摘要
The precipitation phenomena and the related hardening in an Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy were studied by calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and microhardness measurements. The main calorimetric peaks were identified to be due to beta '', theta' and Q' phases precipitation. The hardening during aging at room temperature and 160 degrees C, was respectively, explained by atomic clusters and GP zones formation and by GP zones and beta ''/theta' phases coprecipitation. Although the mechanical properties variation during aging at 200 degrees C is simple, the corresponding microstructural evolution is complex: on the basis of the DSC results, the increasing of microhardness values, is mainly due to the coprecipitation of GP zones and beta ''/theta' phases, however, the maximum hardening is explained by the coexistence of beta ''/theta' and theta '' phases. Another important conclusion is that during aging at 160 degrees C and 200 degrees C, the theta' phase is essentially developed from GP zones.
