6±9.6) MPa, respectively occurring at 300 °C. After non-isothermal aging treatment, the corrosion current intensity was reduced by approximately 58% and 49% in the nickel-containing coating compared to the AA2024 aluminum alloy substrate and coating without nickel-aluminide, respectively. Compared with the conventional artificial aging treatment, the corrosion current decreased by 16.7% more after non-isothermal aging treatment in the nickel-aluminide-containing coating.

摘要

本文研究了镍铝化物对 Al-Cu-Mg 合金非等温时效行为的影响. 对经非等温时效处理的含镍铝化物 Al-Cu-Mg 合金的组织、 力学性能和耐蚀性进行了评价. 结果表明, 在 Al-Cu-Mg 基体中加入 1.5 wt% Ni 后, Al-Cu-Mg 基体中镍铝化物的存在使析出物由 S-Al2CuMg 转变为 θ-Al2Cu. 在非等温时效过程中, 达到最大力学性能的非等温时效处理温度由 250 °C 转变为 300 °C. 与 170 °C 等温人工时效处理相比, 经非等温时效处理的含镍铝化物 Al-Cu-Mg 合金的最大硬度和力学性能均提高了 9%. 含镍铝化物试样在 300 °C 时达到最大硬度和抗剪强度, 分别为 HV0.1(143.4±6.4) 和 (298.6±9.6) MPa. 非等温时效处理后, 与 AA2024 铝合金基体和不含镍铝化物涂层相比, 含镍涂层的腐蚀电流强度分别降低了约 58% 和 49%. 与传统的人工时效处理相比, 经非等温时效处理的含镍铝涂层的腐蚀电流降低了 16.7%.
