Variation of Microstructure and Properties of Re-7075 Al Alloy after Homogenizing Annealing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The variation of microstructure and properties of RE-7075 Al alloy after homogenizing annealing were studied by some modern analytical instruments which including OM(optical microscope),SEM(scanning electron microscopy),EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy ), Brinell hardness and conductivity meter of SIGMASCOPE SMP10 type in this experiment. The results shows that the alloy′s microstructure was uniform ,reduced the volume fraction of second phase,increased supersaturation of matrix and eliminated gradually dendritic segregation in homogenizing annealing state. The primary phase of matrix microstructure contain α(Al),T(Al2Mg3Zn3) and grain boundary microstructure include α(Al),Al2Cu,AlCuMg4La4 after homogenizing annealing.Compared with as cast condition,the conductivity and the hardness reduced after homogenizing annealing.
