Correlation between Alloying Elements and Aging Parameters and Hardness and Machinability of Aluminum-Silicon Alloys Using Minitab Software

Abstract:

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of alloying additions and aging parameters (time and temperature) on the hardness and machinability of Al-Si alloys. Hardness, drilling force and moment and number of holes drilled/tool measurements were carried out on specimens prepared from grain refined, Sr modified and heat treated Al-Si alloys. Aging treatments were carried out for the as solution treated (SHT) specimens (after quenching in warm water). The specimens were aged at different conditions; artificial aging was carried out at 180˚C, 200 ˚C and 220˚C for 2 and 5 h. Hardness, drilling force and moment and number of holes drilled/tool as a function of different metallurgical parameters (i.e. %Si content, %Mg content, heat treatment parameters (time and temperature), Cu-intermetallics surface fraction and Fe-intermetallic surface fractions) are analyzed to acquire an understanding of the effects of these variables and their interactions on the hardness and machinability of heat treated Al-Si alloys.
