Abstract:For the Al-5.0Cu-0.8Mg alloy fabricated by gravity casting, the 12h natural aging was added between the solution and artificial aging to study its influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The transitional phases form during the natural aging following the solution, leading to a significant increase in microhardness. Meanwhile, this microstructure variation accelerates the formation and growth of stable strengthening phases in the same artificial aging. Unfortunately, the 12 h natural aging ad… Show more
