Optimization of the Composition and Structure of Deformable Heat Resistant Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

The necessity of finding scientifically grounded methods for the development of new heat-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys is presented in the present work. For this purpose, the analysis of modern methods for computer calculation of phase diagrams in multicomponent metal systems using the Thermo-Calc program was carried out. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of the phase diagram the Al-Cu-Mn-Zr system was carried out, as the basis of deformable high-temperature aluminum alloys. Isothermal and polythermal sections of the phase diagram were calculated in this system. The temperatures of phase transformations were calculated. The mass and volume fractions of the phases in the studied alloys were calculated. The range of concentrations and temperatures at which the maximum amount of dispersoids Al₂₀Cu₂Mn₃ may be achieved, was defined. The minimum amount of Al₂Cu phase is calculated, which should correspond to the best heat resistance of alloys. It is substantiated that in the alloys of a new generation of ALTEK type, the use of homogenization and quenching operations is inexpedient, which implies the possibility of a significant reduction in the cost of heat treatment in comparison with industrial alloys, such as 1201.
