Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed an aluminum (Al)-based alloy with the alpha-Al (fcc) matrix strengthened by the T-Al6Mg11Zn11 (cubic) intermetallic phase using a large two-phase region of alpha and T phases in the Al-Mg-Zn ternary system. Thermodynamic calculations assessed a composition of Al-5Mg-3.5Zn (at.%) for the designed alloy. The granular precipitates of the T phase were dispersed rather homogenously in the alpha-Al matrix at temperatures above 300°C. After aging at 200°C, numerous fine precipitates with a mean size of ~20 nm in the grain interior were observed. The present alloy (pre-aged at 200°C for 1 h) exhibited a high yield strength of approximately 260 MPa at 200°C, much higher than those of the conventional Al alloys.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現状,耐熱性アルミニウム(Al)合金が自動車用エンジンのターボチャージャにおける圧縮機内部のインペラに使用されている.既存の合金の適応限界温度は160~180℃であり,エンジン高効率化には圧縮機内部の高温・高圧化による圧縮比向上の観点から,高温強度の向上が要求されているが,本研究はその社会的要求を満たす新たな耐熱Al合金の設計原理の基盤を構築したものである.
