Enhanced intragranular dislocation capture ability in nano/ultrafine Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy by burnishing-assisted two-stage aging treatment-induced dynamic nucleation
Source abstract
Abstract
The effects of burnishing-assisted two-stage aging (BATSA), including pre-aging, burnishing, and subsequent aging (SA) on the microstructural evolution, precipitation, and hardening behavior of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy were systematically investigated. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, and Vickers microhardness tests were used to analyze the above-mentioned characteristics of the burnished-layer alloys and the matrix-layer alloys, respectively. The BATSA treatment promotes a concentrated distribution of precipitate sizes, delaying phase coalescence and maintaining a relatively dispersed precipitate distribution. Moreover, the persistent nucleation of Guinier-Preston (GP) zones in burnished alloys was observed during SA. These results are conducive to the enhancement of the dislocation storage capacity of nano/ultra fine-grained alloys (the decrease in dislocation density of pre-aged burnished alloy was about 65% that of non-pre-aged burnished alloy). Based on this, dynamic nucleation induced by pre-aging and burnishing resulted in a better synergy of multiple strengthening mechanisms, significantly shortening the time to peak hardness in pre-aged burnished alloys to about 1/3 that in non-pre-aged matrix alloys, and maintaining hardness stability. Moreover, it was found that the critical width of the in situ phase transformation from GPII zone to η` precipitate can be as low as 3–4 at. planes.
