SOLID SOLUTION STRENGTHENING IN AL ALLOYS Effect of Solute Concentration on Yield Strength
EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS Cu : One of the most important alloying additions. Appreciable solubility. Strengthening through solution treatment and aging when added as principal alloying element, and through solid solution strengthening in secondary additions Mn:It has limited solubility. It is added in the limit of about 1% in non heat treatable wrought alloys(3xxx). It is used as supplementary addition in both heat treatable and non heat treatable alloys Mg:Provides substantial strengthening and improvement of work hardening characteristics of Al. High solubility in solid solution but not amenable to heat treatment. Zn:Zn is added in conjunction with Mg in wrought alloys to make it suitable for heat treatment(7xxx). Mg produces the highest solid solution strength among all Al alloys Contd…
EFFECT OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS Si:It lowers the melting point and increases fluidity of Al. Some increase in strength is also achieved Mg+Zn :Mg and Zn are added in appropriate proportions to form Mg2Si precipitate which is the basis for age hardening in both wrought(6XXX) and cast(3XXX) alloys. Sn : Improves the anti friction characteristics of Al. Cast Al-Sn alloys(8XX.X) alloys are used for bearings. Li : added to some Al alloys in concentrations approaching 3wt% to decrease density and increase elastic modulus. Eg. Al-Cu-Li alloys (2091) , Al-Cu-Li-Mg alloys(8090).
