Influence of Alloying Elements in ZnAl5 Based Alloys on Melting Temperature, Tensile Strength and Vickers Hardness

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of work consist in the investigation of the influence of alloying elements in ZnAl5 alloy on thermal and mechanical properties. The ZnAl5Cu (1-3), ZnAl5Mg (1-3), ZnAl5Ag (1-5) and ZnAl5In1(Ga1) solder alloys were used experiments. Solders were assessed by DSC analysis and by measuring tensile strength and Vickers hardness. It was found out that by adding of alloying elements, the melting temperature is decreasing. The opposite was observed in the case of ZnAl5Mg (1-3) alloys. By adding of In or Ga to ZnAl5, tensile strength and Vickers hardness are decreasing. Addition of Ag (1-5) resulted in increasing of tensile strength and Vickers hardness. In case of ZnAl5Cu (1-3) and ZnAl5Mg (1-3) solder, decreasing of tensile strength and increasing of Vickers hardness was observed.
