| Abstract Scope |
Present study investigates the development of Al-Mg7-Cu1-2 alloys with Ti, V, and Nb additions. The main focus is based on microstructural evolution, phase formation, and defect characterization. The Alloys were produced by gravity casting into sand molds. FACTSAGE thermodynamic simulations were used to predict phase equilibria and resulting phases. The alloying of Ti, V, and Nb master alloys has resulted in grain refinement and homogenous distribution of said elements over the microstructure as confirmed by SEM-EDS mappings. Optical crack surface analysis revealed defects related to intermetallic phases. The combined use of theoretical simulations and experimental techniques provided an understanding of how Ti-V-Nb influence microstructure and mechanical properties. Findings suggest that alloying with transition metals can increase the mechanical strength and reliability of Al-Mg7-Cu1.2 alloys. The approach adopted in the present study demonstrates the value of combining computational and experimental methods for the design and optimization of advanced aluminum alloys. |
