Abstract
The Zr50−x/2Co50−x/2Alx (x = 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) alloy sheets were prepared by copper mold suction casting, and the effect of Al content on the mechanical properties and the strengthening mechanism was thoroughly investigated. With Al addition, a Zr5Co7Al3 intermetallic compound formed and precipitated at the grain boundaries or inside the grains, which produced strong synergistic effects of secondary phase strengthening, fine grain strengthening and solid solution strengthening. However, the precipitation of intermetallic compounds can lead to the formation of shrinkage cavities at grain boundaries, and the negative effect of adding too much Al is greater than the strengthening effect, resulting in a gradual decrease in strength. Therefore, the best synergistic strengthening effect is achieved when the Al content is 5 at.%, the grain size of the alloy is reduced from 60 μm to 4 μm, and the room temperature tensile strength is increased from 240 MPa to 464 MPa.
