Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Aluminum alloys of the 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si) are among the most prevalent and established structural materials in the world. Their use dates back decades, and currently they are crucial to the construction and transportation industries. One of the primary reasons for this is heat-treatability, i.e. the ability to control strength and ductility relationships with a relatively low temperature artificial aging treatment. Although multiple aluminum alloys can be employed for this purpose (e.g. 2000, 7000 series), Al-Mg-Si alloys are capable of achieving a highly attractive combination of moderate to high strength (sometimes > 350 MPa UTS), high ductility (>20% elongation), and excellent corrosion resistance, extrudability, weldability, and surface finish. 350 MPa UTS), high ductility (>20% elongation), and excellent corrosion resistance, extrudability, weldability, and surface finish.20% elongation), and excellent corrosion resistance, extrudability, weldability, and surface finish. The largest unknown in the world of 6000 series alloys today is a result of natural aging (NA) prior to artificial aging (AA), and the rather mysterious impacts on strengthening precipitation and hardenability that are produced. The origins of these impacts involve complex interactions between solute atoms, solute-clusters, and vacancies, which ultimately influence the kinetics and thermodynamics of precipitation. Although this has been the topic of extensive research in recent years, the actual mechanisms responsible are still very controversial. This dissertation will focus on the effects of prior natural aging on artificial age hardening response under a wide range of compositional and heat treatment conditions. Ultimately it will be shown that the behavior of naturally aged solute-clusters during artificial aging is dependent on alloy composition, and furthermore that these clusters are directly responsible for the changes in strengthening precipitation and performance. General background to the topic and an overview of the experimental methods are described in Chapters 1-2. The most important chapters of this dissertation are Chapters 3-4, which focus on the influence of prior NA in high strength Al-Mg-Si alloys after a water quench from the solutionization temperature. In Chapter 3, a compositional (Mg/Si) dependence of the NA effect is identified, and proposed to due to a corresponding dependence of NA cluster stability during artificial aging. In Chapter 4, the actions of NA clusters at AA temperatures are investigated with atom probe tomography, and the relative thermal stabilities suggested in Chapter 3 are proven. The rest of the dissertation includes studies focused on the NA effect under different compositional and heat-treatment conditions, using the previous cluster thermal stability findings to aid in analysis (Chapter 5). Mechanical property characterization of key experimental conditions is performed in Chapter 6, and good agreement with the previous results is found. Finally, key conclusions, implications, and suggested future work is summarized in Chapter 7 & 8.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional casting alloys Al-7Si-Mg A356/7 contain between 6.5 and 7.5% Si, together with 0.25-0.7% Mg and are used for critical castings in the automotive and aerospace industries. These alloys are also the most popular alloys used for semi-solid metal (SSM) forming due to good castability and fluidity imparted by the large volumes of the Al-Si eutectic. Despite their industrial importance, there is a lack of detailed research work revealing precipitate micro- and nanostructural evolution during aging of these alloys compared with the Al-Mg-Si 6000 series wrought alloys. This study characterises the heat treatment response of SSM-processed Al-7Si-Mg alloys in comparison with conventionally liquid cast alloys (investment casting and gravity die casting). It is shown that, provided that the maximum quantity of the alloy's Mg is placed into solid solution during solution treatment, and that the alloy's Fe content is within specification, the response to age hardening of Al-7Si-Mg alloys is independent of the processing technique used. The nanostructural evolution of Al- 7Si-Mg alloys after artificial aging with and without natural pre-aging has been characterized using transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography and correlated with hardness and mechanical tensile properties. The number densities and Mg:Si ratios of solute clusters, GP zones and ;?-needles were determined. The heat treatment response of SSM-processed casting alloys A356/7 alloys are also compared with SSM-processed Al-Mg-Si 6000 series wrought alloys, with the advantage of having similar globular microstructures. The high Si-content of the casting alloys compared to the wrought alloys offers several advantages, including a faster artificial aging response (shorter T6 aging cycles), higher strength for comparable Mg contents and less sensitivity to prior natural aging on peak strength. Finally, an age-hardening model was developed for the Al-7Si-Mg alloys, including a method of incorporating the effects of changes in Mg-content on the aging curves.

Download or read book Atom Probe Tomography written by Michael K. Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microanalytical technique of atom probe tomography (APT) permits the spatial coordinates and elemental identities of the individual atoms within a small volume to be determined with near atomic resolution. Therefore, atom probe tomography provides a technique for acquiring atomic resolution three dimensional images of the solute distribution within the microstructures of materials. This monograph is designed to provide researchers and students the necessary information to plan and experimentally conduct an atom probe tomography experiment. The techniques required to visualize and to analyze the resulting three-dimensional data are also described. The monograph is organized into chapters each covering a specific aspect of the technique. The development of this powerful microanalytical technique from the origins offield ion microscopy in 1951, through the first three-dimensional atom probe prototype built in 1986 to today's commercial state-of-the-art three dimensional atom probe is documented in chapter 1. A general introduction to atom probe tomography is also presented in chapter 1. The various methods to fabricate suitable needle-shaped specimens are presented in chapter 2. The procedure to form field ion images of the needle-shaped specimen is described in chapter 3. In addition, the appearance of microstructural features and the information that may be estimated from field ion microscopy are summarized. A brief account of the theoretical basis for processes of field ionization and field evaporation is also included.
