This paper presents the results of a study on the use of infrared thermography to assess the quality of liquid metal, a basic semi-finished product used in foundry production. EN AC-46000 alloy with the designation AlSi9Cu3(Fe) was used for the study. The crystallization process of the alloy was investigated using the TDA method with a Crystaldigraph device and Optris PI thermal imaging camera. The research describes how to use a thermal imaging camera to assess the quality of aluminium alloys. These alloys, due to their propensity in the liquid state to oxidise and absorb hydrogen, a refining procedure in the melting process. The effects of alloy refining are evaluated during technological tests of hydrogen solubility, density and casting shrinkage. The results presented in this paper showed that there is a statistical correlation between the density of the metal and the temperature values from the thermogram of the sample, obtained during its solidification. The existing correlation makes it possible to develop a thermographic inspection algorithm that allows a fast and non-contact assessment of aluminium alloy quality.

Manufacturing by casting method in aluminum and its alloys is preferred by different industries today. It may be necessary to improve the mechanical properties of the materials according to different industries and different strength requirements. The mechanical properties of metal alloys are directly related to the microstructure grain sizes. Therefore, many grain reduction methods are used during production or heat treatment. In this study, A356 alloys were molded into molds at 750°C and exposed to vibration frequency at 0,8.33, 16.66, 25, and 33.33 Hz during solidification. Optical microscopes images were analyzed in image analysis programs to measure the grain sizes of the samples that solidified after solidification. In addition, microhardness tests of samples were carried out to examine the effect of vibration and grain reduction on mechanical behavior. In the analyzes made, it was determined that the grain sizes decreased from 54.984 to 26.958 μm and the hardness values increased from 60.48 to 126.94 HV with increasing vibration frequency.

The high pressure die casting (HPDC) is a technique that allows us to produce parts for various sectors of industry. It has a great application in such sectors as automotive, energy, medicine, as the HPDC allows us to produce parts very fast and very cheaply. The HPDC casting quality depends on many parameters. The parameters among others, are cast alloy alloy metallurgy, filling system design, casting technology elements geometry and orientation, as well as, machine operation settings. In the article, different plunger motion schemes of the HPDC machine were taken into account. Analyses lead to learning about plunger motion influence on the casting porosity and solidification process run. Numerical experiments were run with the use of MAGMASoft® simulation software. Experiments were performed for industrial casting of water pump for automotive. Main parameter taken into account was maximal velocity of the plunger in the second phase. The analysis covered porosity distribution, feeding time through the gate, temperature field during whole process, solidification time. Cooling curves of the casting in chosen points were also analysed. Obtained results allow us to formulate conclusions that connect plunger motion scheme, gate solidification time and the casting wall thickness on the solidification rate and porosity of the casting.

Self-hardening aluminium alloys represent a new and interesting group of aluminium alloys. They have the advantage that they do not need to be heat treated, which is an important advantage that contributes to a significant reduction in production costs of some components and in the amount of energy used. The present paper deals with the possibility to replace the most used heat treatable AlSi7Mg0.3 cast alloys with a self-hardened AlZn10Si8Mg cast alloy. In this study, microstructural characterization of tensile and fatigue-tested samples has been performed to reveal if this replacement is possible. The results of fatigue tests show that AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy after T6 heat treatment and self-hardened AlZn10Si8Mg has comparable values of fatigue properties. The self-hardening alloy has slightly lower strength, ductility, and hardness.

Abstract The paper deals with the possibilities of influencing the final microstructure of aluminium alloy castings by changing the external conditions of crystallization and solidification. Aluminum alloys, especially Al-Si alloys, are nowadays one of the most used non-ferrous metal alloys, especially due to their mass application in the automotive field. It is in this industry that extreme emphasis is placed on the quality of cast parts with regard to safety. For this reason, a key production parameter is the mastery of the control of the resulting microstructure of the castings and the associated internal quality, which is subject to high demands defined by international standards. The aim of the experiment of this paper is to evaluate the effect of different preheating of the metal mould on the resulting structure and hardness of test castings made of AlSi7Mg0.3 material. The hardness measurement will be evaluated on a hardness tester. The parameter SDAS, Microporosity, Content of excluded eutectic will be evaluated. Dependencies will be found and plotted.

