    Aluminium Level 2 2019 CES Edupack

    Level 2 Age-hardening wrought Al-alloys The 2000 and 7000 series age -hardening aluminum alloys are the backbone of the aerospace industry. The 6000 series has lower strength but is more easily extruded: it is used for marine and ground transport systems. THE MATERIAL The high -strength aluminum alloys rely on age -hardening: a sequence of heat treatment steps that causes the precipitation of a nano-scale dispersion of intermetallics that impede dislocation motion and impart strength. This can be as high as 700 MPa giving them a strength-to-weight ratio exceeding even that of the strongest steels. This record describes for the series of wrought Al alloys that rely on age-hardening requiring a solution heat treatment followed by quenching and ageing. This is recorded by adding TX to the series number, where X is a number between 0 and 8 that records the state of heat treatment. They are listed below using the IADS designations (see Technical notes for details).2000 series: Al with 2 to 6% Cu -- the oldest and most widely used aerospace series.6000 series: Al with up to 1.2% Mg and 1.3% Si -- medium strength extrusions and forgings.7000 series: Al with up to 8% Zn and 3% Mg -- the Hercules of aluminum alloys, used for high strength aircraft structures, forgings and sheet. Certain special alloys also contain silver. So this record, like that for the non-age hardening alloys, is broad, encompassing all of these.

    Ferrous Friction Stir Weld Physical Simulation A

    FERROUS FRICTION STIR WELD PHYSICAL SIMULATION A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Seth Jason Norton, M.S. ******** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John Lippold, Adviser Dr. David Dickinson Adviser Dr. Charles Albright Welding Engineering Graduate Program ii ABSTRACT Traditional fusion welding processes have several drawbacks associated with the melting and solidification of metal. Weld defects associated with the solidification of molten metal may act as initiation sites for cracks. Segregation of alloying elements during solidification may cause local changes in resistance to corrosion. The high amount of heat required to produce the molten metal in the weld can produce distortion from the intended position on cooling. The heat from the electric arc commonly used to melt metal in fusion welds may also produce metal fumes which are a potential health hazard. Friction stir welding is one application which has the potential to make full thickness welds in a single pass, while eliminating fume, reducing distortion, and eliminating solidification defects. Currently the friction stir welding process is used in the aerospace industry on aluminum alloys. Interest in the process by industries which rely on iron and its alloys for structural material is increasing. While friction stir welding has been shown to be feasible with iron alloys, the understanding of friction stir welding process effects on these materials is in its infancy. This project was aimed to better that understanding by developing a procedure for physical simulation of friction stir welding.

  • Aluminium Alloys Chemical Composition Pdf

    Aluminium Alloys Chemical Composition Pdf

    Aluminium alloys chemical composition pdf Continue Alloy in which aluminum is the predominant lye frame of aluminum welded aluminium alloy, manufactured in 1990. Aluminum alloys (or aluminium alloys; see spelling differences) are alloys in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. Typical alloy elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. There are two main classifications, namely casting alloys and forged alloys, both further subdivided into heat-treatable and heat-free categories. Approximately 85% of aluminium is used for forged products, e.g. laminated plates, foils and extrusions. Aluminum cast alloys produce cost-effective products due to their low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strength than forged alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where high silicon levels (4.0–13%) contributes to giving good casting features. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where a low weight or corrosion resistance is required. [1] Alloys composed mostly of aluminium have been very important in aerospace production since the introduction of metal leather aircraft. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are both lighter than other aluminium alloys and much less flammable than other alloys containing a very high percentage of magnesium. [2] Aluminum alloy surfaces will develop a white layer, protective of aluminum oxide, if not protected by proper anodization and/or dyeing procedures. In a wet environment, galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminum alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with a more positive corrosion potential than aluminum, and an electrolyte is present that allows the exchange of ions.

Alloy 6060 is typical of a family of Al-Mg-Si extrusion alloys, which are considered weldable only when using an appropriate filler alloy such as 4043 (Al-5Si). The effect of 4043 filler dilution (i.e. weld metal silicon content) on cracking sensitivity and solidification path of Alloy 6060 welds are investigated.

  • Conversion Coatings for Aluminium Alloys: a Surface Investigation for Corrosion Mechanisms

    Conversion Coatings for Aluminium Alloys: a Surface Investigation for Corrosion Mechanisms

    Conversion coatings for aluminium alloys: a surface investigation for corrosion mechanisms. by Rossana Grilli Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2010 The Surface Analysis Laboratory Surrey Materials Institute and Faculty of Engineering & Physical Sciences University of Surrey Guildford Surrey GU2 7XH UK Abstract Abstract Cr(VI) based conversion coatings are currently the treatments of choice for aluminium alloys to prevent corrosion, and are widely used in the aerospace industry also because of their good electrical conductivity and because they are good primers for paints and adhesives. Hexavalent chromium though is harmful for humans and for the environment, thus it needs to be replaced with more environmentally friendly materials. In this work three alternative pre-treatments for aluminium alloys were proposed and their properties were investigated and compared with the performance of a Cr(VI) based treatment. The selected “green” alternatives are based on titanium and zirconium compounds and they were applied to three different aluminium alloys relevant for spacecraft applications: Al2219, Al7075 and Al5083. After the characterization of the chosen materials by means of SEM, AES, XPS, EDX and SAM, some of their surface properties were explored: the adsorption of an epoxy acrylate resin used for UV-cured coatings, and the stability under UV and thermal exposure. The outcome of this preliminary investigation provided the basis for a further selection of materials to use in a corrosion study, and Al2219 was chosen as a substrate, together with an hybrid (organic/inorganic) coating, Nabutan STI/310. Alodine 1200S was proposed as chromate treatment and used as reference. A comparison of the behaviour during the exposure to a corrosive environment, as a NaCl solution, was made between the untreated Al2219 alloy, and the alloy treated with Nabutan STI/310 and Alodine 1200S.

Konarskiego 18a, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland * Corresponding e-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Purpose: The main goal of this paper is to present the investigation results of microstructural evolution and mechanical properties changes in commercial EN AW 6060) aluminium alloy after intensive plastic deformation, obtained by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) techniques in an annealed state. Design/methodology/approach: Annealing heat treatment was used to remove various types of internal stress in a commercially available alloy in order to increase workability of the material. The evolution of its properties and material behaviour was evaluated after 2,4,6,and 8 passes of the ECAP process. Findings: It was found that the mechanical properties and microstructure during intensive plastic deformation, such as that during the ECAP process, were changed. Plastic deformation refined grains in the aluminium alloy and increased its mechanical properties. Research limitations/implications: The presented study shows results of the investigated material in an annealed state. Practical implications: The applied processing route allows development of materials characterized by high strength and ultrafine grain microstructure compared to un-deformed annealed aluminium alloy. Originality/value: The work presents data about the influence of intensive plastic deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6060 aluminium alloy after annealing.
