Aluminium base alloy (Al-Cu-Si) was reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles, in various percentage compositions from 0-20 wt%. Silicon carbide particle size of 20µm was selected. The molten slurry of SiC reinforced base aluminium metal was casted through green and dry sand casting methods and solidification process was carried out under ambient conditions. A selected population...

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA The ratio of compression yield strength to the initial tensile yield strength is called Bauschinger effect factor, BEF. A nonlinear strain hardening mathematical model is proposed for 7075 aluminium alloy (A7075). Uniaxial tension-compression experimental data are used to figure out a suitable model to study the BEF. Hence, uniaxial tension-co...

The purpose of this research is to achieve the optimal parameters for producing forged aluminium alloy 7075 aircraft door bracket by using finite element modelling (FEM) with commercial DEFORM-3D V6.1 and physical simulations with plasticine and Plexiglas dies. Also, forging speed has been examined as the main factor for controlling to produce a part without any defects. The results of Physical...

About 50% of metals used in Aerospace industries are Aluminium and Titanium alloys, Alloys such as Ti6Al4V, AL-7175, and AL7075 are used extensively in space vehicles, aviation, and automotive industries for having enhanced mechanical properties like High strength to weight ratio, low Thermal Expansion and better Corrosion resistance. Comparison of properties Aluminium and Titanium alloys shows...

Three different heat treatments of aluminum alloy AA5052 were subjected to various levels of uniaxial plastic strain. The resulting surfaces were then evaluated using both scanning laser confocal microscopy (SLCM) and stylus profilometry. Three regression approaches were used to assess the quality of a linear and a curvilinear fit for the roughness data as a function of true plastic strain. Whi...

6063 aluminium alloy is widely used in architectural applications such as window and door frames because of its nice appearance acceptable strength. Its major alloying elements are magnesium silicon. Not many studies focused on the influence plastic deformation content post-processing quality corrosion resistance have been published. Considering that variation chemical composition could propert...

A base aluminium-silicon alloy AlSi25Cu5Cr was used to investigate the possibility of alloying aluminium alloys with hard-to-melt elements. The elements Co, Cr and Mo were introduced into melt using metal powder from a hard-melting dental cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. packed in foil studied at temperature 810º C. After mechanical stirring melt, it stood for 30 min. temperature, raised 850º ...
