The focus of this research was to quantify the post-fire mechanical properties of 5083-H116 and 6082-T6 aluminum alloys. Post-fire exposure is considered heating the material to a particular temperature then cooling the material back to room temperature. The research included evaluating parent materials as well as welded samples. Post-fire mechanical properties of parent materials were evaluated at temperatures ranging from ambient to 500oC with isothermal and transient heating. Changes in material properties were evaluated through static tensile tests and hardness testing on cooled samples. Using this data, an assessment was performed to investigate the relationship between hardness and mechanical properties. For the alloys evaluated, empirical relationships were found between Vickers hardness and post-fire strength. Testing was also performed on butt welded samples of 6082-T6 exposed isothermally to temperatures ranging from ambient to 500oC. Vickers hardness profiles were measured across a sample to quantify the hardness of the weld, heat affected zone, and parent material. This was performed at room temperature and following different heat exposures. Static tensile tests were used to evaluate the effect of reheating on the welded samples. Post-fire strength of welded samples was strongly affected by weld geometry. Parent material hardness varied with reheating while weld hardness remained constant. At select temperatures, this resulted in the weld having a higher Vickers hardness than the parent material. Despite this tensile failure always occurred within the weld. / Master of Science

In this study, complex rolling technology is adopted to produce aluminum/copper clad metals . The aluminum alloy A1050 and the copper C1100 are used. The experimental plan : the roughness (RCu=3.5£gm¡ARAl=6.45£gm)¡A(RCu=1.0£gm¡ARAl =2.15£gm)¡A(RCu=0.35£gm¡ARAl=0.8£gm) the thickness ratio(tAl:tCu=3:1)¡A(tAl:tCu =2:2)¡A(tAl:tCu=1:3) reduction 60% and 70% are set. It shows that the influence of the thickness is more significant than the roughness on the curvature according to the experimental results. And the results of peeling tests show that the peeling strength for the reduction 70% is larger than that for 60%. And peel strength with the second time rolling is larger than that with only once. The average peeling strength of the specimen in the rolling direction is larger than that in the perpendicular direction. From the micro Vickers hardness tests , it is known that the larger of the reduction of copper is, the larger the micro Vickers hardness between the interface of the sheets is .

In the thesis are analysed influences of three shield gases, based on literary pursuit. Compared was influence of the gas consisting of pure Ar, mixture Ar with 3vol.% CO2 and the mixture Ar with 18vol.% CO2 on mechanical properties of conduction laser welded blunt welds made from structural steel DC01 and S235JR with thickness 3mm and 2mm. Compared were strength properties of the welds in tension, weld hardness and hardness of the heat affected area under the low stress. Further was observed and compared stream of the gases during welding process and its influences on the appearance of the trial welds. On the metallographical cuts of the welds were evaluated mistakes and dimensions of the welds.
