中文摘要：

采用OM,TEM,SEM/EBSD及硬度测试等手段,研究了微量Fe对冷轧Cu-30Zn-0.15Fe合金在573 K下等温退火过程中组织演化的影响.结果表明,Fe与合金中的杂质P形成hcp结构的Fe_2P第二相颗粒,其粒子尺寸为50-300 nm.冷轧Cu-Zn和Cu-Zn-Fe合金的硬度曲线在退火过程中均分为3个阶段,后者与前者相比第二阶段出现较晚.当硬度趋于稳定时,Cu-Zn-Fe合金的硬度比Cu-Zn合金提高约30 HV.Fe2P粒子阻碍晶界迁移和位错运动,使得Cu-Zn-Fe合金退火过程中的Σ3孪晶界的增加速度缓慢、质量分数减少,组织内位错密度、储能较大.Fe2P粒子延迟了Cu-Zn-Fe合金再结晶的发生并抑制再结晶晶粒长大,使其平均晶粒尺寸保持在1.3μm左右.合金的主要强化机制为第二相强化、细晶强化和位错强化.

英文摘要：

Cu-Zn alloys are one of the most commercially important metallic materials because of their excellent physical and mechanical properties, ease of fabrication and low cost. Ultrafine grained（UFG） metallic materials intrigue great interest due to their high strength, and most UFG materials are produced by severe plastic deformation（SPD）. However, utilizing SPD to produce UFG materials needs large strain. Moreover, most UFG alloys produced by SPD have limited thermal stability and ductility which restrict the application in practical production. In this work, a UFG Cu- 30Zn- 0.15 Fe alloy with good comprehensive properties and high thermal stability was prepared. Effect of minor Fe addition on the microstructure evolution of UFG Cu- Zn- Fe alloy subjected to cold rolling and subsequent isothermal annealing at 573 K was investigated through OM, TEM and SEM/EBSD observations. The results show that second phase particles are introduced into Cu-Zn-Fe alloy with trace P element by Fe addition. The second phase particles are identified as hcp structured Fe2 P phase with diameters ranging at 50~300 nm. The hardness-annealing time curves of Cu-30 Zn and Cu-30Zn-0.15 Fe alloys have three stages, corresponding respectively to recovery, recrystallization and recrystallized grains growth. It takes longer time for Cu-Zn-Fe alloy to get recrystallization started; after fully annealed, the hardness of Cu-Zn-Fe alloy is much higher, with 30 HV increment than that of Cu-Zn alloy. The UFG Cu-Zn-Fe alloy has highly stable average grain size of 1.3 μm during the process of annealing, which results from Fe2 P particles suppressing the growth of recrystallized grains. The Fe2 P particles retard grain boundary migration and dislocation movement, resulting in less mass fraction of Σ3 twin boundaries, lower increasing speed, higher dislocation density and local stored energy. The main strengthening mechanisms for present UFG Cu-Zn-Fe alloy are second phase strengthening, fine-grain strengthening and dislocation strengthening.
