The invention discloses an alloying and heat treatment method for improving room-temperature
plasticity of cast aluminum-
copper alloys. Ag and Cd elements are added at the same time to form Ag-Cd particles after aging, which can be
cut by dislocations during the deformation process and improve dislocations. The free path of motion improves the
plasticity of the
alloy at
room temperature. The addition of
Cd element can not only refine the θ′ phase in the
alloy grain, but also make the θ′ phase that was bypassed by dislocations can be
cut through, greatly improving the free path of
dislocation movement, and also significantly promoting the high-Cu aluminum
alloy. The non-network discontinuous distribution of the
grain boundary equilibrium phase θ reduces the
brittleness of the alloy, which can improve the
room temperature plasticity of the alloy. The Ag-Cd particles and the dispersed and precipitated θ′ phase can make up for the
strength loss caused by the reduction of the Ω phase, improve the strength and
toughness of the alloy, and greatly improve the processability of alloy
casting and the service safety of castings. The introduction of
natural aging after
solid solution can promote the formation of GP regions, increase the
number density of θ′ phases that are coherent with the matrix and can be
cut by dislocations, and the free path of
dislocation movement, thereby improving the plasticity of the alloy at
room temperature.
