Abstract
High shear strength of 25 kg/mm2 combined with a high plasticity makes Russian grade V65 aluminum alloys as potential candidate compared to AA2024 for riveting applications in aerospace industries. The lower content of magnesium over the AA 2024 alloy decreases the aging kinetics of this alloy because of the decreased vacancy concentration in the as-quenched alloy which in turn gives flexibility to carryout riveting operation even after 4 days after solution heat treat¬ment and natural aging at room temperature. This paper presents the processing and characterization of V65 aluminium alloy wires processed from hot and warm rolled rods. Mechanical properties of the wires have been evaluated in T6 and T4 tempers and correlated with microstructures. Detailed microstructural examination using optical microscopy and fractography of the tensile tested samples using scanning electron microscopy were carriedout.
