先进耐热铝合金导体材料研究进展:全面性回顾

摘要: 近年来,铝基合金导体材料因其能在不牺牲电导率的同时实现卓越的强度和热稳定性而广受关注,相关研究已取得一定成果。为此,本文全面概述了该材料的研究进展,旨在提供宝贵的见解,为开发成本效益高、强度大、耐热的铝合金提供指导——它的应用范围不仅限于作为导体材料的铝合金,也适用于那些通过添加钪(Sc)和锆(Zr)进行微合金化强化的其他铝合金体系。本文重点总结与分析了微量合金元素(尤其是钪和锆)在促进形成具有 L12 晶体结构的相干纳米级沉淀物(如 Al3Zr、Al3Sc 和核壳结构的 Al3(Sc,Zr))方面所起的作用。研究表明,这些沉淀物通过沉淀强化和稳定晶界,显著提升了铝合金导体材料的高温性能。本文还探讨了其他稀土元素(如铒)在加速沉淀动力学和通过抑制粗化来提高热稳定性方面所起的新兴作用。此外,本文还研究了热加工策略的最新进展,重点关注可优化强度与电导率之间的平衡的方法。这些方法包括多步热处理和精准控制加工工序条件。其中,研究表明冷拉拔与时效处理的结合可以促进均匀且有效的沉淀。

 

Advanced thermal-resistant aluminum conductor alloys: A comprehensive review

Abstract: This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in aluminum-based conductor alloys engineered to achieve superior mechanical strength and thermal stability without sacrificing electrical conductivity. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of microalloying elements—particularly Sc and Zr—in promoting the formation of coherent nanoscale precipitates such as Al3Zr, Al3Sc, and core–shell Al3(Sc,Zr) with metastable L12 crystal structures. These precipitates contribute significantly to high-temperature performance by enabling precipitation strengthening and stabilizing grain boundaries. The review also explores the emerging role of other rare earth elements (REEs), such as erbium (Er), in accelerating precipitation kinetics and improving thermal stability by retarding coarsening. Additionally, recent advancements in thermomechanical processing strategies are examined, with a focus on scalable approaches to optimize the strength–conductivity balance. These approaches involve multi-step heat treatments and carefully controlled manufacturing sequences, particularly the combination of cold drawing and aging treatment to promote uniform and effective precipitation. This review offers valuable insights to guide the development of cost-effective, high-strength, heat-resistant aluminum alloys beyond conductor applications, particularly those strengthened through microalloying with Sc and Zr.
