Abstract
The effect of Zr content on the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was investigated. As the Zr to Ti addition ratio increased the decrease of hardness due to the long time exposure at high temperature reduced so that the thermal stability of the alloy was improved. From the TEM work it was found that the coarsening of precipitates was responsible for the decrease of hardness and the coarsening of precipitates could be suppressed by the addition of Zr, XRD, SAD and EDS analyses confirmed that these precipitates were consisted of DO$\sub$22/, and DO$\sub$23/ type Al$_3$(Ti+Zr) ternary in termetallic compounds. Especially for the DO$\sub$23/ Al$_3$(Ti+Zr), the lattice parameter changed toward the smaller lattice mismatch between the precipitate and Al matrix as the Zr content increased. Therefore, it was considered that the improvement of thermal stability of Al-8wt.% (Ti+Zr) alloys was due to the formation of the ternary Al$_3$( Ti + Zr) intermetallic compounds.
기계적합금화한 Al-8wt.%(Ti+Zr)합금의 열적안정성에 미치는 Zr첨가의 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. Ti에 대한 Zr의 첨가비가 증가함에 따라 고온에서 장시간 노출에 따른 합금의 경도감소가 저하되어 합금의 열적안정성이 향상된 결과를 나타내었는데 이는 TEM 관찰결과 분산입자의 조대화가 억제되었기 때문이었다. XRD, SAD 및 EDS 분석결과 이러한 분산입자들은 DO$_{2+}$와 DO$_{23}$구조를 갖는 $Al_3$(Ti+Zr)삼원계 금속간화합물이었으며 특히 DO$_{23}$Al$_3$(Ti+Zr)은 Zr의 첨가비가 증가함에 따라 보다 작은 Al기지와의 격자간불일치도를 갖는 방향으로 격자상수가 변화하여 합금의 열적안정성 향상에 주된 기여를 한 것으로 생각된다
