Abstract: The formation Gibbs energy of the intermetallic phases at the interface of cold rolling Cu/Al clad metal sheet in annealing process was calculated theoretically. The concept and the calculating method of effective formation Gibbs energy which can predict the formation sequence was proposed. By the means of that theory, the calculated formation sequence of the intermetallic phases at 200-300 was worked out for the cold rolling Cu/Al clad metal sheet in annealing process, i.e. Al₂Cu (Al side), AlCu (mid-layer) and Al₄Cu₉(Cu side). Besides, the boundary layer organizational microstructure of the composite material was analyzed by the means of SEM and XRD. As a result, the annealing temperature is the primary factor which affects the formation of the intermetallic phases of the cold rolling Cu/Al clad metal sheet, while the holding time is the second one. The observed formation sequence of the intermetallic phases of cold rolling Cu/Al clad metal sheet on annealing temperature 250-300 was: Al₂Cu (Al side), Al₄Cu₉(Cu side) and AlCu (mid-side).

Abstract: In this paper, a AlMgSi alloy for sheet materials was designed on the base of 6111 aluminum alloy, the alloy sheet was fabricated by the rolling process combination of hot and cold rolling, the effect of rolling process on the microstructure of alloy was studied. The results show that different 1st rolling pass reductions of 13%, 33% and 47%, alloy microstructure changes obviously. With the increasing of 1st rolling pass reductions, the re-crystallization structure grow in quantity, re-crystallization grain more and more dense, flat, uniform, and the second phase particles are also more small, distributes more uniform. When the first cold rolled reduction is 47%, degree of grain refinement, the second phase particles fragmentation and tissue uniformity in rolling 3st state are obviously superior to the 1st state and 2st states. The deformation inhomogeneity can be overcome by improving the first reduction rate, the re-crystallization process of synchronization between surface layer and the center layer is better.

Abstract: The semi-solid compression behaviors and the microstructure of Al-Fe alloy prepared by electromagnetic stirred were investigated in the strain rate range of 5×10-3 s-1 to 5×10-1 s-1 and the temperature range of 610 to 640°C on INSTRON-5500R materials testing machine. The experimental results showed that, during the semi-solid deformation of Al-Fe alloy，the peak value of true stress decreased with elevating deformation temperature. As the deformation increased, the stress peak value of the high solid fraction alloy was tending upwards, and that of the low solid fraction was tending downwards. The peak increased with increasing the strain rate. Al-Fe alloy was sensitive to strain rate during semi-solid compression. The strain softening phenomenon would happen. The smaller strain rate, the longer softening process, the stress falling was more slowly. The strain softening was a reason that the semi-solid alloy structure was instability during deformation. The semi-solid deformational behaviors of Al-Fe alloy was bound up with deformation temperature, strain rate, and deforming extent.
