Study on refining effect of titanium element on regenerated 7050 aluminum alloy
The grain refinement of regenerated 7050 aluminum alloy ingots was experimen-tally studied with different Ti contents and holding time in the furnace after adding Ti.The results show that when the Ti content reaches 0.035%in 7050 aluminum alloy with recycled aluminum as the raw material,grains are most refined and the dendrites basically disappear.When it reaches 0.036%and holding time is no more than 2 hours,grains tend to coarsen slightly,while great coarsening will occur when holding time reaches or exceeds 3 hours.Af-ter adding Ti to the regenerated 7050 aluminum liquid,holding time should not exceed 2 hours,and rapid cooling should be conducted for casting.
