Study on the Microstructure and Properties of ZL205A Alloy under Partial Remelting Treatment

Abstract:

In this paper, effects of partial remelting treatment on microstructure and properties of ZL205A alloy were studied in detail. The results show that the grain size of ZL205A alloy decreases at different degree. The grain size increases first and then decreases with increasing of returns content. The average grain size of the primary ZL205A alloy was measured to be about 60 μm, and the good result can be got of the ZL205A alloys with the average particle size of α (Al) phase being about 33 μm after adding 20wt.% returns. The ZL205A alloy with 20 wt.% returns has a considerably high tensile strength and yield strength of 525MPa and 445 MPa, respectively, which is much higher than 501 MPa and 421 MPa of primary ZL205A alloy, meanwhile the elongation level is up to14%.
