| Abstract Scope |
The precipitation hardened commercial CuCrZr (UNS number C18150) alloy is used for applications in space, nuclear, automotive, electrical, and commercial industries. There is very meagre systematic data on this material on the effect of solution annealing temperatures on grain size of hot-forged material. Solution annealing was carried out over five different temperatures ranging from 1700°F to 1900°F to observe the difference in the grain size between the as-forged and after solution annealing. Grain size was measured in the as-forged and post solutioning treated conditions. The solution treated coupons were subjected to the standard aging treatment. Hardness was measured in the solution annealed and as-forged condition. It was determined that within the range of temperatures, minimal grain growth occurred. |
