  • 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. COMPOSITION 2000 series: Al + 2 to 6% Cu + Fe, Mn, Zn and sometimes Zr 6000 series: Al + up to 1.2%Mg + 0.25% Zn + Si, Fe a nd Mn 7000 series: Al + 4 to 9 % Zn + 1 to 3% Mg + Si, Fe, Cu and occasionally Zr and Ag GENERAL PROPERTIES Density 2500 - 2900 kg/m^3 Price *1.

Marya Date of Examination: 23 October 2008 Abstract Abstract The objective of the present thesis is to make advancements in understanding solidification crack formation in aluminum welds, by investigating in particular the aluminum 6060/4043 system. 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. 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.

  • Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Annealed 6060 Aluminium Alloy Processed by ECAP Method

Karoń *, A. Kopyść, M. Adamiak, J. Konieczny Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, ul. 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.

  • Long-Term Pitting Corrosion of 6060 Aluminium Alloy Immersed in Natural Seawater
    LONG-TERM PITTING CORROSION OF 6060 ALUMINIUM ALLOY IMMERSED IN NATURAL SEAWATER M. X. Liang, I. A. Chaves, R. E. Melchers Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability, The University of Newcastle, NSW2308, Australia SUMMARY: Aluminium alloys are widely used in maritime industries because of their high strength to weight ratio, ease of fabrication and expected corrosion resistance. However, they are susceptible to localised corrosion under specific corrosive environment. Further, information on the long-term corrosion characteristics of aluminium alloys under natural seawater immersed condition is scarce. Hence, this study reports a field investigation on pitting corrosion data of 6060 aluminium alloy immersed for two years in natural seawater with average annual temperature of 20oC. An Optical Microscope was used to examine pit morphology and to measure pit depths. Cross-section microstructure and chemical composition of pits were investigated by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry. Five deepest pits were measured on each face of a sextuplicate set of coupons. The pit depth data was analysed using extreme value statistics. Results show that the depth of the deepest pits progressed in a ‘step-wise’ manner. Pitting severity and the maximum pit depth increased with the depth of immersion. The results support previous findings indicating changes in corrosion mechanism with time. Similar to the corrosion of steels, this is considered to result from the build-up of corrosion products. The reason for this is discussed and further work is outlined. Keywords: Aluminium alloys; pitting corrosion; seawater immersion; microstructure. 1. INTRODUCTION Aluminium alloys are widely used in various fields such as marine infrastructures and aerospace due to their high strength to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance (Perryman 2007, Srinivasa Rao 2004).

Nicolas Coniglio Thesis Committee: Prof. Dr.-Ing. A. Bertram Prof. Dr.-Ing. T. Böllinghaus Prof. C.E. Cross Prof. S. Marya Date of Examination: 23 October 2008 Abstract Abstract The objective of the present thesis is to make advancements in understanding solidification crack formation in aluminum welds, by investigating in particular the aluminum 6060/4043 system. 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.
