Effect of the Cu Alloying on the Precipitation Behavior of Al-Mg-Si Alloys

2018-10-27
In the present study, the effect of varying amounts of copper (Cu) addition on the kinetics of the precipitation behavior of heat treatable 6000 series Al-Mg-Si alloys have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers microhardness measurements. Presence of Cu can greatly enhance the mechanical properties, particularly strength and hardness by refining the precipitate distribution and increasing the stability of GP zones. Alloys containing varying amounts of Cu (Cu content more than 2.5 wt%) were cast into copper mold using an induction casting system under Argon atmosphere, and their final chemical compositions were determined by optical emission spectroscopy. As-cast alloys were homogenized at 500°C for 30 min which included heating from room temperature at a rate of 20°C/min followed by quenching. Characterization studies were focused on the temperatures where phase changes occur as determined by the peaks appearing in DSC curves to better understand the precipitation behavior of nano-scale metastable precipitates at different temperatures

Effect of Sn as an alloying element on the diffusion-bonding behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloy has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical testing of the diffusion-bonded joint. XRD results revealed the formation of Mg2Sn and (Sn) phases during solidification following induction casting. DSC results showed local liquid (Sn) formation during the bonding process for Sn-containing alloys, where its amount was found to...

Effect of thermal neutron irradiation on the elastic constants of tourmaline
Özkan, H. (Informa UK Limited, 1987-2)
The effect of thermal neutron irradiation due to the B10(n, α)Li7 reaction on the elastic wave velocities and the elastic moduli of tourmaline crystals has been studied. Oriented tourmaline samples have been irradiated with thermal neutrons to 7.6 × 1018n/cm2 and the elastic wave velocities determined by ultrasonic measurements. The elastic wave velocities are not affected by thermal neutron irradiation below 8 × 10l7n/cm2, effects starting to appear at approximately 1 × l018n/cm2 with more important decrea...
EFFECT OF GAMMA-IRRADIATION AND SILVER DOPING ON YBCO SUPERCONDUCTOR
OZKAN, H; ALBISS, BA; HAMDAN, N; MENARD, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-12-01)
The effect of gamma-irradiation and silver doping on the properties of YBCO superconductors has been studied by electrical resistance measurements and x-ray diffraction techniques. The zero-resistance superconducting transition temperature of (YBCO)(1-x)Ag-x systematically increase by about 2 K with an increase of Ag content up to x = 0.04. Further increase in Ag content decreases the transition temperature. The normal-state resistance decreases up to a factor of 3.4 with an increase of Ag content. No signi...
