Effect of Non-Isothermal Aging on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of 2A12 Aluminum Alloy.

ABSTRACT: The effect of linear non-isothermal aging and composite non-isothermal aging on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 2A12 aluminum alloy was investigated. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to study the microstructure and intergranular corrosion morphology, and the precipitates were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the mechanical properties of 2A12 aluminum alloy were improved by both non-isothermal aging techniques due to the formation of an S' phase and a point S″ phase in the alloy matrix. Linear non-isothermal aging resulted in better mechanical properties than composite non-isothermal aging. However, the cor
