Purpose – The paper aims to provide new observations about static strain ageing in aluminium (Al) alloys which are widely used in structural applications. Design/methodology/approach – The present work aims to provide theoretical and practical information to industries or researchers who may be interested in the effect of static strain ageing on mechanical properties of Al alloys. The data are sorted into the following sections: introduction, materials and experimental procedure, results and discussion and conclusions. Findings – Tensile strength, proof strength (0.2 per cent) and percentage elongation measurement were used to investigate the effect of strain ageing on the mechanical properties. Wear tests were performed by sliding the pin specimens, which were prepared from as-received, solution heat-treated, deformed and undeformed specimens after ageing, on high-speed tool steel (64 HRC). It is concluded that the variations in ageing time improved the strength and wear resistance of the 6063 Al alloy; however, a plastically deformed solution-treated alloy has higher strength and wear resistance than undeformed specimens for different ageing times at 180°C. Practical implications – A very useful source of information for industries using or planning to produce Al alloys. Originality/value – This paper fulfils an identified resource need and offers practical help to the industries.

Multiple Addition

This research is devoted to study the effect of addition (2%) TiO2 with different weight percent of fly ash particulate (0, 2, 4, 6%) to 2024 Al alloy on the wear behavior and hardness. The alloy was fabricated by the liquid metallurgy method. The results founds that the wear rate decreased from 0.55 with 0% fly ash to 0.18 at addition percentage of 6% fly ash. Also, the results reveal increasing the samples wear rate with increasing the load and loaded time. The rate of wear was decreased with increasing the sliding speed. Also, the values of hardness increased from 120VH to 160VH with rising the fly ash from 0% to 6%. Keywords: Fly Ash addition, TiO2, 2024 Al Alloy, Wear Resistance, Hardness.

The combination of heat treatment, addition of grain refiner and ECAP processing is used to improve mechanical properties and wear resistance of A356 Al alloys with 1.5 wt.% TiB2. The alloys were grouped into as-cast and pre-ECAP annealing. The alloys were characterized with hardness and wear testing, optical microscopy and SEM. The ECAP processing was done through BA route for 4 passes and it improved hardness, distribution of TiB2 and Si particles in the aluminium matrix and increased wear resitance of pre-ECAP annealing specimen.

Friction Stir

The friction stir welding process (friction stir welding/processing, FSW/FSP) has wear problems related to stirring tools. In this study, the plasma transfer arc (PTA) method was used with stellite 1 powders (Co-based) to coat on the head of a SKD61 stirring tool (SKD61-ST1) in order to investigate the wear performance and phase transformation of SKD61-ST1 after FSW. Under the same experimental parameters, the wear data were compared with the high-speed steel SKH51 (tempering material SKH51-T and annealed material SKH51-A) and tungsten-carbide cobalt (TCC). Results showed the PTA coating was a γ-Co solidification matrix with M7C3 and M23C6 carbides. After FSW, the wear resistance of SKD61-ST1 was better than that of SKH51-A and SKH51-T and lower than that of TCC. The SKD61-ST1, SKH51-A, and SKH51-T stirring tools exhibited sliding wear after FSP, where the pin and shoulder of the stirring tool formed a phase transfer layer on the surface, and the peeling of the phase transfer layer caused wear weight loss. The main phase of the phase transfer layer of the SKD61-ST1 tool was Al9Co2. The affinity and adhesion energy of the Co-Al phase was lower than that of Fe-Al phase, and the phase transfer layer of the SKD61-ST1 tool was thinner and had lower coverage, thereby increasing the wear resistance of the SKD61-ST1 stirring tools during FSW.

The coatings containing zirconia were produced on LY12 Aluminium alloy by micro-arc oxidation in K2ZrF6 and NaH2PO2 solution. The composition, structure, hardness, friction and wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating were studied by XRD, SEM, EDS, ball-on-disk friction tester and electrochemical analyzer, respectively. The results show that coating was composed of m-ZrO2 and t-ZrO2. There were a large amount of Zr and O and a little Al, P and K in the coating. The thickness of coating prepared for 3h was 168μm and the maximum value of the hardness was up to 16.75GPa. The friction and wear resistance and corrosion resistance were improved, compared with the LY12 aluminium alloy substrate.

Zn-Al composites with carbonized rice husks were prepared by permanent mould. Microstructure and wear property of Zn-Al composites were measured under the condition of as-cast heated at 375 °C and 430 °C corresponding to solid and semi-solid range. The microstructure of as-cast, heated at 375 °C and 430 °C were different. The microstructure of as-cast Zn-Al alloy revealed primary a dendrites (α) and eutectoid α+η (α,rich Al, η rich Zinc)phases. The microstructure of ZA alloy with carbonized rice husks was fine dendrites for heated at 375 °C and second and third dendrites were almost dispersed. After semi-solid treatment, the microstructure of Zn-Al composites presented quasi-round or round and large with time prolonger. The hardness of Zn-Al composites rose with carbonized rice husks and increased slightly by heat treatment. Wear resistance of Zn-Al composites with carbonized rice husks improved significantly and increased with carbonized rice husks. But at the same amount of carbonized rice husks the wear resistance of the composite varied little regardless of being in the state of as-cast or heat treatment.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Fretting friction and wear of aluminum alloy, 5 and 10 vol.% SiCp/Al and Ni3Alp/Al composites under 5×10-4 Pa and atmosphere was investigated. Wear mechanism in vacuum was compared to that in atmosphere at different applied loads. The coefficient of friction (COF) of the SiCp/Al composites was larger than aluminum and Ni3Alp/Al composites, however, incorporation of SiC particles into Al alloy increased the fretting wear resistance of Al alloys, especially in vacuum. It should be notices that the maximum wear depth was larger in vacuum under fretting wear, and the Ni3Alp/Al composites show low fretting wear resistance.
