Abstract
This works aims to study the mechanical properties of a Al-1%wt Mn alloy directionally solidified under unsteady-state conditions. The as-cast microstructure was analysed by measuring the cellular spacing, and the mechanical properties were obtained through Vickers microhardness and tensile strength tests. The correlation between the mechanical results and the as-cast microstructure was fundamental to imply a relation between the solidification thermal parameters and the rolling process in which this kind of alloy is submitted to afterwards.
Highlights
The Al-1%wt Mn alloy is basically the composition of the Aluminum 3003 alloy, which is used in radiators, antennas, heat exchangers tubes, cars bodies and more1
The tensile tests has shown no variation of ultimate tensile strength according to the change of cellular spacing, and its value was about 70 MPa
Both properties are appear to be constant in due to few intermetallic in the intercellular spacing, as those are responsible for reinforcing the matrix properties
Summary
The Al-1%wt Mn alloy is basically the composition of the Aluminum 3003 alloy, which is used in radiators, antennas, heat exchangers tubes, cars bodies and more1. This alloy has to be put into mechanical conformation processes like rolling and forging in order to achieve the desired mechanical properties2.
