| Abstract Scope |
Novel applications of lightweight alloys in various fields (e.g. automotive, aerospace) demand for even enhanced materials characteristics like improved mechanical properties and higher resistance against corrosion. Apart from modifying the alloy’s composition within specified limits, micro-alloying is a valuable tool to aim for improved mechanical properties and/or corrosion resistance. This study puts light on how altering the alloy’s composition and/or micro-alloying using Sn changes the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior. Three different alloying compositions of EN-AW 6056 (standard, high alloying element concentration and, 0.025 wt.-% Sn addition) were tested. The influence of composition on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were then evaluated. |