This study presents the effect of high current pulses on the structural and mechanical behavior of the 6016 aluminium alloy in three different states of hardening: naturally aged, super saturated, and annealed. The 6016 aluminium alloy was used for the first time in terms of electrically-assisted forming. The influence of the application of different current parameters on the material behavior was conducted. The study of electrically-assisted tensile tests showed that the application of current pulses results in a distinct response of the material, depending on the hardening state. Although in a hardened state, the mechanical properties and plasticity are deteriorated, in the solution treated state, they are improved. For the changes of the material properties is responsible the interaction of the flowing current with the precipitates and the aging process. The new parameters were proposed to describe the distinctions in the material properties between the different states of hardening of the aluminium alloy during the electrically-assisted tension. The material examination was conducted using light and scanning electron microscopy, using also electron backscattered diffraction methods. The application of, for example, the grain orientation spread parameter demonstrated the presence of recrystallized grains, in electrically-assisted specimens.

The article presents the results of friction tests conducted on EN AW-2024 Alclad aluminium alloy sheets. The lubrication efficiency of oleic acid, mineral and vegetable oils with the addition of SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles was determined using the strip drawing test to assess the friction conditions in the flange area in the deep drawing process. The samples in the form of sheet metal strips were pulled between countersamples with a rounded surface at a speed of 2.5 mm/s. Gear oil and oleic acid demonstrated the lowest value of the coefficient of friction (COF) in the whole range of nominal pressures investigated. The lowest efficiency in reducing the COF was shown by hydraulic oil, olive oil and machine oil. A high content of TiO2 nanoparticles (0.5-0.9%wt%) is beneficial in the friction process involving oleic acid.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań tarcia blach ze stopu aluminium EN AW-2024-T3 Alclad. Efektywność smarowania za pomocą kwasu oleinowego, olejów mineralnych oraz roślinnych z dodatkami nanocząstek SiO2 oraz TiO2 została określona za pomocą testu przeciągania blachy używanego do oceny warunków tarcia panujących w kołnierzowej części wytłoczki w procesie głębokiego wytłaczania. Próbki w postaci pasów blachy przeciągano pomiędzy przeciwpróbkami o zaokrąglonej powierzchni (R = 200 mm) z prędkością 2,5 mm/s. Olej przekładniowy oraz kwas oleinowy zapewniły najmniejszą wartość współczynnika tarcia w całym zakresie analizowanych nacisków nominalnych. Najmniejszą efektywność zmniejszania współczynnika tarcia wykazały olej hydrauliczny, oliwa z oliwek oraz olej maszynowy. Najkorzystniejszy efekt zmniejszenia wartości współczynnika tarcia wynikający z dodatku nanocząstek SiO2 jest widoczny dla kwasu oleinowego przy zawartości nanocząstek 0,5% (wagowo). Wysoka zawartość nanocząstek TiO2 (0,5-0,9% wagowo) jest korzystna podczas procesu tarcia z udziałem kwasu oleinowego.

Since welding technology is currently used to assemble the frame of driver’s seats, it is important to develop laser welding technology for steel and aluminium. For this reason, the purpose of the present work was to examine the structure and selected properties of aluminium-steel joints using the example of an EN AW-6060 aluminium alloy and DC04 low-alloy steel welded in laser technology. Overlapping joints were made, weld type -following the hole laser welding method -laser beam (LB) using a high power disk laser (TRUMPF TruDisk3302), in which the active medium is a yttrium-aluminium crystal (YAG). Metallographic microstructure investigations were carried out using a light microscope from Carl Zeiss - Observer Z1m, and the weld microstructures were investigated using an SEM Supra 35 microscope, also from Carl Zeiss. The chemical composition analysis in micro-areas was carried out using an X-ray energy dispersion spectrometer from EDAX, which was a part of the SEM Supra 35. The hardness of the substrate material and the welded area was measured following the Vickers method using an FM-ARS 9000 micro hardness tester from Tokyo, Japan. It was found that there is a potential for commercial use of laser welding to make a low-carbon steel-aluminium alloy joint. During the formation of the weld in its microstructure, intermetallic compounds of the FexAly type were created, which significantly reduced the mechanical and plastic properties of the joint. The hardness of the weld created wasabout seven times higher than that of DC04 carbon steel. The choice of laser welding parameters (primarily, laser power and beam speed) significantly impacted the weld structure and properties.

