Research on Ultra-High Strength Al-11Zn-2.9Mg-1.7Cu Alloy Prepared by Spray Forming Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

An ultra-high strength Al-11Zn-2.9Mg-1.7Cu alloy has been prepared by spray forming process. The microstructures of as-cast and as-deposited alloys have been studied. XRD analysis result shows that the phases of spray formed Al-11Zn-2.9Mg-1.7Cu alloy consist of a-Al, MgZn2, Al2Cu and Al2CuMg. T6 heat treatment process is used to strengthen the alloy. The ultimate tensile strength reach up to 810MPa, and the elongation is about 9~11%. This kind of aluminum alloy is an ideal structural material for the aerospace and automobile industries.
