Effect of Technologies Processing on Material Properties of Selected Aluminium Alloys

Abstract:

The paper is concerned with an analysis of utility properties of selected aluminium alloys, namely EN AW 6082 (AlSi1MgMn), EN AW 6061 (AlMg1SiCu) and EN AW 7075 (AlZn5.5MgCu) with different technology of hot processing. The alloys were hot processed to reach T3 condition (solution annealing, cold forming and natural aging) and to reach T4 condition (solution annealing and natural aging). The following parameters were subject to evaluation: microstructure and sub-structure, mechanical properties (strength and plastic characteristics stated in Table. 1) as well as fatigue properties of these alloys assessed during alternative symmetrical stress in torsion. The paper was aimed to study the affect of processing technology of three aluminium alloys on their utility properties in the conditions of tensile stress and cyclic stress in torsion.
