ABSTRACTThe mechanisms of compressive deformation that occur in closed cell Al alloys have been established. This has been achieved by using x-ray computed tomography (CT) and surface strain mapping to determine the deformation modes and the cell morphologies that control the onset of yielding. The deformation is found to localize in narrow bands having width of order of a cell diameter. Outside the bands, the material remains elastic. The cells within the bands that experience large permanent strains are primarily elliptical. A group of cells work collectively to allow large localized deformation. Size does not appear to be the initiator of the deformation bands. Equiaxed cells remain elastic. The implications for manufacturing materials with superior mechanical properties are discussed. Visualization of internal deformation of a closed cell Al alloy core, as part of a sandwich panel construction, is also possible using x-ray tomography. Preliminary results for a punch indentation test are presented.

Ni-Al alloys create a cone- shaped figure when there is internal oxide. This behavior was studied by TEM, SEM, X-Ray (XRD), Optical Microscopy and Image Processing. The internal oxide precipitates and its results indicate that this precipitation forms continuous rods in a cone-shaped configuration extending from the surface to the internal oxide front for Ni-Al alloys, whereas for Ni-X (X = Cr, Mo, V, W and Mn) alloys the precipitation is discrete and more irregularly-shaped. Furthermore, in a high atomic percentage (5.18% to 8.67%), the precipitation was rod-like and continuous from the surface to the internal oxide front for all temperature\time conditions. For the Ni-2.47% Al alloy at 800 °C, observations showed a mixture of rod-like and fork like precipitates, whereas after oxidation at 1000 and 1100 °C the precipitation was rod-like and continuous. For the Ni-1.18% Al alloy the aluminum concentration was insufficient for fully continuous precipitation to develop, and the internal oxides were generally acicular-shaped and discontinuous. Images obtained by TEM and, after that, analyzed by image processing allowed us to understand their behavior and the internal oxide patterns.

Angular Pressing

The individual or joint effects of annealing and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) treatments on the high-temperature compressive deformation and damage behavior of cast LY12 Al alloys were studied. The compressive deformation behavior and surface deformation and damage characteristics of differently treated LY12 Al alloy samples were examined at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 400°C. It is found that the LY12 Al alloy exhibits different compressive mechanical behavior depending on different treatments, and the compressive deformation and damage characteristics of LY12 Al alloys with different microstructural states are closely related with the testing temperature. As compared to other samples (e.g. as-cast, annealed, as-cast+2ECAPed), the sample annealed at 450°C for 3h followed by ECAPed for 2 passages (i.e. annealed+2ECAPed) shows a better high-temperature deformation stability.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of a newly developed Zn61Al34M5 (M=Cu, Si, RE, et al.) alloy obtained by warm-compacting sintering technique were studied using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) associated with measurements of mechanical properties. The results showed that the new alloy consisted of α-phase and η-phase and have good plasticity; its hardness increased by 10%~20% and density decreased by about 16% as compared with those of the traditional cast Zn-Al alloys.

Due to the great effect of defects on the properties of the material including strength, ductility, resistivity and opacity, there are many techniques that are used in defect detecting. Positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS), Vickers hardness, and X-ray diffraction were used to study the influence of plastic deformation on the properties of 8006 Al-alloy in this work. An increase in the positron lifetime and Vickers hardness with a bit Broadening of XRD peaks was observed with increasing the degree of deformation reflecting a large dislocation density produced by plastic deformation.

Purpose – The paper aims to provide new observations about static strain ageing in aluminium (Al) alloys which are widely used in structural applications. Design/methodology/approach – The present work aims to provide theoretical and practical information to industries or researchers who may be interested in the effect of static strain ageing on mechanical properties of Al alloys. The data are sorted into the following sections: introduction, materials and experimental procedure, results and discussion and conclusions. Findings – Tensile strength, proof strength (0.2 per cent) and percentage elongation measurement were used to investigate the effect of strain ageing on the mechanical properties. Wear tests were performed by sliding the pin specimens, which were prepared from as-received, solution heat-treated, deformed and undeformed specimens after ageing, on high-speed tool steel (64 HRC). It is concluded that the variations in ageing time improved the strength and wear resistance of the 6063 Al alloy; however, a plastically deformed solution-treated alloy has higher strength and wear resistance than undeformed specimens for different ageing times at 180°C. Practical implications – A very useful source of information for industries using or planning to produce Al alloys. Originality/value – This paper fulfils an identified resource need and offers practical help to the industries.

This paper describes direct cladding of magnesium (Mg) and aluminum (Al) alloys using a tandem horizontal twin roll caster that has three pairs of upper and lower rolls. Manufacturing conditions that are appropriate for fabricating Al/Mg and Al/Mg/Al cladded material were investigated. The surface condition of the cladded cast strip was examined. An electron probe micro analyzer was used to observe the interface between Al alloy and Mg alloy. The thickness of the mixed layer of Al and Mg alloy was 15μm, and how the materials were connected was clarified. Microscopic observation and backscattered electron analysis were used to investigate the cladding mechanisms of the Al and Mg alloy layers. Average hardness was determined using the Vickers hardness test at the Al layer and at the diffused layer between Mg and Al alloys. Cladding of Al/Mg alloy and A/Mg/Al alloy was possible using a tandem twin-roll caster. In addition, Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17 phase precipitation at the interface of the Al and Mg alloys was confirmed during direct cladding from molten metals.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the leader metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes thanks to its capability of coupling freeform design and environmental and economical sustainability to high mechanical properties. AlSi10Mg is a light weight Al-alloy with interesting processing properties and enhanced strength thanks to the presence of Mg, which, hence, finds application in several industrial fields. Furthermore, SLM allows overcoming those design constraints set by casting and melt spinning; however, SLM AlSi10Mg components require to be heat treated, both to strengthen the material and to engineer the microstructure. In this work, in order to assess the effectiveness of heat treatments on AlSi10Mg by SLM, an ad hoc analysis procedure based on statistical tools is applied in combination with indentation characterisation tests. In particular, to achieve full scale characterisation, traditional Brinell hardness and Instrumented Indentation Test (IIT) in macro and nano-range are considered. In particular, IIT is applied both at the lower end of macro range to provide consistency and statistically investigate relationship with Brinell scale and in the nano-range, enabling local, i.e. grain, and surface properties to be characterised.
