摘要
During homogenisation of direct chill cast ingots of Al alloys for beverage-can bodies, the degree of transformation of Al-6(FeMn) phase to alpha-Al-(Fe,Mn)-Si phase is important for subsequent processing. The morphology of the transformation and the associated local composition changes are Studied using a range of electron microscope techniques. including energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy, convergent-beam electron diffraction and field-emission-gun scanning electron microscopy. Nucleation of the alpha-phase controls the rate of the transformation, which proceeds by eutectoid decomposition of the Al-6(Fe,Mn) phase into alpha-phase and aluminium solid solution. The transformation requires intake of silicon from the surrounding matrix; intake of manganese is not required but does occur on continued annealing. A basic description is given of the transformation kinetics. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd on behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.
