The presence of alloying elements, sometimes in a very small amount, affects mechanical properties one of these elements is Boron. In Aluminum industries, Boron master alloy is widely used as a grain refiner In this research, the production process of Aluminum –Boron master alloy was studied at first then, it was concurrently added to 2024 Aluminum alloy. After rolling and homogenizing the resu...

in this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation of 2024-t3 aluminum alloy was investigated. the electrolyte used in this investigation was an alkaline solution containing additives of silicate, phosphate, potassium hydroxide and glycerin. a conventional dc power source with a low applied voltage was employed. corrosion resistance of the oxide layer was investigated by means of tafel plots and elec...

In this study, Aluminium2024- Graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (SAMD) technique which resulted in production of Al/Gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of Al/Gr composites. In this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...

The basic weldability of the alloy Al-2.2Li-2.7Cu was investigated and compared with two common aluminum alloys: 2024 and 5083. The basic weldability was characterized by the susceptibility of the alloy to hot tearing as determined by the trans-Varestraint test. The hot tearing susceptibility was characterized through plots of total crack length and maximum crack length versus augmented strain....
