Effect of Alloy Composition on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-Fe-V-Si Heat-resistant Aluminum Alloy

Heat-resistant aluminum alloy because of its low density, low price, good heat resistance and corrosion resistance, has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, weapons and other industrial fields. In this paper, preparation of Al-Fe-V-Si heat-resistant aluminum alloy materials is used in the RS/PM process, and studied the influence law of effect of alloy composition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of heat-resistant aluminum alloy. The results show that, Fe, V, Si element content and Fe/V ratio has great effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties. When the Fe content is too low, the content of Al-12(Fe, V)(3)Si phase is less. Mechanics to improve material properties cannot be maximum; if the content of Fe is excessive, the strength of the material do not increase, but decrease the plastic. The addition of V element can be stabilized in Al12(Fe, V)3 Si Si phase; and the addition of Si can inhibit the second-phase dispersion phase coarsening and decomposition, increase the high temperature stability of materials; Fe/V ratio affects the coarsening rate of second-phase particles, thus affecting the thermal stability of materials.
