-
摘要: 在铝合金粉末中添加质量分数为0、0.2%、0.4%及0.6%的稀土元素Y, 利用粉末冶金法制备2A12铝合金。通过金相组织观察、X射线衍射分析、扫描电子显微形貌表征、能谱分析及力学性能测试等手段, 研究了稀土元素Y对粉末冶金2A12铝合金组织和性能的影响, 总结了Y在铝合金中的分布特征。结果表明, 当稀土元素Y的质量分数为0.2%时, 2A12铝合金抗拉强度最高, 塑性最好; 添加Y可以抑制铝合金晶粒在烧结过程中的长大; 稀土元素Y主要以YAl相、Cu2Y相和YAl2相的形式分布在基体晶界处, 少量Y固溶在铝基体中。Abstract: The 2A12 aluminum alloys were prepared by powder metallurgy technology with the addition of rare earth element Y in the mass fraction of 0, 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% in this study. The effects of Y addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 2A12 aluminum alloy were investigated by the metallographic analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrum analysis, and mechanical properties tests, and the distribution characteristics of Y in aluminum alloy were studied. The results show that, when the mass fraction of rare earth element Y is 0.2%, the 2A12 alloys achieve the highest tensile strength and the best plasticity. The Y addition can inhibit the grain growth of aluminum alloy during sintering. In addition, most of Y is distributed in the grain boundary of aluminium matrix as YAl, Cu2Y, and YAl2, and a small part of Y is dissolved into the aluminum matrix.
