Evolution of Microstructure in Al-Si-Cu System Modified with a Transition Element Addition and its Effect on Hardness

Evolution of Microstructure in Al-Si-Cu System Modified with a Transition Element Addition and its Effect on Hardness

The effect of Ni 1-2 wt.% addition on the microstructure and hardness of the aged A319 alloy were studied. Characterization analyses by x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy suggest clearly that Ni addition forms Al-Ni-Cu-Fe, Al-Cu-Ni and Al-Ni intermetallic compound...
