摘要
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hardness tests and tensile tests were performed to investigate the effect of aging on microstructure and mechanical properties of forged Al-4.4Cu-0.7Mg-0.6Si alloy. The results show that the alloy exhibits splendid mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength of 504 MPa and an elongation of 10.1% after aging at 170 degrees C for 16 h. With tensile testing temperature increasing to 150 degrees C, the strength of the alloy declines slightly to 483 MPa. Then, the strength drops quickly when temperature reaches over 200 degrees C. The high strength of the alloy in peak-aged condition is caused by a considerable amount of theta' and AlMgSiCu (Q) precipitates. The relatively stable mechanical properties tested below 150 degrees C are mainly ascribed to the stability of theta' precipitates. The growth of theta' and Q precipitates and the generation of theta phase lead to a rapid drop of the strength when temperature is over 150 degrees C.
