Thermal migration of alloying agents in aluminium
MATERIALS RESEARCH EXPRESS(2016)
摘要
The in situ thermal migration of alloying agents in an Al-Mg-Si-Li alloy is studied using surface sensitive photo-electron and electron diffraction/imaging techniques. Starting with the preparation of an almost oxide free surface (oxide thickness = 0.1 nm), the relative abundance of alloying agents (Mg, Li and Si) at the surface are recorded at various stages of thermal annealing, from room temperature to melting (which is observed at 550 degrees C). Prior to annealing, the surface abundances are below the detection limit << 1%, in agreement with their bulk concentrations of 0.423% Si, 0.322% Mg and 0.101% Li (atomic%). At elevated temperatures, all three alloying agents appear at drastically increased concentrations (13.3% Si, 19.7% Mgand 45.3% Li), but decrease again with further elevation of the annealing temperature or after melting. The temperature at which the migration occurs is species dependent, with Li migration occurring at significantly higher temperatures than Si and Mg. The mechanism of migration also appears to be species dependent with Li migration occurring all over the surface butMgmigration being restricted to grain boundaries.
