Abstract
The effect of Er addition on the fluidity and microstructure transformation of the as-cast and T5 heat-treated ZL205A alloys was investigated by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The fluidity of the liquid metal after adding Er was tested and the fracture characteristics of the material were analyzed. The results indicated that Er was mainly dissolved into an α-Al matrix near the grain boundaries (GBs). It is easily segregated and enriched in the intersection of the GBs or the interface between the α and θ phase, which caused the intermetallic compounds to be distributed along the GBs to the neck and to fuse. Er could also inhibit the diffusion of Cu atoms in the process of solid solution, so that increased the residual eutectic structures in the crystal, while accelerating the precipitation progress of the Guinier-Preston (GP) zone and θ' phase and increasing precipitation of the θ phase. A small amount of precipitation of θ phase and micro-scale Er (0.1-0.5 wt %) can significantly increase the fluidity and reduce the casting defects, which can effectively improve the castability of the ZL205A alloy. The interface between the (AlCuEr) phase and matrix is the main area of microcracks, through analyzing the fracture morphology.
