Effects of Mg content on aging behavior of sub-micron Al₂O_3p/Al-Cu-Mg composites

【摘要】 <正>30%Al2O3p/Al-Cu-2.0Mg composite and Al2O3p/Al-Cu-2.5Mg composite with 0.3μm-Al2O3 particles were fabricated. Age-hardening behaviors of two composites and the related matrix alloys were studied by means of Brinell-hardness measurement, DSC and TEM. The results show that the hardness of the composite is improved obviously because of the addition of sub-micron Al2O3 particles. But the hardness increment of Al2O3p/Al composite after aging is lower than that of the related matrix alloy. Moreover, the formation of GP region is suppressed by the addition of sub-micron Al2O3 particles, which broadens the exothermic peak of S’ phase. The increment of Mg content has a different influence on accelerating the aging processes of aluminum alloys and the composites, and the hardness also increases.更多还原
