摘要
The effect of grain refiner, Mn and Sn additions on the sliding wear behavior of A356 aluminum alloys was investigated. The microstructure and worn surfaces of the studied alloys were characterized by optical microscopy（OM）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The experimental results indicate that the alloy refined by Al-5Ti-B alloy exhibits equiaxed α（Al） dendrites and performs better wear resistance compared with the alloy without the grain refiner. Moreover, the addition of Mn can change the β-Al5 Fe Si phase to α-Al（Mn,Fe）Si phase and reduce the possibility of crack formation, thus improving the wear resistance. Sn added to A356 aluminum alloy forms Mg2 Sn precipitates after heat treatment. Therefore, the unrealizable precipitation hardening Mg2 Si phase and the softening β-Sn phase can reduce the hardness of the alloy, and finally reduce the wear resistance.
研究添加Al-5Ti-B、Mn和Sn对A356铝合金滑动磨损性能的影响。采用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜观察合金的显微组织和磨损表面。结果表明,Al-5Ti-B晶粒细化的合金具有α(Al)等轴晶组织,比未细化合金具有更好的抗磨损性能。另外,Mn元素的添加能使β-Al5Fe Si转变成α-Al(Mn,Fe)Si相,减少裂纹形成的倾向并提高合金的抗磨损性能。A356合金中添加Sn会形成Mg2Sn相,导致合金不能形成Mg2Si析出强化相;同时软化的β-Sn相会降低合金的硬度并最终降低合金的抗磨损性能。
