Investigation of Mg and Zr Addition on the Mechanical Properties of Commercially Pure Al Samiul Kaiser, M
World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Vol:13, No:9, 2019 Investigation of Mg and Zr Addition on the Mechanical Properties of Commercially Pure Al Samiul Kaiser, M. S. Kaiser stable against particle coarsening. It causes additional Abstract—The influence of Mg and Zr addition on mechanical distribution of dislocations which pin grain boundaries and properties such as hardness, tensile strength and impact energy of inhibit recrystallization. The Al3Zr particles form from the commercially pure Al are investigated. The microstructure and melt as a primary phase during rapid solidification, act as fracture behavior are also studied by using Optical and Scanning nuclei for the solidification of Al, and Zr can thus operate as Electron Microscopy. It is observed that magnesium addition improves the mechanical properties of commercially pure Al at the grain refiner of Al [13]-[15]. Based on the above point of view, Mg is added to expense of ductility due to formation of β″ (Al3Mg) and β′ (Al3Mg2) phase into the alloy. Zr addition also plays a positive role through commercially pure Al used in this study to form the binary grain refinement effect and the formation of metastable alloy. The other element Zr is subsequently added with Mg to L12 Al3Zr precipitates. In addition, it is observed that the fractured study their mutual effect on the mechanical properties of cast surface of Mg added alloy is brittle and higher numbers of dimples Al at room temperatures. are observed in case of Zr added alloy.

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 -
The Effect of Cooling Rate on the Microstructure of A356 Aluminium Alloy
SVOA MATERIALS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (ISSN: 2634-5331) Research https://sciencevolks.com/materials-science/ Volume 2 Issue 4 The Effect of Cooling Rate on the Microstructure of A356 Aluminium Alloy Maftah H. Alkathafi1*, Abdalfattah A. Khalil2, Ayad O. Abdalla3 Affiliations: 1Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Sirte University, Libya 2Materials Science Department, Faculty of Engineering, Omer Al-Mukhtar University, Libya. 3College of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Benghazi-Libya. *Corresponding author: Maftah H. Alkathafi* Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Sirte University, Libya Received: December 10, 2020 Published: December 31, 2020 Abstract: In this study a fast-cooling technology is employed for a cast iron mould to prepare cast A356 aluminium alloy by solidifica- tion of the molten metal. The cooling rate is achieved by pouring the molten alloy into a preheating permanent mould at different temperatures (25, 100, 200, 300 and 4000C) for cast samples with 40 mm inside diameter and 200 mm height. The samples considered are analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and EDS X-ray analysis (EDS). The effects of cooling rate on the morphology of α – aluminum and eutectic silicon of A356 alloy have been studied. The results showed that the dendritic structure of α-phase was broken and converted into a somewhat globular grain structure and the coarse acicular eutectic silicon trend to be broken and converted into short sticks or small rounded in other cases. Keywords: A356 Aluminum alloy, Grain refinement, Cooling rate, SEM, EDS, Microstructure. 1. Introduction Aluminium alloys have attractive physical and mechanical properties. They are lightweight, low costs production, easy to machine and have good recycling possibilities up to 95 % [1]. -
X-Ray Diffraction Studies of 145 Mev Proton-Irradiated Albemet 162
X-Ray Diffraction Studies of 145 MeV proton-irradiated AlBeMet 162 Mohamed Elbakhshwan1, Kirk T. McDonald2, Sanjit Ghose3, Zhong Zhong3, Nikolaos Simos1,3* 1Nuclear Science and Technology Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 2Joseph Henry Laboratories, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 3National Synchrotron Light Source II, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 Abstract AlBeMet 162 (Materion Co., formerly Brush Wellman) has been irradiated with 145 MeV protons up to 1.2x1020 cm-2 fluence, with irradiation temperatures in the range of 100-220oC. Macroscopic post- irradiation evaluation on the evolution of mechanical and thermal properties was integrated with a comprehensive x-ray- diffraction study using high-energy monochromatic and polychromatic x-ray beams, which offered a microscopic view of the irradiation damage effects on AlBeMet. The study confirmed the stability of the metal-matrix composite, its resistance to proton damage, and the continuing separation of the two distinct phases, fcc aluminum and hcp beryllium, following irradiation. Furthermore, based on the absence of inter-planar distance change during proton irradiation, it was confirmed that the stacking faults and clusters on the Al (111) planes are stable, and thus can migrate from the cascade region and be absorbed at various sinks. XRD analysis of the unirradiated AlBeMet 162 showed clear change in the texture of the fcc phase with orientation especially in the Al (111) reflection which exhibits a “non-perfect” six-fold symmetry, implying lack of isotropy in the composite. * Corresponding author Tel.: +1 631 344 7229 E-mail address: [email protected] 1. Introduction AlBeMet, an aluminum-beryllium compound with high Be content, is better described as a metal-matrix composite rather than an alloy, since the two metals remain as separate phases. -

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. -