Explosive welding of copper C10200 to aluminium alloy AW 5083 was performed. C10200 was proposed as a flyer plate due to its suitable plastic properties. A parallel layout of welded metals was selected to attain a more stable welding process. Welding parameters and conditions were determined. The surfaces of both materials were mechanically machined and degreased prior to welding which was performed using Semtex S30. The bimetals were characterized by a regular wavy interface. The aim of the research was to establish the influence of heat treatment on both the structure and microhardness at the interface of the explosively welded bimetal Al-Cu. Heat treatment was performed at 250, 300 and 350 °C over 2, 3 and 4 h. After heat treatment, an increase in Inter Metallic Compounds (IMC) was observed, proportional to the increasing temperature. An analysis of chemical composition carried out by EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analysis) confirmed the presence of Inter Metallic Phases (IMP) such as θ (Al2Cu), η2 (Al2Cu), ξ2 (Al3Cu4), δ (Al2Cu3), γ1 (A14Cu9). The microhardness decreased after the heat treatment in the bimetal but significantly increased at the interface as a consequence of IMC formation.

Obróbkę cieplną przeprowadzono w 250, 300 i 350 °C przez 2, 3 i 4 godziny. Po obróbce cieplnej zaobserwowano wzrost związków międzymetalicznych (IMC), który był proporcjonalny do wzrostu temperatury. Analiza składu chemicznego przeprowadzona przez EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analysis) potwierdziła obecność IMP takich jak θ (Al2Cu), η2 (AlCu), ξ2 (Al3Cu4), δ (Al2Cu3), γ1 (Al4Cu9). Mikrotwardość zmniejszyła się po obróbce cieplnej w bimetalu, ale znacznie wzrosła na granicy faz w wyniku tworzenia IMC.

This paper presents the results of study on the possibility of Nocolok flux deposition to aluminium substrates using the low-pressure cold gas spraying (LPCS) method. An innovative method of applying flux in the form of a powder without organic adhesive additives was proposed, allowing strict control of the deposited material. The influence of the flux powder feeding rate (PFR – 4.5 g/min, 6.3 g/min and 8.5 g/min) on the efficiency of the brazing process of AA3003 aluminium alloy plates was investigated. The results of energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) analysis of the deposited flux coatings are presented for various process parameters. The wettability tested by spreading the B-AlSi12 filler metal on flux-covered aluminium substrates increased significantly with increasing PFR – the contact angle decreased from 21.0° to 4.6°. Microstructure analysis confirmed the high quality of the brazed joints, which were devoid of braze incompatibilities.

This paper presents the results of experimental research on the fabrication of thin-walled panels with longitudinal stiffening ribs by the single point incremental sheet forming technique. The bead-stiffened panels were made of Alclad 2024-T3 aluminium alloy sheets commonly used in aircraft structures. The influence of forming parameters and tool strategy on surface quality and the possibility of obtaining stiffening ribs with the required profile and depth was tested through experimental research. Two tool path strategies, spiral with continuous sinking and multi-step z-level contouring, were considered. The results of the experiments were used to verify the finite element-based numerical simulations of the incremental forming process. It was found that the main parameter which influences the formability of test sheets is the tool path strategy; the tool path strategy with multi-step z-level contouring allowed the rib to be formed to a depth of 3.53 mm without risk of cracking. However a greater depth of rib equal of 5.56 mm was achieved with the continuous tool path. The tool path strategy was also the main parameter influencing the surface finish of the drawpiece during the single point incremental forming process.

the manufacture of mechanical structures where low weight is critical. However, when these alloys are subjected to elevated temperatures, their mechanical properties deteriorate significantly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of aluminium alloy, EN AC-Al Si12CuNiMg. For this purpose, an experimental investigation was performed at ambient and elevated temperatures on aluminium alloy samples prepared by casting. Tensile and hardness tests were carried out to characterize the mechanical properties of this material. Additionally, an optical microscope was used to examine the microstructures of this alloy. Finally, a scanning electron microscope was used to analyze the fracture modes of this material. The results show that the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, and Young's modulus of this alloy dramatically decrease when the temperature exceeds 250oC. The microstructural investigation reveals several factors that are detrimental to the mechanical properties of this alloy. This includes coarse-grained structures, micro-pores, and several intermetallic compounds. Furthermore, fractography reveals a minor cleavage-like pattern and micro-cracks on the fracture surface of all failed samples under various temperatures, indicating semi-brittle fracture mode.

