Structural Aspects Revealed by X-Ray Diffraction for Aluminum Alloys 2024 Type

Abstract:

This paper presents experimental results revealed on the samples type 2024 aluminum alloy used in aeronautics. Adequate characterization of 2024 aluminum alloys with special destination (aviation) was achieved by combined investigations:(i) wet chemical analysis, (ii) spectrochemical analysis, (iii) X-ray diffraction and (iv) electron microscopy. The main conclusion that emerges from the investigations carried out on aluminum samples revealed that: (a) alloys fits in terms of composition with the standard specification for 2024, in all cases; (b) microstructure vary in fineness of grain, but meets the requirements of aviation rules; the investigated microstructures have been appreciated as adequate of aluminum alloys type "2024".
