Abstract:The effects of Mg, Zn and Cu alloy elements on the electrical conductivity and anti-annealing softening property of Al-7Si-0.8Fe base alloy were studied in the present study. The influence mechanism was deeply discussed. The electrical conductivity of the base alloy decreases to vary degrees after the addition of alloy elements. The electrical conductivities of the all alloys increase after being low-temperature annealed. The electrical conductivity of Mg-containing alloy remarkably increases to 22.9 MS/m. Relatively, the improvement of electrical conductivity of Zn or Cu-containing alloys is small. Mg addition can significantly improve the hardness and tensile strength by about 34.3% and 20.4% compared with the base alloy. Annealing softening occurs for the all alloys to different degrees. Mg addition shows the lowest annealing softening and high anti-annealing softening properties. The hardness and tensile strength of as-annealed Al-7Si-0.8Fe-0.5Mg alloy are 79 HB and 266 MPa, respectively. Mg addition can significantly refine the eutectic Si phase in the as-cast alloy. During the low-temperature annealing process, small Si particles obviously precipitate of in the base alloy and Zn or Cu-containing alloys. However, fine dispersion of Mg2Si phase precipitate in the Mg-containing alloy, ensuring the excellent resistance to annealing softening.
