The effect of heat treatment conditions and small addition of Fe on occurrence of serration in Al-Zn alloys was investigated. Specimens were aged for various times up to 5Ms at 293K or 273K after quenching from various temperatures (TQ), 398K to 853K, and tensile-tested at room temperature. Serration occurred more easily according as TQbecame lower and the aging time became shorter: in the case that TQ=473K serration was observed even after aging for 2.6Ms, while in the case that TQ=773K serration did not occur irrespective of aging conditions. Serration was also recognized when the specimens were furnace-cooled from 773K to room temperature. Thus, for the binary alloy serration was observed only when the aging period was short enough, but addition of Fe to the binary alloy prolonged the aging period where serration could be recognized. Aging rate measured by hardness was remarkably retarded with the increase of Fe addition. These results together with those obtained by the electrical resistometry suggest that the serration in Al-Zn alloys occurs in the early stage of aging where small GP zones or solute clusters are formed.

In this study, the effect of heat treatment conditions and small addition of Cu on occurrence of serration in Al-Si alloys was investigated. Specimens were aged for various times up to 87ks at 273K or 473K after quenching from 853K, and tensile-tested at room temperature. In the binary alloy, serration was observed even after aging for 87ks at 273K, while in the case of aging at 473K, serration did not occur under aging conditions at aging time, tA≧20s. On the other hand, serration was observed even after aging for 72ks at 473K in the Cu-added alloy. In both alloys, serration was also recognized when the specimens were furnace-cooled from 853K to room temperature. Thus, for aging at 473K of the binary alloy serration was observed only when the aging period was short enough, but addition of Cu to the binary alloy prolonged the aging period where serration could be recognized. Aging rate of both alloys measured by tensile strength was almost the same. The size of precipitates in the Cu-added alloy was smaller than that in binary alloy. Moreover, the number of the precipitates at the grain boundary in the Cu-added alloy was smaller than that in the binary alloy. It is considered that serration occurs for Al-Si alloys when the specimen is heat-treated so that small precipitates may be formed. Now the details of the effect of Cu addition are not clear.

Abstract COPPER ALLOY NOS. C44400 and C44500 are copper-zinc-tin alloys inhibited by antimony and phosphorus, respectively. They are commonly known as inhibited admiralty metal or admiralty brass. They have a good combination of strength and ductility and good resistance to general corrosion. The small addition of inhibitor is made to minimize the alloy’s susceptibility to dezincification and stress corrosion. They are used for condenser, evaporator and heat-exchanger tubes and associated applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and creep. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CU-599. Producer or source: Copper and copper alloy mills.
