Przedstawiono wyniki badań spawania TIG i MIG oraz zgrzewania FSW złączy z blach ze stopu aluminium EN AW6082, EN AW 5754 oraz odlewniczego stopu EN AC-43200. Scharakteryzowano stopy Al-Mg oraz Al-Mg-Si i ich spawalność. W ramach realizowanych badań przeprowadzono dobór warunków spawania i zgrzewania różnoimiennych stopów aluminium. Złącza poddano badaniom wizualnym, metalograficznym makroskopowym, penetracyjnym (złącza spawane) oraz własności mechanicznych w statycznej próbie rozciągania i zginania (złącza zgrzewane FSW). Na podstawie wyników badań realizowanych w Łukasiewicz – GIT oceniono, że jakość złączy spawanych zależy od przygotowania elementów do spawania, natomiast złączy zgrzewanych od parametrów zgrzewania i ustawienia stopów Al w złączu względem ruchu obrotowego narzędzia.

Results of TIG, MIG and FSW welding technologies of joints made of EN AW-6082, EN AW 5754 aluminum alloy sheets and EN AC-43200 casting alloy are presented. This article briefly presents the characteristics of Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Si alloys and their weldability. As part of the research welding conditions for dissimilar aluminum alloys were selected. The joints were subjected to the visual and penetrant tests (TIG, MIG joints), light microscopy examination as well as tensile and bend tests (FSW joints). Based on the test results obtained in Łukasiewicz – GIT, it was found that the quality of arc welded joints depends on the preparation of the elements for welding, while the quality of FSW joints depends on the welding parameters and the positioning of Al alloys in the joint in relation to the rotational movement of the tool.

The paper addresses an important scientific topic from the utilitarian point of view concerning the surface treatment of Al-Si-Cu aluminum alloys by PVD/ALD hybrid coating deposition. The influence of the conditions of deposition of titanium oxide in CrN/TiO2 coatings on their structure and properties, in particular corrosion resistance, were investigated. The TiO2 layer was produced by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method with a variable number of cycles. Structural investigations were performed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Raman spectroscopy methods. Electrochemical properties were analyzed using potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The CrN/TiO2 hybrid coating with titanium oxide deposited at 500 ALD cycles showed the best corrosion properties. It was also found that the prerequisite for obtaining the best electrochemical properties was the amorphous structure of titanium oxide in the tested hybrid coatings. The high tribological properties of the tested coatings were also confirmed.

Convection caused by gravity and forced flow are present during casting. The effect of forced convection generated by a rotating magnetic field on the microstructure and precipitating phases in eutectic and hypoeutectic AlSiMn alloys was studied in solidification by a low cooling rate and low temperature gradient. The chemical composition of alloys was selected to allow joint growth or independent growth of occurring α-Al, α-Al15Si2Mn4 phases and Al-Si eutectics. Electromagnetic stirring caused instead of equiaxed dendrites mainly rosettes, changed the AlSi eutectic spacing, decreased the specific surface Sv and increased secondary dendrite arm spacing λ2 of α-Al, and modified the solidification time. Forced flow caused complex modification of pre-eutectic and inter-eutectic Mn-phases (Al15Si2Mn4) depending on the alloy composition. By high Mn content, in eutectic and hypoeutectic alloys, stirring caused reduction in the number density and a decrease in the overall dimension of pre-eutectic Mn-phases. Also across cylindrical sample, specific location of occurring phases by stirring was observed. No separation effect of Mn-phases by melt flow was observed. The study provided an understanding of the forced convection effect on individual precipitates and gave insight of what modifications can occur in the microstructure of castings made of technical alloys with complex composition.

