The precipitation behavior and its influence on the electrical resistivity of the Al-0.96Mg2Si alloy during aging were investigated with in-situ resistivity measurement and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The precipitates of the peak aged alloy include both β＂ and if, but the amount ratio of β＂ to β＂ varies with the aging temperature and time increasing. The precipitates during aging at 175 ℃ are dominated by needle-like β＂ phases （including pre-β＂ phase）, the size of which increases with the time prolonging, but does not increase substantially after further aging. The evolution of electrical conductivity is directly related to such microstructural evolution. However, the hardness of the alloy stays at the peak value for a long term. When the alloy is aged at 195 ℃, the ratio of β＂ to β＇ becomes the main factor to influence relative resistivity （Ap） value. The higher the temperature is, the smaller the ratio is, and the faster the Ap value decreases. Moreover, the hardness peak drops with the decrease of the ratio. With the size and distribution parameters measured from TEM images, a semi-quantitative relationship between precipitates and the electrical resistivity was established.
采用硬度测试、原位电阻测试及 TEM等手段,研究了6101铝合金在175～195℃下时效析出相对相对电阻率（Δρ%）的影响,利用修正的马蒂森定则计算了175℃时不同时效时间析出相对相对电阻率的影响,得到了影响合金力学性能和导电率的温度时间判断依据。结果表明,随着温度的升高,时效初期团簇形成的时间越短,相对电阻率越低,硬度峰值也越低；175℃时效后期,析出相的密度增加,相间距减小,析出相对相对电阻率的影响基本稳定,导电率基本稳定。借助研究结果,确定了以力学性能优先和导电率优先的时效制度175℃/680 min 和195℃/220 min,性能测试显示选取依据合理。
