CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF Al-Li-Cu-Mg ALLOY 8090-T651

FRACTIONAL RECRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS IN DIRECTLY COLD ROLLED Al-Mg, Al-Mg-Sc AND Al-Mg-Sc-Zr ALLOY

The evaluation of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for directly cold rolled Al-6Mg, Al-6Mg-0.4Sc and Al-6Mg-0.4Sc-0.2Zr alloys. Samples were annealed isothermally at 400 °C for 1 to 240 minutes to allow recrystallization. Recrystallization kinetics of the alloys is analyzed from the micro-hardness variation. Isothermally annealed samples of aluminum alloys were ...

CASTABILITY OF Al-Li-Mg AND Al-Li-Cu-Mg ALLOYS

The objective of the present work is to study the casting characteristics of various A1-Li alloys, which include fluidity and strengths of the alloys and their interaction with cast molds. Materials investigated are Al-Li-Mg and Al-Li-Cu-Mg alloys with Li content of 2.5 wt%. The results show that sand molds with resin binders are good for A1-Li casting. Ceramic coatings can further reduce the m...

Thermal stability and superplastic behaviour of an Al-Mg-Sc alloy processed by ECAP and HPT at different temperatures

An Al-3%Mg-0.2%Sc alloy was processed by ECAP and HPT at different temperatures. Afterwards, samples subjected to 10 turns of HPT at 300 and 450 K, 8 passes of ECAP at 300 K and 10 passes of ECAP at 600 K were annealed for 1 hour at 523 K and their mechanical properties and microstructure were examined using microhardness measurements and EBSD analysis. In addition, tensile specimens with simil...

Achieving microstructures prone to superplastic deformation in an Al - Zn - Mg - Cu alloy by equal channel angular pressing

An Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy without Sc or Zr additions was subjected to overaging and processing by equal channel angular pressing, obtaining a grain size of ∼160 nm and a fraction of high-angle boundaries of 56%. The high elongations attained at high strain rate (10-10 s) and low test temperature (250-300 oC) are attributed to the formation of new recrystallized grains, ∼500 nm in size, during heatin...
