Abstract:

Tensile fractures of 5B70 aluminum alloy at different strain rates were investigated. The results show that as the strain rate increases, the elongation of the alloy decreases. Fracture analysis shows that the lower the strain rate, the greater are the number of dimples in the fracture and the deeper depth, showing obvious high ductile fracture. With the increase of strain rate, the quasi-cleavage plane appears, the alloy is biased towards brittle fracture. Secondary cracks also occur at lower strain rates. As the strain rate increases, the grain elongation on the side of the alloy fracture decreases, and a fine precipitate phase appears.
