Common alloys
Al-Mn alloys:
 Mn< 1.5%
 Excel pure aluminum both in strength and in
corrosion resistance

Al-Mg alloys:
 Mg < 1.4%
 Stronger, lighter and less corrosion resistant than
pure aluminum
PGS.TS. NGUYỄN NGỌC HÀ 92
b. Deformable Alloys which can be
hardened by heat treatment
 At room temperature: the solid
solution + the second phase

 During proper heating: the


second phase dissolved in the
solid solution

 During fast cooling: the solid


solution will be supersaturated

PGS.TS. NGUYỄN NGỌC HÀ 93


b. Deformable Alloys which can be
hardened by heat treatment
 It is unstable and may undergo certain
transformation resulting in the precipitation of
the second phase, so that the remaining solid
solution contains an equilibrium content
 This process is called “natural aging” (Hóa già tự nhiên) if it
occurs at room temperature
 “Artificial aging” if it takes place at high temperature

b. Deformable alloys which can be
hardened by heat treatment
These are the most important aluminum alloys
As structural materials are widely used
Most popular: Al – 4% Cu alloys

PGS.TS. NGUYỄN NGỌC HÀ 96


Duralumin (Đuara)
 Is the most popular among the aluminum alloys
which are employed in deformed state and can be
strengthened by heat treatment
 Chemical composition:
 Al – 1%Mg – 4%Cu – Mn – Si – Fe
 Mg: increases the effectiveness of hardening - aging
 Mn (0.3-0.9%): increases corrosion resistance
 Mechanical properties after quenching + aging:
 b= 420-470 Mpa; = 15-25%
