Abstract:The microstructure of the as-cast Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-0.12Ce aluminum alloy and microstructure evolution during homogenization were investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results indicate that the severe dendritic segregation exists in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-0.12Ce alloy ingot. The as-cast microstructure mainly involves α(Al), non-equilibrium eutectics (α(Al)+Mg(Zn, Al, Cu)2), and small amounts of θ(Al2Cu), Al8Cu4Ce and Al7Cu2Fe phases. During homogenization, the lamellar eutectic structures in the as-cast alloy is dissolved into the matrix, meanwhile, a transformation from Mg(Zn, Al, Cu)2 to Al2CuMg phase also occurs. The overburnt temperature of the alloy is 474.87 ℃. The optimum parameters of single homogenization are (465 ℃, 40 h), which is consistent with the result of homogenization kinetic analysis. The eutectic phases are eliminated more sufficiently with two-step homogenization treatment at 435 ℃ for 12 h and then at 470 ℃ for 32 h. The residual second particles after homogenization are some small Al2CuMg, Fe-rich and Al8Cu4Ce phases.
