In numerous metals and alloys, ductile fracture involves void nucleation, growth, and coalescence. In this contribution, void growth has been quantitatively characterized in an extruded 6061-wrought Al-alloy as a function of stress state in notch tensile test specimens. Digital image analysis and Stereology have been used to estimate the volume fraction and three-dimensional number density of v...

We report quasi-static compression and impact behavior of aluminum syntactic foams (ASF) produced by melt infiltration. Aluminum syntactic foams with relative density of 0.46 were produced using hollow alumina spheres (4.45 mm and 3.05 mm) randomly situated in a mold and two types of aluminum alloy (1100 and 6061). The impact behavior was investigated using an instrumented drop tower. We invest...

The effect of heat treatment at 520oC on Si and Mg in 6061/5% volume Ni3Alp composite was investigated. Si atoms diffused through the Al3Ni reaction product to form a Sicontaining Al3Ni2 phase with variable amounts of Si, whereas Mg accumulated at matrixAl3Ni interphases. As a consequence, the 6061 alloy lost its age harden ability.

the full annealing aa6061 aluminum alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformationvia the combination of equal channel angular pressing (ecap) and cold rolling (cr) in order torefine its microstructure and to improve its mechanical properties. according to the results of hotand cold tensile tests, the combination of ecap and cr significantly affected the final strengthand ductility of studied...

Quality and productivity are two important aspects for manufacturing industries. Modeling and optimization is the best technique applied to find the best manufacturing conditions. This technique has been applied to investigate the optimized design of the cutting process in end milling for Al 6061 alloy in order to provide better surface finish as well as high Material Removal Rate (MRR). The cu...

It has been proposed that with the appropriate models, instrumented indentation test (IIT) data can be reduced to yield the uniaxial stress–strain behavior of the test material. However, very little work has been done to directly compare the results from uniaxial tension and spherical indentation experiments. In this work, indentation and uniaxial tension experiments have been performed on the ...

In this study, thermal stress analysis on discs consisting of two different materials was analyzed analytically. Disc were selected SiC/6061 Al Alloy composite and Al-7075 respectively. Assuming that the elasticity module does not change with temperature, performed under constant temperature distributions in area from inner surface disc to outer surface. Thermal distribution. A computer program...
