description | The effects of aging treatment on microstructure and properties of Al-Zr-Sc(-Er) alloys were investigated by TEM, STEM, hardness tests and electric conductivity tests systematically. Results show that the aging response speed, peak hardness and thermal stability of Al-Zr-Sc alloys are significantly improved by increasing Sc content, and increasing Zr content improves hardness and thermal stability, while decreasing the electric conductivity. Adding Er in Al-Zr-Sc alloys improves the aging response speed and promotes the precipitation of Zr and Sc. Hardness and electrical conductivity of alloy are improved, owing to the formation of Al<sub>3</sub>(Er, Sc, Zr) phases with core-double shell structure. For experimental alloys, one-stage aging at 300℃ provides the higher hardness but lower electric conductivity; one-stage aging at 400℃ can increase the aging response speed and electrical conductivity but decrease hardness; two-stage aging at 300℃/24 h+400℃ can lead to better match of conductivity, tensile strength and heat resistance. |
