实验研究了复合添加微量元素La和Al-5Ti-1B对Al-Cu合金凝固组织的影响, 发现与单独添加Al-5Ti-1B相比, 复合添加Al-5Ti-1B和微量La可进一步细化Al-Cu合金凝固组织, 降低α-Al的形核过冷度. 结合高分辨透射电镜表征和理论计算, 探明了复合添加微量元素La和Al-5Ti-1B对Al-Cu合金凝固组织的细化机理: 经Al-5Ti-1B细化处理的Al-Cu合金凝固时, Cu富集于α-Al与TiB2粒子的界面处, 增加了α-Al与TiB2粒子间的错配度, 降低了TiB2粒子对α-Al的异质形核能力; 添加微量的La能有效降低α-Al与TiB2粒子间的错配度, 减小TiB2粒子和α-Al间的界面能及接触角, 从而提高TiB2粒子促进α-Al的异质形核能力和Al-5Ti-1B对Al-Cu合金晶粒的细化效果.
Grain refinement of aluminium alloys can not only reduce the defects (such as segregation and hot tearing) but also improve the mechanical properties. Adding Al-5Ti-1B master alloy to the melt has become a common method to refine the solidification microstructure of aluminium alloys. A lot of researches have been carried out to uncover the grain refining mechanisms as well as to show the microstructure formation under the effect of grain refiner. These researches demonstrated that the grain refining efficiency is closely related to the number density of TiB2 particles as well as the solute Ti concentration in the melt. However, there exist still problems to be resolved, such as the limited grain refinement potency of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy. Recently, the addition of trace La to the melt has attracted much attention to control the microstructure of aluminium alloys. The Al-Cu alloys are widely applied to the automobile and aerospace fields due to their high strength, good ductility and high temperature properties. It has been reported that Cu can segregate to Al/TiB2 interface in the Al-Cu melt inoculated with Al-5Ti-1B master alloy. But the effect of Cu segregation on the grain refinement result is not clear yet. Meanwhile, whether the grain refinement effect of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy on Al-Cu alloy can be improved by the addition of trace La has not been reported. Solidification experiments are carried out for Al-2Cu alloy with the addition of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy+ trace La. The synergistic effect of trace La and Al-5Ti-1B on the solidification microstructure of Al-2Cu alloy is investigated. It is found that trace La can effectively enhance the refinement result of Al-2Cu alloy and further diminish the nucleation undercooling. Experimental and calculated results demonstrate that solute Cu segregates to the Al/TiB2 interface and thus increases the interatomic spacing mismatch between Ti (0001) plane of the TiB2 particles and the interfacial monolayer, while La segregation reduces the interatomic spacing mismatch. The trace La addition reduces the interfacial energy between α-Al and TiB2 particles, improves the potency of TiB2 particles to nucleate α-Al, and thus enhances the grain refinement result of Al-5Ti-1B master alloy. -
