Interdiffusion of Elements in Aluminum 2024 Clad during Reheat Treatment Process at 495°C

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum alloy 2024 is normally strengthened with alloying elements of Cu and Mg. As these elements reduce the corrosion resistance of the materials, a pure Al clad is normally applied. Nevertheless, during ageing at high temperatures, inter-diffusion between elements can occur and causing the recession of the clad. This study investigates the inter-diffusion behavior Al 2024 clad at ageing temperature of 495°C and predicts the clad lifetime due to reheat treatment process. The depletion rate of clad was found at 0.8 μm per-hour of heat treatment. It is predicted that the thickness of the Al 2024 clad will no longer meet with the specifications on heat treatment for 42 hours at 495°C.
