Influence of Heat Treatment on Tensile Properties of High Vacuum Die Casted AlSi10MnMg Alloy
High vacuum die casted AlSi10MnMg alloy was treated by T5(180 ℃ ×2 h),T6(515 ℃ ×1 h air cooling+175 ℃×2 h)and T7(460 ℃ × 1 h water cooling+175 ℃ × 2.5 h)heat treatment,respectively.The microstructure and tensile properties of the alloy under different heat treatment conditions were studied.The results show that the aluminum matrix phase of the as-cast alloy grew after T5 heat treatment,the roundness was high,and the grain size was mainly concentrated in the range of 20-80 μm.The Si phase after T5 heat treatment was still a slender shap.Compared with those of the as-cast test alloy,the tensile strength of the test alloy increased by 8.9%and the percentage elongation after fracture was reduced by 9.1%after T5 heat treatment.After the heat treatment of T6 and T7,the irregular degree of aluminum matrix phase shape decreased,the grain size was 2-50,2-30 µm,respectively,and the microstructure was relatively uniform and dense.The Si phase changed from a slender shape in the cast state to a regular round shape.Compared with those of the as-cast test alloy,the tensile strength of the test alloy after T6 and T7 heat treatment was reduced by 26.0%and 23.9%,and the percentage elongation after fracture increased by 54.5%and 72.7%,respectively.The tensile fracture modes of the as-cast and T5 heat-treated test alloys were both tough-brittle mixed fracture.The fracture mode of the test alloys in T6 and T7 states were mainly ductile fracture,while the tough dimple in the tensile fracture of the T7 heat-treated test alloy was fine and deep,indicating better plasticity.
