摘要
The strength and fatigue fracture behavior of A1-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr（-Sn） alloys were studied by performing tensile tests and fatigue crack propagation （FCP） tests. The microstructures of the experimental alloys were further analyzed using optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）; phase analysis of these alloys was conducted with an X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results show that when Sn is included, growth of the recrystallization grains in the solution-treated A1-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy is obstructed, the precipitation-free zone （PFZ） of the overaged A1-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sn alloy becomes narrow, and the grain boundary precipitates are smaller. Consequently, the FCP resistance is higher. In addition, the overaged Sn-containing alloy has considerably higher tensile strength than the alloy without Sn.
通过拉伸试验和疲劳裂纹扩展试验研究了Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr(-Sn)合金的强度和疲劳断裂行为。运用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对试验合金的微观组织进行分析检测。结果表明,Sn的添加可以阻碍固溶时Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr合金晶粒的长大,也使得过时效Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sn合金的晶界无沉淀析出带(PFZ)变窄及晶界析出相变小,因此,提高了合金的抗疲劳裂纹扩展能力。此外,过时效的Al-Zn-Mg-CuZr-Sn合金具有较高的抗拉强度。
