Effect of Zn on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr Alloy by Powder Metallurgy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, full-density Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr powder metallurgy (P/M) alloy is prepared by hot-press sintering in vacuum at 600°C. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the effects of Zn additive in the range of 7.2-8.4 wt.% on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloys. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microstructure (SEM) and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), and mechanical properties such as tensile strength are measured. The porosity decreases gradually with increasing of Zn and it achieves 0.01% with a density of 2.95 g/cm3 at 8.4% Zn. The tensile strength reaches the maximal value of 436 MPa at 8.4% Zn.
