Structural Stability of Novel Multicomponent AlZn-Based Cast Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Structural modification of ternary aluminium – zinc – coper alloys influences their wear properties. In a series of studies, Al – 30 wt. % Zn – 3 wt. % Cu alloy (Al-30Zn-3Cu) has been doped with 1 wt.% Mn introduced with AlMn-based master alloys. The alloy microstructure and mechanical properties have been studied using light and SEM/EBSD microscopy, and measurements of wear resistance and dimensional changes. Reducing Cu content to 3 wt.% and doping with 1 wt.% Mn allows obtaining alloy of significantly refined grains, improved wear resistance and preserved high dimensional stability.
