Abstract:
The alloy is a recent introduction in the 8XX.X series of aluminium alloys and hence information about these alloys is very scarce in literatures. The present study involves optimizing thermal treatments parameters of ANSI 852.0 alloy. This alloy is mainly used in bushings and bearings applications due to its antifriction and antisoaring properties enhanced to it by addition of Sn (5.5-7.0%). For this particular application, 165 Mpa Tensile Strength is needed. In this present research work, the attempt was made to optimize the properties of alloy by designing the Heat Treatment Cycle. The various parameters involved are temperature and time function of ageing treatment. Hence 4 treatment cycles have been designed and then experiments were performed subsequently with variation of temperatures and time periods of the stages of treatment cycles. These cycles were designed for Double Ageing treatments. Single ageing was carried out at 220°C for 8 hours Design matrix of 2^2 was developed. The characterization was carried out in view of understanding microstructure, tensile properties, hardness profile, toughness & fractography of samples.
