摘要: 

基于铝合金厚板热处理时客观存在的非等温现象,利用非等温回归动力学模型、力学性能测试、电导率测试及TEM观察,研究了非等温回归温度场和时间的耦合效应对Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu (质量分数,%)合金厚板组织及性能的影响。结果表明,随着非等温回归时间的延长,合金的电导率逐渐升高,硬度和强度逐渐下降。优化的非等温回归再时效制度使MgZn2相的尺寸分布范围宽化。因此,位错切过和位错绕过强化机制的合理匹配有效地降低了硬度的损失,同时合金的电导率得到显著提升。以105 ℃、24 h为预时效制度,经过慢速升温非等温回归处理120 min后再经120 ℃、24 h峰时效,Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu铝合金厚板的抗拉强度、屈服强度及电导率分别为620 MPa、593 MPa和21.1 MS/m,其综合性能优于单级峰时效(T6)及双级过时效(T73),且包含慢速升温的非等温回归再时效技术更适用于厚板的时效热处理。

Abstract

7000 series Al alloy has been widely used in aeronautical structural materials because of its high strength, high stress corrosion cracking resistance and good fatigue resistance when treated by retrogression and re-ageing (RRA). Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu (mass fraction, %) thick plate is supposed to manufacture the aircraft wing in Chinese big plane project. Due to the non-isothermal environment in the process of heat treatment for aluminum alloy thick plate, the influence of coupling effect of non-isothermal retrogression temperature field and time on the microstructure and properties of Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu alloy thick plate was investigated by the non-isothermal kinetic model, mechanical properties tests, electrical conductivity test and TEM observations. The results show that, the electrical conductivity increases while the hardness and strength decrease with the non-isothermal retrogression time increasing. The optimized non-isothermal retrogression and re-ageing (NRRA) treatment makes the size distribution range of MgZn2 phase wider. Therefore,the logical matching between the dislocation cutting off mechanism and the dislocation by-passing mechanism effectively reduces the loss of hardness. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivity is significantly improved. After the treatment of 105 ℃, 24 h (pre-ageing) and non-isothermal regression (120 min) with slow heating rate and 120 ℃, 24 h re-ageing, the Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu alloy thick plate possesses an excellent comprehensive performance than those of T6 and T73 states. The tensile strength, yield strength and electrical conductivity are 620 MPa, 593 MPa and 21.1 MS/m, respectively. The NRRA treatment with slow heating rate is more suitable for the ageing treatment of thick plate.
