Effect of Nickel Addition on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum-Based Alloys

Abstract:

In this work a comparative study between microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum-nickel alloys with different contents of nickel was carried out. Alloys were produced by powders metallurgy. Characterization results indicates that the microstructure of the aluminum-nickel alloys present a thin and homogeneous distribution of an intermetallic compound in the aluminum’s matrix, identified as Al₃Ni. Furthermore, it was find out that the amount of intermetallic Al₃Ni increase as the nickel content in the alloy rises. Regarding the mechanical properties evaluated; it was establishes that the hardness, compression and flexion resistances also were improved due to the presence of the intermetallic compound.
