AbstractPrecipitation-hardened aluminium alloys typically obtain their strength by forming second-phase particles, which, however, often have a negative effect on formability. To enable both lightweight construction and forming of complex parts such as body panels, high strength and formability are required simultaneously. Cluster hardening is a promising approach to achieve this. Here, we show that short thermal spikes, denoted as up-quenching, increase aging kinetics, which we attribute to the repeated process of vacancies being formed at high temperatures and retained when cooled to lower temperatures. Combined with further heat treatment, the up-quenching process promotes rapid and extensive cluster formation in Al-Mg-Si alloys, which in turn generates significant strengthening at industrially relevant heat treatment time scales. The high elongation values also observed are attributed to reduced solute depleted zones along grain boundaries.

Based on the conducted research, it has been found that quenching with hot isostatic pressure and step-by-step aging with consistently increasing temperatures of low-temperature aging (first stage) and high-temperature aging (second stage) provides high tensile strength for AL4MS copper silumin during cold box casting, increases the flow stress by 10%, and maintains high plasticity compared to the level of properties after single-stage aging.

A study was carried out on aging behaviour of a 6082 alloy processed by two different severe plastic deformation techniques: ECAP and asymmetric rolling. Both techniques were able to generate an ultrafine-grained structure in samples processed at room temperature. It was stated that severe straining promotes marked changes in the postdeformation aging kinetics. The peaks of β′′/β′ transition phases were anticipated and of progressively reduced intensity over the coarse grained alloy. A further peak accounting for onset of recrystallization also appeared in the most severely deformed samples. Full consistency in peak shape and position was found when comparing materials processed by ECAP and asymmetric rolling. Isothermal aging treatments performed at 180°C revealed that in the severely deformed samples, aging became so fast that the hardness curves continuously decreased due to overwhelming effects of structure restoration. On the contrary, aging at 130°C offers good opportunities for fully exploiting the precipitate hardening effects in the ultrafine-grained alloy.

Abstract In the present work, the artificial aging kinetics of SiCp particles reinforced AA7075-SiCp composite fabricated by stir casting method was investigated. The aging behavior of AA7075-SiCp composite was investigated by Rockwell hardness tests and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results show there are no changes in the sequences of formation and dissolution of precipitate. Reinforced particles are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. The hardness profile shows increase in hardness with the comparison of AA7075 base alloy. In addition to SiCp in the matrix, precipitation kinetics has changed compared with base alloy since higher dislocations present in composite, hence requires lower activation energy to form ή precipitate and takes less time to reach the maximum hardness. In contrast, the addition of SiCp at low volume percent also showing accelerated aging phenomena in the composite during the aging process. High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) micrograph of peak age (T6) condition divulges that enormous fine and plate-like ή (MgZn2) precipitates are uniformly distributed in the composite.
