ABSTRACT Gas tungsten-arcand gas metal-arc processes are used extensively in the fabrication of huge fuel and oxidizer tanks of the Saturn V spacecraft used in the Wpollolunar missions. The buildingof these tanks has raised problems related to welding of high-strength, heat-treated aluminum alloysand have revealed a need for basic research leading tothe development of new techniques;both of which will be of benefitto the general industry. This is the secondedition of the report of a study to integrate results obtainedin nineteen individual studies sponsoredby NASA onwelding aluminum. Subjects covered include: Effects of porosity on weld-joint performance Sourcesof porosity Weld thermal effects Residual stresses and distortion Manufacturingprocess system control. 7.

Artifacts, tools, and transportation vehicles are brought about by scientific and technologicalactivity. As inother escapades of curiosity, man derivesby-products of knowledge in technology that are beneficial in respect to peacefulcoexistence and biosocial well-being. The weldingtechniques and equipment that are used to producespace vehicles of high structural reliability can also beused to make better and more economicalproducts, necessary in our moremundane existence. During the fabrication of the Saturn V space vehicles used for theApollo lunar missions, an extensive research programon aluminum welding was conductedby the Welding DevelopmentBranch in the ManufacturingEngineering Laboratory ofthe G. C. MarshallSpace Flight Center, NASA. As a part of theprogram, a study was conducted at theMassachusetts Institute of Technologyunder Contract No. NAS 8-24364 to integrate NASA-sponsored studies onaluminum welding. Results discussed in these reports are associated with weldingfabrication of the Saturn V. However, theyshould beapplicable to thewelding of aluminum alloys used in futurespace vehicles and aerospace structures. Basic prin- ciples described here can be also applicable to structures in non-spaceindustries. Although this report is concernedwith the welding of aluminum structures, it is important to understand that this is onlyone phase of the fabrication of a complex structure such as the Saturn V space vehicle, and must eventually be related to a much greaterwhole. The Saturn V requires a very complexsystem of design and fabrication composed of many phases.These phases include design, material selection, stress analysis,cutting, machining, forming, joining, and inspection.Each phase is closelyrelated to anddependent upon theothers. For example, the material selectionmust be made not only on the basis of mechanical properties but also withregard to forming and joining the material. The designmust be made so that a structure with sufficient re- liability can be fabricated with a tolerable dimensional accuracy.There are also many factorswithin each phase of designand fabrication. For example, the quality of a weld depends upon such factors as the cleanliness of the metal surface, purity of theshielding gas, and the welding condi- tions. To improvethe structural reliability of a space vehicle, we must know more about each phase, the relation- ship of factors within it, the relationship of anyone phase toother phases, and ultimately, the importance of eachphase tothe final product.

EN AC-46000 alloy was used as a base alloy. The paper presents the effect of Cr, Mo, V and W on the crystallization process and the microstructure of HPDC aluminum alloy as well as an alloy from the shell mold. Thermal and derivative analysis was used to study the crystallization process. The possibility of increasing the mechanical properties of HPDC hypoeutectic alloy by addition of high-melting point elements has been demonstrated.

    COMPLEX & INCREMENTAL STRESS CREEP OF A HIGH STRENGTH ALUMINIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES (ALLOY: HIDUMINIUM RR58 SPECIFICATION DTD 731) by SURINDAR BAHADUR MATHUR Thesis presented in the Department of Mechanical Engineering for the Award of the Doctor of Philosphy in Mechanical Engineering of the University of London. Mechanical Engineering Department Imperial College of Science and Technology mAec.19 70 (University of London) London. ABSTRACT A theory for creep rates under complex and incremental stresses is deduced from experimental data concerning complex creep at elevated temperatures for the test material HIDUMINIUM RR 58 - Specification DID 731. The most important results are for tubular specimens tested at 150°C and 250°C under incremental loads. The analysis of results relates to steady state creep only. Modified relationships in stress equivalence and strain equivalence are proposed to account for thermal softening, polygonization, recrystallization and the resulting exaggerated flow in the direction of the applied shear. (The original equations are based on the hypothesis of Von Mises). A further relationship is suggested between the immediate total energy of distortion and the subsequent creep work rate. Results of the static tests and the results of the tests for creep behaviour under complex loading are presented and compared with the results of static torsion and simple incremental torsion creep tests on the basis of the proposed equations. An appendix describes the complex creep testing machine, furnace, extensometers

  • 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.
