Abstract
- Microporosity and second phases are typical components for casting 2050 alloy. In this paper, the evolution of both microporosity and the second phases during hot deformation of casting 2050 Al-Li alloy was studied. Firstly, based on industrial CT technology, the typical morphology characteristics of micropores during the hot deformation process of the alloy were studied and related statistics were carried out. The results show that with the increase of deformation strain, the volume, volume ratio, and porosity of the micropores gradually decreased, and the roundness gradually increased. Secondly, the detailed evolution mechanism of the second phases during hot deformation was studied by SEM, XRD, and TEM. It was found that with the increase of deformation strain, the thin plate T 1 phase gradually undergoes shearing and exhibits bend-shaped morphology in the SEM image, which was essentially a process of stress transfer from Al matrix to the T 1 phase. Meanwhile, the T 1 phase also experienced thinning and secondary precipitation. This is mainly attributed to the intensive interaction between the alloying elements within T 1 phase and the dislocations pile-up around T 1 phase during the hot deformation process. While for the large-size intermetallic phase AlCuFeMn, it breaks up gradually and oxide inclusion is generated at the broken site, which provides favorable conditions for the initiation and propagation of cracks during hot deformation. From TEM observation, it is found that there is Al 6 Mn intermetallic phase in the alloy matrix with different morphologies under different deformation strains. When the deformation strain reaches 70%, a large number of nanometer Al 6 Mn particles are dynamically precipitated near the dislocations. • Based on industrial CT technology, the typical morphological characteristics of microporosity during the hot deformation of 2050 Al-Li alloy were studied. • The second phase present in the as-cast and hot-deformed forms of 2050 Al-Li alloy were investigated to reveal the evolution of second phase during the hot-deformation process. • The second phase present in the as-cast and hot-deformed forms of 2050 Al-Li alloy were investigated to reveal the evolution of second phase during the hot-deformation process. • The Al6Mn intermetallic phase shows different morphologies during hot deformation. And a large number of nanoscale Al6Mn particles are dynamically precipitated near the dislocations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
