HOT DEFORMATION OF ALUMINUM-COPPER-MAGNESIUM POWDER METALLURGY ALLOYS

Mann, Ryan E.D. 03 December 2010 (has links)
The implementation of technologies such as aluminum powder metallurgy (P/M) can be used in the automobile industry to have potential economic and environmental advantages. This technology to produce vehicle components can offer the combination of weight savings due to the low density of aluminum and material and machining savings via near net shape processing attributes. In an effort to expand the scope of application for aluminum P/M, considerable research has emphasized the development of new alloys and composites. One such alloy is P/M 2324, an aluminum-copper-magnesium alloy developed to have increased mechanical properties over the standard aluminum P/M alloys of the AC2014 type. The objective of this work was to undertake a comprehensive study on the effects of hot deformation on the emerging alloy P/M 2324 as well as the alloy with a SiC addition. Here, a forgeability study of these alloys and its wrought counterpart AA2024 was completed. To
