Approaches to the design of recycling-tolerant Al-Zn-Mg alloys were formulated to be achieved via combined Ca, Fe, and Si, and appropriate solidification conditions and heat treatment. A CalPhaD calculation and experimental study were employed for analysis of the Al-8%Zn-3%Mg alloy doped with 1–2%Ca, 0.5%Fe, and 0.5%Si. The Al-8%Zn-3%Mg-1%Ca-0.5%Fe-0.5%Si (AlZnMg1CaFeSi) alloy was preliminarily found to be promising since it showed a high equilibrium solidus, and an as-cast structure including curved phases (Al), Al3Fe, Al2CaSi2, Al10CaFe2, and (Al, Zn)4Ca; favouring a further spheroidization response during a two-step annealing at 450 °C, 3 h + 520 °C, 3 h. Furthermore, the alloy showed an excellent age-hardening response (195 HV, T6), which did not yield the values of the base alloy and outperformed the values of the other experimental counterparts. Regarding feasibility, 80% reduction hot rolling was successfully conducted, as well as a brief comparison with commercial 6063 impurity-tolerant alloys. As it showed qualitatively similar structural patterns and Fe and Si alloying opportunities, the AlZnMg1CaFeSi alloy may serve as a sustainable basis for the further development of high-strength aluminum alloys tailored for manufacture from scrap materials.

In the present investigation, the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was employed to form aluminum oxide coating layers to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys. The formed protective coating layers were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and characterized by several electrochemical techniques, including open circuit potential (OCP), linear potentiodynamic polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were reported in comparison with the bare 6061-O aluminum alloy to determine the corrosion performance of the coated 6061-O alloy. The PEO-treated aluminum alloy showed substantially higher corrosion resistance in comparison with the untreated substrate material. A relationship was found between the coating formation stage, process parameters and the thickness of the oxide-formed layers, which has a measurable influence on enhancing corrosion resistance properties. This study demonstrates promising results of utilizing PEO process to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys and could be recommended as a method used in industrial applications.

High Strength Aluminum Alloys

Abstract Aluminum alloys are attractive for a number of applications due to their high specific strength, and developing new compositions is a major goal in the structural materials community. Here, we investigate the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy system (7xxx series) by machine learning-based composition and process optimization. The discovered optimized alloy is compositionally lean with a high ultimate tensile strength of 952 MPa and 6.3% elongation following a cost-effective processing route. We find that the Al8Cu4Y phase in wrought 7xxx-T6 alloys exists in the form of a nanoscale network structure along sub-grain boundaries besides the common irregular-shaped particles. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using machine learning to search for 7xxx alloys with good mechanical performance.
