MICROHARDNESS STUDY IN ALUMINUM AND COPPER BASE ALLOYS

In the present work we analyze the variations in microhardness as a function of both microstructure and load applied in Al-Cu, Al-Si, Al-Li, Al-Mg, Al-Zn and Cu-Zn alloys directionally solidified. The microstructures analyzed were columnar, equiaxed and columnar to equiaxed (CET) transition zones. M...

description In the present work we analyze the variations in microhardness as a function of both microstructure and load applied in Al-Cu, Al-Si, Al-Li, Al-Mg, Al-Zn and Cu-Zn alloys directionally solidified. The microstructures analyzed were columnar, equiaxed and columnar to equiaxed (CET) transition zones. Microhardness measurements were made at room temperature using a Buehler microdurometer and loads between 10 and 1000 gf were used. Furthermore, variations in microhardness as a function of concentration and as a function of both sample length and width are reported. We noticed that the microhardness values decrease when the load increase reaching almost constant values at higher loads. We observed that bulk alloys have greater microhardness values than those directionally solidified. The experimental results are analyzed and discussed.

En el presente trabajo se realiza un estudio de la variación de la microdureza con las diferentes estructuras formadas, columnar, equiaxial y con transición de estructura columnar a equiaxial, TCE, en aleaciones Al - Cu, Al - Si, Al - Li, Al - Mg, Al-Zn y Cu - Zn, solidificadas direccionalmente empleando diferentes cargas. Las medidas de microdureza fueron realizadas a temperatura ambiente con un microdurómetro Buehler, con cargas entre 10 y 1000 gf. Se analizaron las variaciones de la microdureza en función de la longitud y el ancho de las probetas y, además, en función de la concentración. Se observó que los valores de microdureza tienden a disminuir con el aumento de la carga, por lo tanto, tienen una tendencia a permanecer constantes con cargas más elevadas. También se observó que las aleaciones en el estado bruto de fusión exhiben una mayor microdureza que cuando se las solidifica direccionalmente. Se analizan y discuten los resultados obtenidos.
