Popis: In this study, the tensile mechanical properties of a 2A14 aluminum alloy produced by extrusion were tested at room temperature to investigate the tensile fracture behavior. The results showed that the tensile fracture of the alloy was mixed intergranular and transgranular ductile fracture, as numerous coarse second-phase particles were distributed in a band along the loading direction, making it prone to microcracking. This was determined to be the main cause of fracture failure of the alloy. In addition, we observed large α-AlFeMnSi(Cu), Al(Fe,Mn)Cu, AlCuMgSi, and Al2Cu phases in the microstructure of the 2A14 aluminum alloy, and both Al2Cu second phase and precipitation-free phase zone (PFZ) at the grain boundaries were observed, which made the alloy susceptible to fracture failure and reduced the mechanical properties of the alloy.
