摘要: 

通过低温冷却+轧制变形的方法研究了高强7050铝合金的低温塑性变形及其对合金组织性能的影响。结果表明,高强7050铝合金经液氮冷却预处理后可实现与温/热轧相比较高的轧制变形加工量,并产生大量亚结构和高密度位错,使合金显著强化,其中低温下的高变形能力主要与合金在低温下具有高的加工硬化能力密切相关,而强度提升主要来自于固溶强化和变形位错强化的贡献。虽然超低温变形能够明显加快淬火态高强7050铝合金的时效进程,但直接时效处理可使超低温变形态7050铝合金保有较高的强度和一定延伸率,其中析出和位错强化是其强化主因,而时效引起的回复和强化相析出共同促进延伸率的改善。淬火态高强7050铝合金在室温变形过程中,形变热引起基体中析出的溶质原子团簇(或GP区)和η′相与变形位错发生交互作用,导致大量剪切带(失稳区)形成,从而易引发轧板开裂或边裂,而超低温变形过程中溶质扩散受阻以致强化相析出被抑制,从而明显降低了剪切失稳区的发生,使合金能够获得均匀、稳定的塑性变形或良好的加工硬化,确保获得较高质量的超低温轧板。高强铝合金在低温下所表现出来的优异塑性变形和加工能力有望成为改善高强铝合金难变形加工的有效途径。

Abstract

The high strength or flow stress as well as low plastic deformability of 7000 series Al alloys makes it difficult to improve their microstructures and mechanical properties by cold processing, and many advanced alloying methods and processing technologies are continually developed for higher mechanical properties and acceptable elongation. In this work, the cryogenic deformation (rolling) was applied to process high-strength 7050 Al alloys, and its effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that after the pre-cooling with liquid nitrogen, the quenched 7050 Al alloy can obtain much higher rolling reduction, similar to that under warm or hot rolling, and a great number of substructures and high-density dislocations were formed which greatly increased the strength. The higher cryogenic deformability would be mainly related with the higher work-hardening ability at low temperature, while the strength enhancement would be largely attributed to the solution strengthening and dislocation strengthening. The cryogenic deformation can obviously stimulate the ageing process of the quenched 7050 Al alloy, but the direct ageing of the cryogenic-rolling 7050 Al alloy can assure higher strength and acceptable elongation, which would be greatly attributed to the precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening, while the recovery and ageing-induced precipitates help improving the tensile elongation. During room-temperature rolling, the formation of GP zones and η′ phases caused by the heats transformed from the deformation as well as their interaction with dislocations leads to the appearance of amounts of shear bands (instability areas), which will easily cause the cracking or edge-cracking of the rolling sheets. However, the cryogenic rolling with distinctly impeding the solute diffusion can result in the suppression of precipitation of the strengthening phases so as to decrease the occurrence of the shear instability areas, and uniform and stable plastic deformation or good work-hardening as well as high-quality rolling sheets are obtained. The excellent plastic deformability of high-strength Al alloys at cryogenic temperatures could be suggested as an effective way to improve the processing of high-strength Al alloys.
