摘要: 针对2195 Al-Li合金在传统时效处理中强度与耐腐蚀性难以协同提升的难题, 本研究旨在探明预变形与非等温时效耦合工艺对其微观组织、力学性能及腐蚀行为的调控作用, 以寻求综合性能优异的高效热处理方案。对经固溶处理的2195 Al-Li合金试样分别施加4%、8%和10%预变形, 随后进行非等温时效处理(以20 ℃/h的速率升温至200 ℃, 再以40 ℃/h的速率冷却至100 ℃)。利用拉伸试验、扫描电镜(SEM)和光学显微镜等手段, 系统分析不同工艺下合金的力学性能、断口形貌、析出相特征及晶间腐蚀行为。研究表明, 预变形显著促进了T1相(Al2CuLi)的细密析出。所有合金均在冷却至160 ℃时达到强度峰值, 10%预变形试样屈服强度最高(535 MPa), 而8%预变形试样综合性能最优、强塑性积达到最大值。微观分析表明, 8%预变形试样晶界无析出带(PFZ)最窄, 断口呈现大量韧窝与撕裂脊, 表现为穿晶韧性断裂。非等温时效处理还显著提升了试样的耐腐蚀性, 8%预变形试样的晶间腐蚀深度仅为36.7 μm, 较传统峰时效态(91.8 μm)下降约60%, 这一结果归因于其细密的T1相与狭窄的PFZ。预变形与非等温时效耦合作用可协同优化2195 Al-Li合金的强度、塑性及耐腐蚀性。其中, 最佳预变形量为8%, 该工艺不仅将峰值强度的时效时间从16 h大幅缩短至6 h、效率提升62.5%, 而且通过细化晶内析出相与窄化晶界无析出带, 实现了优良的综合性能匹配, 为航空航天构件热处理工艺开发提供了依据。Abstract: Aiming at the challenge of simultaneously enhancing the strength and corrosion resistance of 2195 Al-Li alloy through traditional aging treatment, this study aims to explore the regulatory effects of the coupled process of pre-deformation and non-isothermal aging on its microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior so as to seek an efficient heat treatment scheme with excellent comprehensive performance. Solution-treated 2195 Al-Li alloy samples were subjected to pre-deformations of 4%, 8% and 10% followed by non-isothermal aging treatment heating at a rate of 20 ℃/h to 200 ℃ and then cooling at a rate of 40 ℃/h to 100 ℃. Tensile tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy were used to systematically analyze the mechanical properties, fracture morphology, precipitate characteristics and intergranular corrosion behavior of the alloy under different processing conditions. The results show that pre-deformation significantly promotes the fine and dense precipitation of T1 phase (Al2CuLi). All alloys reach the peak strength when cooled to 160 ℃. The 10% pre-deformed sample has the highest yield strength 535 MPa while the 8% pre-deformed sample has the best comprehensive performance with the maximum strength-ductility product. Microstructural analysis shows that the 8% pre-deformed sample has the narrowest precipitate-free zone PFZ at grain boundaries and its fracture surface presents a large number of dimples and tear ridges showing transgranular ductile fracture. Non-isothermal aging treatment also significantly improves corrosion resistance. The intergranular corrosion depth of the 8% pre-deformed sample is only 36.7 μm which is about 60% lower than that of the traditional peak-aged state 91.8 μm.This result is attributed to its fine T1 phase and narrow PFZ. The coupled treatment of pre-deformation and non-isothermal aging can synergistically optimize the strength, ductility and corrosion resistance of 2195 Al-Li alloy. Among the tested conditions 8% is the optimal pre-deformation amount. This process not only greatly shortens the aging time of peak strength from 16 h to 6 h with an efficiency improvement of 62.5% but also achieves excellent comprehensive performance matching by refining intragranular precipitates and narrowing grain boundary PFZ providing an important basis for the development of heat treatment processes for aerospace components.
