The Effect of Cooling Rate and Heat Treatment on An Al-4.5% Cu Alloy, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Varahram, Naser (Supervisor)
Abstract
Al-4.5% Cu alloy, an age-hardenable alloy, is an important alloy in industry due to such unique characteristics as high strength-to-weight ratio and considerable strength at elevated temperatures. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the combined effect of cooling rate and heat treatment on an A206 alloy having more impurities—especially iron—than the nominal specifications. To this end, the melt was poured in a five-step mold. Afterwards, each step was subjected to T4 and T6 treatments in order to study the changes compared to the as-cast samples. Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and grain size were determined by using tensile tests and optical microscopy,...
