主 题:Aluminum alloy Twin-roll casting Center segregation Fe-containing phase Nucleation substrate
摘 要:Serious center segregation greatly limits the application of twin-roll casting(TRC)technology for produc-ing 6xxx alloy ***,Al-0.9Mg-0.6Si-0.2Cu-0.1Fe(wt.%,6061)strips with different thicknesses were fabricated by TRC,and we found that the center segregation was well relieved with the thick-ness increased from 3 mm to 4 *** reveal the mechanisms of mitigation of center segregation in the 4 mm strip,various techniques including solidification simulation,crystallographic calculation,elec-tron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and electron probe micro-analyzer(EPMA)were *** re-sults disclosed that the Fe-containing phase in the 3 mm strip wasπ-AlFeMgSi,while the counterpart in the 4 mm strip wasα-***α-AlFeSi could serve as nucleation substrates for Mg_(2)Si and Q-AlCuMgSi phases,thus promoting the uniform distribution of elements and preventing the accumulation of phases in the center *** matching planes between theα-AlFeSi and Q/Mg_(2)Si were exam-ined as:(1120)_(α-AlFeSi)//(0001)_(Q),(0001)_(α-AlFeSi)//(110)_(Mg2Si),and(1120)_(α-AlFeSi)//(110)_(Mg2Si).Meanwhile,the smaller roll separating force during the TRC process in the 4 mm strip could weaken the force-induced liquid flow behavior in the semi-solid region,which is the other reason for the alleviation of center *** to the elimination of the center segregation,a more excellent fracture elongation was achieved in the as-homogenized 4 mm strip(∼29%)compared with the counterpart of the 3 mm strip(∼20%).This work may provide a strategy to eliminate the center segregation,thus further promoting the application of TRC process and producing high-performance Al alloy strips efficiently.
