Abstract:

Abstract: Cold working performed before an aging treatment has a significant effect on size and amount of precipitate produced. This could be caused by the increase in defect density, such as vacancies and dislocations. In this research, the Al-Cu-Si alloy was solution-treated, wear-tested and then artificially aged for a period of 1–5 h. Changes in the amount of precipitate, in the lattice parameter of the matrix, and in the precipitates are measured by X-ray diffraction and then calculated.It was observed that performing a wear test before the aging treatment was done significantly increased the amount of precipitate, while wear rate decreased.

the influence of the neo-platonic concept of poetic imagination on wordsworth’s poetry

بر اساس نظریه افلاطون در باره شعر خلاقیت هنری مورد انتقاد قرار گرفته است. نظریه کلی در مورد شعر این بود که شعر از ظواهرتقلید میکند و نه حقیقت. چون سایه ای از حقیقت است. اما با پیدایش فلسفه نو افلاطونی، انتقاتات قبلی در مورد شعر و شاعری اصلاح شد. فلوطین در کتاب انئید، اساس خلق هنری را بر محور مُثل افلاطونی قرار داد. وی باور داشت که هنر مندان در خلق آثار هنری، تحت تاثیر مُثل افلاطونی بوده و عوالمی ...

EFFECTS OF Al-5TI-1B MASTER ALLOY AND HEAT TREATMENT ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND DRY SLIDING WEAR BEHAVIOR OF AN Al-12Zn-3Mg-2.5Cu ALLOY

In this study the effect of Al–5Ti–1B grain refiner on the structural characteristics and wear properties of Al–12Zn–3Mg–2.5Cu alloy was investigated. The optimum amount for Ti containing grain refiners was selected as 2 wt.%. T6 heat treatment, (i.e. heating at 460 °C for 1 h before water quenching to room temperature and then aging at 120 °C for 24 h) was applied for all specimens before wear...

Influence of Modifying Mixtures on Si Crystal Formation in Al-7%Si Alloy

Using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, we studied silicon particles formed during the solidification of Al-7%Si alloy when different modifying mixtures were introduced into the melt: (1) a mixture of ultrafine powders Na3AlF6 + K2ZrF6 + TiO2 + ZrO2; (2) K2ZrF6; and (3) the flux Arsal. By differential scanning calorimetry, it was established that modifying mixtures significantly in...

The Effect of Cu Additions on the Precipitation Kinetics in an Al-Mg-Si Alloy with Excess Si

The microstructural evolution during age hardening of a Cu-bearing Al-Mg-Si alloy has been investigated by the three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques, in order to clarify the effect of Cu on the initial age-hardening response. After 30 minutes of artificial aging at 175 8C, the alloy shows a significant increase in hardness. The TEM observation...
