| Abstract Scope |
With the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, the development of lightweight, materials have become vital to reducing energy consumption. Aluminum alloys are particularly attractive for automotive and aerospace applications offering substantial fuel-efficiency advantages.
In this research the influence of Ag/Sn ratio on the precipitation kinetics were carried out was carried out in Al-Cu-Mg alloy. The methodology involves the design and fabrication of Al–Cu–Mg alloy compositions containing 0.3–0.6 wt.% Ag and 0.01–0.03 wt.% Sn, via a controlled casting process. In conclusion, the microstructural features such as grain size and particle size with respect to alloy compositions, revealed that improvement in mechanical properties is due to the compositional design and precipitation strengthening. The findings are expected to enhance the understanding of compositional design in Al–Cu–Mg–Ag–Sn alloys for transportation and aerospace applications. |
