摘要
The Precipitation hardening behavior of Al-4Cu-1.3Mg-0.9Si during the aging was investigated by hardness measurement, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses, tensile test and microstructure analyses. The results show that the alloy exhibited a superior precipitation hardening ability. The aging response rate was greatly accelerated with elevating the aging temperature from 160°C to 220°C, and the peak hardness was remarkably decreased. The major strengthening precipitates of the alloy aging at 190 °C was the S phase. After ageing at 190°C for 24h, the precipitates of the alloy were S phase with a small amount of cubic phase. Comparing with Al-4Cu-1.3Mg alloy prepared under the same conditions, the Al-4Cu-1.3Mg-0.9Si alloy exhibited superior tensile strengths at room and elevated temperature.
