6082 Aluminum Alloy

Three different aging treatments including single-aging, delayed-aging, and pre-aging were carried out on 6082 extruded profiles after solution heat treatment, then their hardness, tensile strength, and microstructure were tested. The experimental results reveal that the properties and microstructure changes during single-aging. Based on this, the negative effects of room temperature delay and the results of short-term pre-aging treatments used in the experiment to improve this phenomenon have been concluded.

Aluminum alloy sheets were asymmetrically rolled at room and cryogenic temperatures by imposing different velocity ratios of 1~1.5 between the upper and bottom rolls. After rolling, the stress-strain curves, microhardness as well as the microstructures of the rolled samples were characterized and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the asymmetric cryorolling could improve the grain refinement and offered (~12%) higher room temperature tensile strength than that processed by symmetrical rolling with velocity ration of 1.0 (~280 MPa). However, at cryogenic temperature, the strength of asymmetrically cryorolling sheet (with velocity ratio of 1.5) was 5.1%, which is less than that processed by symmetrical rolling.

Casting Alloy

A high strength Al-Cu-Mg alloy was prepared by squeeze casting. The effects of squeeze casting and heat treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied. It was found that squeeze casting refined the microstructure and reduced the micro-segregation markedly, and also accelerated the diffusion process of solute atoms during solution heat treatment. Tensile strength and elongation of squeeze casting alloy were much higher than those of gravity casting alloy under both the as-cast and heat-treated conditions. In addition, the Al-Cu-Mg alloy prepared by squeeze casting showed good natural aging response, and the naturally-aged alloy possessed a slightly lower tensile strength but better elongation compared to full artificial aging. After solution heat treatment at 495 for 9h and further natural aging for 48h or artificial aging at 190 for 6h, the tensile strength of squeeze casting alloy reached to 472MPa and 475MPa, respectively, and the elongation was 18.9% and 12.7% accordingly. Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of microstructural evolution of squeeze casting Al-Cu-Mg alloy during heat treatment was discussed, and the effect of squeeze casting on the kinetics of solute diffusion and aging precipitation was studied.

This work investigates the influence of artificial aging and solution heat treatment on the hardness and tensile strength (mechanical properties) of Al 6061-T6 alloy. For this investigation, several aluminum 6061-T6 alloy specimens were prepared following the ASTM 176000 recommendations. The prepared specimens were heated for 1 hour at 500ºC before being water-quenched. The procedure for artificial aging was performed for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours at 190ºC before being slowly cooled in air. Several mechanical and characterization studies were performed on the treated specimens, including an investigation on their microstructure, tensile strength, hardness, and X-ray diffraction pattern. From the results, the strength and hardness properties of the specimens were found to be generally improved, even as the best features were obtained after 2 hours of artificial aging.

Mg-35Zn-3Ca (wt.%) alloy containing nontoxic and biocompatible Zn and Ca as alloying elements was prepared and subjected to heat treatment and artificial aging for different duration of time to reduce its rate of degradation. Solution heat treatment was performed at 310°C while artificial aging was performed at 170°C for 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 h and they were designated as AT0, AT1, AT2, AT3, and AT4, respectively. The finest and most homogenous reticulum was observed on the surface of the AT2 group. The result of immersion test in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) showed that the corrosion rate of the AT2 group was 2.32 mg/(cm2day), which was significantly lower as compared to other groupsP<0.05. The hemolysis value was ≤5% in all groups, indicating no toxicity during short-term blood reaction.

Experimental Parameters

This study aims to understand the influence of heat treatment on behavior of AA6061 aluminum alloy at room temperature for various heat treatment. Two experimental parameters for this alloy are defined: micro hardness and the electrical resistivity, as a function of heat treatment at ambient temperature. The results show that the heat treatment conditions have an effective influence in mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. This variation of the mechanical properties is the result of microstructural changes which have been observed using optical microscopy. When the material is subjected to a solution heat treatment followed by quenching and artificial aging, its mechanical properties, especially micro hardness and electrical resistivity, reach their highest levels and become very good compared to the other heat treatment applied to the same alloy.

This work examines the effect of solution heat treatment temperature on the tensile strength of Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. All samples were machined according to the ASTM B557. The samples were solution treated at 450°C and 530°C and followed by ageing at 160°C for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 hours. Tensile test was carried out on the samples after heat treatment. The results showed that the highest tensile strengths (201.69 MPa) was given by the sample solution heat treated at 530 °C for 5 hours followed by 20 hours aging at 160 °C. Whereas, the lowest tensile strength (98.52MPa) was given by the sample solution treated at 450°C for 20 hours. Tensile strength was increased with ageing process and decreased for over-aged samples.

Initial Heat Treatment

In the present study, the influence of the initial heat-treatment conditions on the artificial aging behavior after conventional linear extrusion at room temperature was investigated for the precipitation hardening of a 6056 aluminum alloy. A solution-annealed condition was systematically compared to naturally-aged and pre-aged conditions. Differential scanning calorimetry was used for analyzing the precipitation sequence and its dependence on the initial heat treatment. The natural aging behavior prior to extrusion and the artificial aging behavior after extrusion were determined by microhardness measurements as a function of the aging time. Furthermore, the microstructure, dependent on the induced strain, was investigated using optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. As a result of pre-aging, following a solid-solution treatment, the formation of stable room-temperature clusters was suppressed and natural aging was inhibited. The artificial aging response after extrusion was significantly enhanced by pre-aging, and the achieved hardness and strength were significantly higher when compared with the equally processed solution-annealed or naturally-aged conditions.

The tendency of the aluminum alloy D16 system Al-Cu-Mg to natural (NA) and artificial aging (AA) after hardening and high pressure torsion (HPT) under a pressure of 6 GPa at room temperature was studied using optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy, electrical conductivity tests. The dependences of microhardness and electrical conductivity were constructed depending on the exposure time. It is shown that heat treatment (HT) (hardening + HPT + NA) leads to an increase of hardening of the alloy D16 compared to standard HT (T4) in 2,3 times, at preservation of level of conductivity.

The effect of aging on the precipitates, mechanical and magnetic properties of Fe-21Cr-15Ni-6Mn-Nb low magnetic stainless steel were investigated. The steel was aged at 550–750 °C for 2 h after solution heat treatment at 1100 °C for 1 h. During the aging treatment, the (Nb, V)(C, N) particles gradually precipitated in the grain, which were coherent or semi-coherent with the matrix. When the aging temperature was beyond 650 °C, the coarsening rate of (Nb, V)(C, N) particles increase rapidly and the coherent orientation between (Nb, V)(C, N) particles and the matrix was lost gradually. Meanwhile, coarse M23C6 was distributed at the grain boundary with chain shape, which was non-coherent with the matrix. The coarsening behavior of (Nb, V)(C, N) precipitates in the grain was analyzed, and the size of the particles precipitated after aging treatment at 650°C for different time was calculated and studied. After aging treatment at 650 °C for 2 h, the yield strength and tensile strength of the stainless steel was 705.6 MPa and 1002.3 MPa, the elongation and the relative magnetic permeability was 37.8% and 1.0035, respectively.
