摘要
Intermetallic phase evolution of 7050 aluminum alloy during homogenization was investigated in detail by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, electron probe micro-analysis and X-ray diffraction methods. The results show that severe dendritic segregation exists in as-cast alloy. The dissolvable intermetallic phases in as-cast alloy consist of equilibrium eta (MgZn2) phase, Cu and Mg enriched non-equilibrium aluminides and Cu enriched non-equilibrium aluminides. During homogenization, Cu and Mg enriched non-equilibrium aluminides, Cu enriched non-equilibrium aluminides and eta (MgZn2) phase gradually dissolve into matrix. Equilibrium S (Al2CuMg) intermetallic phase nucleates and grows along the grain boundaries, and it disappears completely after multi-step homogenization. The proper homogenization processing is 400 degrees C x 10 h + step470 degrees C x 24 h + step485 degrees C x 4 h, which is consistent with the results of homogenizing kinetic analysis.