The paper presents the application of the casting method for the production of porous composites, called syntactic foams, of the casting alloy - solid particles type. This method was used to produce composites based on Al alloys reinforced with particles of clinoptilolite, a natural mineral from the zeolite group. Before the casting process, tests were carried out on the morphology, physicochemical properties and chemical composition of the zeolite, which was obtained from a rock called zeolite tuff, mined in a quarry in Kucin, (VSK PRO-ZEO s.r.o., Slovakia). Observations of the microstructure of the produced composites were also carried out using a scanning electron microscope. Diffractometric tests of zeolite rock as delivered for research and of the produced samples reinforced with zeolite particles were also carried out. Initial studies of the density and porosity of the produced composites were performed. The usefulness of the presented method of composite production was assessed on the basis of the conducted structural tests, with particular emphasis on the particle distribution in the alloy matrix.

This paper presents a review of composite structures in which aluminium alloys are used. Current trends in the research of composite structures with aluminium girders and their possible applications in structural engineering were shown. In the presented solutions, advantageous properties of aluminium alloys were exploited, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and recyclability. The authors demonstrated the structural behaviour of aluminium-concrete and aluminium-timber composite beams based on their own tests as well as investigations presented in the literature. Furthermore, aluminium-concrete composite columns, a composite mullion made of an aluminium alloy and timber, and a military bridge consisting of aluminium truss components, a stay-in-place-form, reinforcement and concrete were presented. In addition to the description of the structural elements, the main conclusions from their experimental, theoretical and numerical analyses were also demonstrated in this paper. The connection of aluminium girders with concrete or timber slabs provided for the increase of the load-bearing capacity and stiffness, and it eliminated the problem of local buckling in girder flanges and lateral-torsional buckling of girders in the analysed solutions.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the effect of sandblasting surface treatment, before the bonding process, on the strength of the adhesive joints of the three types of aluminium alloy sheets. Three values of pressure were used during the sandblasting process, i.e. 0.41 MPa, 0.51 MPa and 0.56 MPa. After mechanical treatment, the samples of aluminium alloys sheets were degreased three times with acetone by immersion. The elements were bonded with single-lap joints using two components epoxy adhesive. After the curing process, the shear strength tests of the aluminium alloy adhesive joints were conducted, according to the DIN EN 1465 standard. The surface topography of all samples was measured, and the most important surface roughness parameter and its waviness were determined. Based on the experimental results, it was noticed that, among others, while using the same pressure value during sandblasting of different aluminium alloys, the roughness parameters Ra and Rz of the obtained surfaces differed depending on the type of alloy. It is also to notice that more than two times strength of the joints was obtained by those made of the aluminium alloy sheet, which was subjected to heat treatment.

The paper presents an overview of high-performance milling techniques of thin-walled elements. Currently, the tendency to simplify semi-finished products is used in aviation. In that case even 95% of semi-finished product mass is converted into chips, hence the increasing interest in such technol-ogies as: High Performance Cutting and High Speed Cutting. The aim of the paper was to research high-performance milling techniques of thin-walled elements in reference to conventional machin-ing. The material was the EN AW-7075 T651 aluminium alloy. A thin-walled pocket structure was designed and manufactured. The aspects related to geometric accuracy, surface quality and cutting time were analysed. On the basis of the obtained results, it was found that in case of geometric accu-racy related to the wall deformation, the greatest deformation was obtained after HPC, while the smallest one after HSC. The difference was over 400% (comparing HPC to HSC). A similar relation-ship was also received for the quality of the machined surface. Analysing the cutting time, the best result was achieved after HPC in reference to HSC and conventional machining. Taking into ac-count all analysed variables, the best solution was a combination of HPC and HSC. Thanks to the use of high-speed machining as a finishing, it is possible to receive high geometric accuracy and quality of the machined surface, while the application of HPC for roughing allows to shorten the cutting time, translating into an increase in the efficiency of the milling process. Conventional ma-chining is slightly less advantageous in terms of geometric accuracy and surface quality and it could possibly be used alternatively with High Speed Cutting, but its weakness is significantly lower effi-ciency compared to high-performance machining.

