Characterrization Al-4.5%Cu Alloy and Study of Wear Resistance

This investigation gives a selective approach to best, growth the consumption of aluminium, many other metals including copper & iron. The reasons for this are its high strength to weigh ratio, excellent corrosion, high electrical and thermal conductivities, low and high scrap value. These properties, together with its stable price and virtually in the foreseeable future, engineers to find new ways by which the potential of this metal may be used.

Effect of grain refinement the microstructure and mech. Properties of Al-4.5wt%cu alloy grain refined with Al-3Ti- 0.15C. Grain size of Al-4.5Wt%Cu alloy can be reduced by addition of 0.6% Al-3Ti-.15Cu grain refiner. Hardness of alloy was observed to increased with increase grain refiner quantity. In order to further improve the mech. Properties .
