摘要
The microstructure evolution, mechanical and corrosion properties of Al-11Si-2Cu-0.8Zn die cast alloy treated with Bi, Sb and Sr additions were investigated. The results of mechanical testing showed that all additions increased impact toughness, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation of the alloy as a result of change in eutectic Si morphology. The analysis of fracture surfaces revealed that with addition of Sr and to lesser extent Bi and Sb, the alloy exhibited a predominantly ductile fracture rather than quasi-cleavage brittle fracture. Moreover, with the additions of Sr, Bi and Sb, the quality index increased to 164.7 MPa, 156.3 MPa and 152.6 MPa respectively from 102 MPa for the base alloy. Polarization corrosion tests conducted in sodium chloride solution showed that the corrosion potential shifted to more negative values with additions of Sb, Bi and Sr, respectively. Corrosion immersion tests also revealed that the element additions have a detrimental effect on the corrosion rate of alloys, due to the increase of boundaries between the Al and eutectic Si phases.
研究经Bi、Sb和Sr改性的Al-11Si-2Cu-0.80Zn压铸铝合金的显微组织演变、力学性能和腐蚀行为。力学性能测试结果表明,Bi、Sb和Sr的添加引起合金中共晶Si形貌发生改变,从而使合金的冲击韧性、极限抗拉强度和伸长率增加。断裂表面分析结果表明,添加Sr或少量Bi和Sb,合金表面呈韧性断裂,而非准解理脆性断裂。此外,添加Sr、Bi和Sb后,合金的质量指标由基体合金的102 MPa分别增加到164.7 MPa、156.3 MPa和152.6 MPa。在Na Cl溶液中的极化腐蚀测试结果表明,分别添加Sb、Bi和Sr后,合金的腐蚀电位负移。浸泡腐蚀实验结果表明,由于Al和Si共晶相界面的增加,Sb、Bi和Sr元素的添加对合金的腐蚀速率具有决定性作用。
