摘要
The precipitation hardening behavior of it Type 319 aluminum alloy (Al-6.7 wt.% Si-3.75 wt.% Cu) with and without 0.45 wt.% Mg has been investigated. It is shown that both theta and Q phase exist in the as-cast samples and are dissolved during solution heat treatment. Subsequent artificial aging results in the precipitation of both the metastable theta' phase typical of aged alloy 319 and, in the case of the Mg-containing alloy, all additional and extremely small phase, which was identified as Q' based oil previous literature. Both types of precipitates have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy ITEM) and three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) tomography. The Mg-containing alloy exhibits higher strength and lower ductility, presumably due to both solid solution strengthening and the presence of the line Q' phase. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
