Influence of Partial Er Substitution for Sc on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Short-Processed Al-4.7Mg-0.6Mn-0.3Zr-0.3Sc Sheets
Standard AA5083 (ZSE000), AA5083 modified with 0.3 wt.% Zr and 0.3wt.% Sc (ZSE330) and AA5083 modified with 0.3 wt.% Zr, 0.2wt.% Sc and 0.1wt.%Er(ZSE321) sheets were fabricated through a short process (including a simulated twin-belt continuous casting, subsequent direct rolling, intermediate anneal...

| Summary: | Standard AA5083 (ZSE000), AA5083 modified with 0.3 wt.% Zr and 0.3wt.% Sc (ZSE330) and AA5083 modified with 0.3 wt.% Zr, 0.2wt.% Sc and 0.1wt.%Er(ZSE321) sheets were fabricated through a short process (including a simulated twin-belt continuous casting, subsequent direct rolling, intermediate annealing, cold rolling and stress-relief annealing) to systematically investigate the influence of partially substituting Er for Sc on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of short-processed Al-4.7Mg-0.6Mn-0.3Zr-0.3Sc sheets. The results show that ZSE321 presents the optimal tensile properties (UTS: 541 MPa; 0.2%PS: 469 MPa and EF:7.7%) among the three experimental sheets. This is attributed to significant grain refinement, the inhibition of the recrystallization and promotion on the precipitation of Al<sub>3</sub>(Sc, Zr, Er) nanoparticles. Furthermore, the corrosion properties of the experimental sheets were also explored in this study, and the short-processed ZSE321 sheet presents the optimum corrosion resistance. |
