Abstract | For most of Al-Mg-Si-(Cu) alloys and their composites, artificial aging hardening can be impaired by precedent natural aging. In this study, a pre-aging treatment before natural aging was adopted to improve the hardness of the artificially aged SiCp/6092Al composite and 6092Al alloy. Effects of the multi-step aging treatment, including pre-aging, natural aging and final artificial aging, on microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated by the hardness test, conductivity test, differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that pre-aging exhibited a more obvious improvement in the final hardness in the composite, compared to that in the 6092Al alloy. The supersaturated solute atoms formed clusters during natural aging after pre-aging, but the clustering behaviors were different between the composite and 6092Al alloy, leading to the different pre-aging hardening effects. In the composite, it was easy for supersaturated solute atoms to participate into pre-aging clusters during natural aging. As pre-aging clusters could transform into precipitates during artificial aging, precipitate sizes were not affected by natural aging. In contrast, in the 6092Al alloy, it was easy for supersaturated solute atoms to form new clusters during natural aging after pre-aging. As it was difficult for these new clusters to transform into precipitates during artificial aging, precipitates were enlarged with prolonged natural aging time. Because the clustering behaviors during natural aging after pre-aging showed different effects on precipitation, the hardness after artificial aging did not change with prolonged natural aging time in the composite but decreased in the 6092Al alloy. |
