摘 要: 采用基于Multi-States Ising Model的Monte Carlo算法, 模拟研究了Al-Cu-Li-xMg合金时效初期微观结构的演变过程, 结果表明: 时效早期, 在Al-1.2Cu-5.7Li合金中微结构的主要形态是Li原子团簇、 Li-Cu原子对和空位团簇, 且空位团簇的出现多出现在Li原子团簇附近, 形成共生形态; 而Al-1.2Cu-5.7Li-xMg合金中, 出现明显的Cu-Clusters, 而Li原子的偏聚过程则受到抑制, 且空位团簇的形态也发生了变化, 多与Cu-Mg原子团簇形成共生形态; 微量Mg的作用是通过Mg/Li原子间存在强烈的相互作用调整Li原子团簇的偏聚形态, 导致大量被Li原子Clustering过程锁定的Cu原子和空位被置换出来, 进而影响Li、 Cu原子团簇的形态和空位的分布形态, 并影响随后的析出相分布形态。

Abstract: The Monte Carlo Method, which based on the Multi-States Ising Model, was applied to simulate the microstructural evolution of Al-Cu- Li-xMg alloys during the initial ageing stage. The simulation results show that: there are Li-clusters, Li-Cu co-clusters and vacancy-clusters in Al-Cu-Li alloy during the initial ageing stage, and Li clusters exhibit a tendency to co-existed with vacancy clusters; with small addition of Mg, Cu clusters are provoked, while the clustering of Li atoms is restrained, the vacancy clusters have a tendency to co-existed with Cu-Mg co-clusters. Small addition of Mg has strongly effect on the morphology of Li clusters, which can release Cu atoms and vacancies from the locking-state by Li clusters. Therefore, the morphology of precipitates can be affected by the addition of Mg subsequently.
