Abstract

AbstractThe tempering process can increase the mechanical properties of the material, such as hardness and impact strength, as well as enhance the corrosion resistance. Therefore, the selection of appropriate tempering time and cooling environment is crucial. This study aims to investigate changes in properties such as hardness, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and microstructure of AA5083‐H111 alloy after a brief tempering process (30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes) at 320 °C, followed by cooling in air and water environments. The study found that tempering time and cooling environment significantly affect the mechanical properties and corrosion rate. The results show that samples labeled as S30 and S60 have the highest hardness and impact strength, but the best corrosion resistance is achieved in the S60 sample. This study demonstrates that even after a limited‐term tempering process, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of AA5083‐H111 alloy can be improved. This information is crucial data for use in the production and application of alloys. The findings of this study could have important implications for the production and application of AA5083‐H111 alloy in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and marine engineering.
