Studies Concerning the Hardening Capacity of Aluminium Alloys through Heat Treatment in Electromagnetic Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is well known that the aluminum alloys containing Cu and/or Mg lead to soluble compounds which themselves allow the hardening during the process of strengthening and ageing. At the same time, the hardening process during ageing takes a relatively long period of time, and the registered rises are generally not too high. There are presented studies regarding to alloy AlCu4Mg1,5Mn which was tested in several heat treatment conditions. These alloy, after final heat treatment of hardness by and ageing, suffers a sensitive hardening – the ageing is recommended for pieces used under medium and intense mechanical stresses Using the alternative electromagnetic fields is more efficient by 10 to 12% than stationary one, not only regarding to the period of ageing, but also regarding to the highest values of hardness; Also other specific results are given in the paper.
