Study of Heat Treatment Influence on Aluminum-Based Alloy ATN-Si10Cu4

Abstract

This work presents the experimental results concerning the behavior on heat treatment of on aluminum based alloy. The laboratory level experiments achieved on samples of ATN-Si10Cu4 (4145 series) alloy illustrate the variation of properties depending on the variation of heat treatment technological parameters specific to different heat treatment. We have experimented more variants of heat treatment in order to establish the optimal variant treatment. The samples were characterized by HB hardness and microstructure analysis.