The paper presents an evaluation of joints resulting from adhesively bonded aluminum sheets. The aim of the study was to assess the possibility of applying this type of connection for the construction of composite beams. The results of experimental tests on the shear test of joints are presented. Four types of connectors were the subjects of the research. The joints of the same geometry were made of four 1.6 mm thick sheets of aluminum alloy AA 7075-T6. Each type of joint was characterized by a different material joining the sheets: three of them were connected by acrylic foam tapes, one joint was made using two component toughened methacrylate adhesive. Three different double-sided acrylic foam tapes with different properties were tested. It has been assessed that the two-component toughened methacrylate adhesive can be used for the construction of the aluminum core applied in composite structures.

W ostatnich latach obserwuje się znaczny wzrost użycia bezzałogowych statków powietrznych (BSP) w licznych zastosowaniach komercyjnych, a także wojskowych. Obecnie szacuje się, że na świecie istnieje przeszło 10 mln tego typu obiektów, wykorzystywanych od celów od hobbystycznych po profesjonalne, których wartość przekracza wiele milionów dolarów. BSP, zwane powszechnie dronami muszą cechować się małą masą i dużą sprawnością układu napędowego i zasilania, które pozwalają na długi czas nieprzerwanej pracy w powietrzu zwiększając obszar potencjalnych zastosowań. Jest to szczególnie istotne w przypadku obiektów latających używanych w zastosowaniach profesjonalnych. W zależności od zastosowania i liczności serii, do ich budowy wykorzystuje się wiele różnych materiałów w szczególności kompozytów. Jednakże bezzałogowe aparaty latające używane do celów militarnych, a także komercyjnych, np. w transporcie i rolnictwie muszą dodatkowo cechować się wytrzymałą i stabilną konstrukcją pozwalającą na przenoszenie dużych obciążeń. Z tej przyczyny coraz częściej do budowy BSP używa się stopów metali lekkich w szczególności aluminium, magnezu i tytanu. Ważnym argumentem przemawiającym za używaniem stopów metali lekkich są również względy ekologiczne gdyż niedostatecznie jeszcze są rozwinięta procesy recyklingu materiałów kompozytowych.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) in numerous commercial as well as military applications. Currently, it is estimated that there are more than 10 million such objects in the world, used for purposes ranging from hobby to professional, with a value exceeding many millions of dollars. UAV, commonly referred to as drones, must be characterized by low weight and high efficiency of the propulsion and power systems that allow for long periods of continuous operation in the air increasing the area of potential applications. This is especially important for flying objects used in professional applications. Depending on the application and the number of series, many different materials are used for their construction, especially composites. However, unmanned aerial vehicles used for military as well as commercial purposes, such as transport and agriculture, must additionally feature a robust and stable design to carry heavy loads. For this reason, lightweight metal alloys, in particular aluminum, magnesium and titanium, are increasingly being used to build UAV. An important argument for the use of light alloys are also ecological considerations as recycling processes for composite materials are still underdeveloped.

W artykule zaprezentowano wpływ zmęczeniowych obciążeń mechanicznych na odporność korozyjną profili okiennych i drzwiowych wykonanych ze stopu aluminium EN AW-6063 z powłoką poliestrową. W badaniach zastosowano własną metodę oceny, polegającą na cyklicznych obciążeniach skupionych działających na próbkę metodą trójpunktowego zginania. Efektem tych obciążeń było powstanie w obrębie struktury aluminium trwałego odkształcenia plastycznego, podczas gdy w przypadku powłoki pokrywającej profile aluminiowe nastąpiło niewielkie zmniejszenie odporności korozyjnej, niepowodujące jednak utraty właściwości barierowych. Stwierdzono również, że gdy obciążeniom mechanicznym towarzyszy działanie kwaśnej mgły solnej, pojawiają się mikrouszkodzenia w strukturze powłok, w istotny sposób zmniejszając ich właściwości barierowe, co potwierdzono wynikami badań spektroskopii impedancyjnej.

The article presents the effect of mechanical load fatigue on corrosion resistance of profiles made of EN AW-6063 aluminium alloy with polyester coating. In test, own research methodology was used, consisting in cyclical application of concentrated load to the tested sample with the three-point bending method. The effect of these loads was the formation of a permanent plastic deformation within the aluminium structure, while in the case of the coating covering aluminium profiles, there is a slight reduction in corrosion resistance, without the loss of barrier properties, however. It was also found that when in addition to mechanical load, salt spray test was applied, microdamage in the coatings’ structure appeared, significantly reducing their barrier properties, which was confirmed by the results of impedance spectroscopy.
