Abstract:
The AA3003 aluminum-alloy melt was treated with different types of melt treatment, and the effect of the melt treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy was investigated. The results show that the impurity content of the untreated (UT) AA3003 aluminum alloy reached 0.6801 %. Its structure contains two kinds of particles, beta-Al (FeMn) and alpha-Al (MnFeSi), whose distributions look like long strips, massive and skeletal forms, reducing the strength and plastic toughness of the material. After the efficient integrated treatment (EIT), the impurity content of the alloy decreased significantly, and the fluidity of the aluminum melt was improved, which is conducive to the role of a refiner, refining the cast grain size. An addition of La and Ce during the EIT eliminates the presence of the harmful second-phase Mn (MnFe) Si and Al (FeMn) distributed at the grain boundaries. The grain boundaries become stable, and the heat resistance and high-temperature performance of the alloy are improved, which is advantageous for the hot-deformation processing. The purity of the AA3003 aluminum alloy is significantly improved with the EIT, which is conducive to the subsequent grain refinement and modification so that the metallurgical quality of the alloy is significantly improved. Its mechanical properties at room temperature and after a thermal deformation are superior to those of the AA3003 aluminum alloy processed with the conventional integrated treatment (CIT).
