This study examines the fatigue and anisotropy behaviour of cold rolled AA1200 aluminium alloy for light weight automotive connecting rod application. Aluminium (Al) 1200 ingots were melted at temperature of 680 0C (after one hour of heating) cast in sand mould and cast samples homogenized for 6 hrs at 480 0C. The cold rolling process was carried out after homogenisation for 10, 20, 30, 40 and ...

A356 aluminium alloy is subjected to heat treatment and high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing investigate the impact of combined treatments on alloy’s microstructure refinement, corrosion resistance hardness. The process was performed at room temperature for 0.75 5 turns. Subjecting Al a subsequent HPT produced more refined microstructure, which has effect enhancing hardness under fragmentatio...

Abstract Aluminium alloy has high mechanical properties and is widely used in manufacturing vehicles to reduce weight. This paper describes an experimental numerical study of the aluminium 6082-T6 plates butt weld joints. Experiments were conducted on three joint specimens, then stress-strain curves obtained analyzed. Finite element (FE) models developed validated against test results. Based da...

Abstrct :In this study, SiC particles were incorporated by using Friction Stir Processing (FSP) into the 6351 aluminium alloy to form particulate composite materials. Sampels were subjected to constant rotational and traverse speeds of the FSP tool with and without SiC reinforcements. Microstructural observations were carried out by employing optical microscopy of the modifiedsurfaces. Mechanic...

Aluminium foam sandwich panels containing aluminium alloy sheets (‘AFS’) have been made available now in sizes up to a few square metres but an unresolved problem production is how cope with non-uniformities of the and general lack mechanical property data AFS. We investigate large industrial AFS test X-ray radiography as method identify weak points core. For samples which defects are identifie...
