Following our previous research, the correlation between the micro-chemistry of grain boundary and the distribution of stored energy in AA2024-T3 alloy is investigated, using the combination of transmission Kikuchi diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the difference of dislocation density, namely stored energy, between two neighboring grains significantly affects the micro-chemistry of the grain boundary. Further, it is revealed that intergranular corrosion development in the AA2024-T3 alloy is mainly attributed to the combined effect of grain boundary chemistry and stored energy distribution.

In this work, has been performed the characteristics and susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of high strength alloy of AA2024-T3 in alkaline media. Intergranular corrosion can occur randomly over the entire surface of an alloy, but corrosion is limited to the immediate area of the grain boundary and is often not apparent by simple visualization. It can be an important source of limiting the life of the aircraft body where alloys from the 2xxx series are used, which is why they are systematically subjected to intergranular corrosion tests in dedicated laboratories.

This paper brings out the developments on heat-treatment and alloying to improve the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of 7010 Al-alloy. The role of microstructures including the grain boundary precipitates and recystallized grains and the relation of intergranular corrosion (IGC) on the SCC behavior of 7010 Al-alloy have been discussed.

In order to improve the intergranular corrosion resistance of high strength Al-Mg alloys, the effect of stabilizing treatment was systematically investigated. Microstructure evolutions of Al-Mg alloys after different stabilizing treatments have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were measured. It was found that the mass loss of samples after sensitizing treatment decreased with an increase in the stabilizing temperature. It was suggested that the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion for high strength Al-Mg alloys has a strong relation to the stabilizing temperature that modify the morphology and distribution of precipitates. The precipitates continuously precipitated along the grain boundary when the stabilizing temperature was lower than 250°C, corresponding to a poor corrosion resistance. However, the precipitates randomly precipitated in the matrix as globular particles, and discontinuously precipitated at the grain boundary after stabilized at 250°C and 275°C, resulted in an improved intergranular corrosion resistance.

Recent studies have shown that spray-pyrolyzed films of the Tl-1223 compound (TlxBa2Ca2Cu3Oy, with 0.7 < × < 0.95) on polycrystalline yttrium stabilized zirconia substrates can be prepared which have critical current density Jc near 105 A/cm2 at 77 K, in zero field. The films are polycrystalline, have excellent c-axis alignment, and show little evidence of weak-link behavior. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies have shown that most grain boundaries have small misorientation angles. It has been found that the films have a nigh degree of local texture indicative of colonies of similarly oriented grains. It is believed that inter-colony conduction is enhanced by a percolative network of small angle boundaries at colony interfaces. It has also been found that Jc is increased by a factor of 4 - 5 after the films were annealed at 600 °C in oxygen. This study is thus carried out to determine the effect on grain boundary chemistry of the heat treatment.

ABSTRACTCavity nucleation during superplastic deformation of a high strength aluminium alloy has been studied using a high voltage electron microscope and an optical microscope. The results show that cavities nucleation is due only to superplastic deformation and not to pre-existing microvoids which may be introduced during thermomechanical processing. The main reason for cavity nucleation is the high stress concentration at discontinuties in the plane of the grain boundary due to grain boundary sliding.