During mold filling and casting solidification, melt flow caused by gravity is present. Otherwise, forced flow may be a method applied for casting properties improvement. The flow effect generated by an electromagnetic field on the growing phases and a whole microstructure in Al-Si-Mn alloys was studied by slow solidification conditions. The hypereutectic and eutectic alloys were chosen to allow independent growth or joint growth of forming: Si crystals, Mn-rich α-Al15Si2Mn4 phases and Al-Si eutectics. In eutectic alloys, where Mn-phases precipitate as first and only one till solidus temperature, flow decreased number density of pre-eutectic α-Al15Si2Mn4. In the hypereutectic alloys, where Mn-phases grow in common with Si crystals, forced convection increased the overall dimension, decreased number density of pre-eutectic Mn phases and strengthened the tendency to growth in the outside of the sample. In the alloys, where Si crystals grow as first, stirring reduce number density of Si and moved them into thin layer outside cylindrical sample. Also by joint growth of Si crystals and Mn-phases, in hypereutectic Mn/Si alloy, flow moved Si crystals outside, reduced number density and increased the dimension of crystals. Stirring changed also AlSi eutectic spacing, specific surface Sv of α-Al and secondary dendrite arm spacing λ2. The results gave insight of what transformation under stirring take place in simple Al-Si-Mn alloys, and helps to understand what modifications in technical alloys may occur, that finally lead to changes in castings microstructure and properties. The possibility to control dimension, number density and position of Mn-phases and Si crystals is completely new and may help by metallurgical processes, continuous casting of billets and in the production of Si for the solar photovoltaic industry.

Due to the high demand for secondary alloys in the automotive and aerospace industry, this work investigates the effect of higher iron content on the quality of AlSi7Mg0.6 sand castings. Secondary-recycled Al-Si alloys contain an increased amount of impurities due to their remelting of scrap metal. One of the most unwanted impurities found in these alloys is iron. Iron leads to the formation of various Fe-rich intermetallic phases, whose morphology influences the mechanical properties even at low Fe content. It also promotes the formation of casting defects, such as porosity and shrinkage. The formation of porosity in secondary Al-alloys is another major aspect that can affect the final properties of castings. Since these materials are mainly used to produce castings for the automotive industry, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, and so on, it is necessary to produce castings without any defects. Therefore, the quality of AlSi7Mg0.6 sand casting is investigated at lower iron content (0.128% wt. Fe) and compared to the higher iron content (0.429% wt. Fe), whereby a correlation between iron content and porosity is monitored.

The article analyzes the groundwork on the influence of alloying contaminants on the structure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. Aluminum has become widely used in various parts of machine-building due to its physical properties. However, the main task of modern material science is to increase the strength of aluminum alloys. Therefore, today there is the development of materials and alloys based on aluminum with alloying constituents (copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc, mangan), which are administered in aluminum mainly to increase its strength. Especially attractive are properties of aluminum-doped by transition metals, in particular scandium, zirconium, iron, etc. Finally, conclusions are drawn in order to develop a material based on aluminum with increased hardness, durability, and crack resistance.

Cold spraying as a low-temperature coating deposition method is intended for thermally sensitive materials. Due to its precise temperature control, it limits the formation of structural defects, and can therefore be easily applied to spray corrosion protective coatings made from metal or metal-ceramic powders. However, the formation of pure ceramic coatings with the use of cold spraying is still not so common. Titanium dioxide is one of the most interesting ceramics due to its photocatalytic properties. Nevertheless, these types of coating materials usually work in a corrosion favoring humid atmosphere. In the presented paper, amorphous TiO2 powder was deposited onto aluminum alloys and steel substrates and then submitted to potentiodynamic corrosion tests in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The as-sprayed coating showed phase transition from amorphous TiO2 to anatase, and also revealed porosity. As a result, electrolytes penetrated the coating and caused undercoating corrosion in the tested environment of an aqueous NaCl solution. The analysis of the potentiodynamic curves showed that the presence of the coating decreased corrosion potential on both substrates. It arose from the mixed phases of TiO2, which consisted of photocathode - amorphous material and photoanode - crystalline anatase. The phase mixture induced the galvanic corrosion of metallic substrates in the presence of electrolytes. Moreover, pitting-like corrosion and coating delamination were detected in aluminium alloy and steel samples, respectively. Finally, the corrosion mechanism of the titanium dioxide coatings was characterized and described.

In this work, the effect of single roll drive cross rolling on the microstructure, crystallographic texture, hardness, tensile properties, and fracture behavior of AA7075 aluminum alloy was investigated. It was found that with increasing the thickness reduction, the grain size reduced and the average width of grain for the 40% deformed sample decreased to 3.7 ± 0.4 µm. Due to the nature of the cross-rolling process, several X-type shear bands were observed after 40% deformation. The recrystallization texture is notably intensified to its highest value of 4.4 × R, after only 20% cold deformation due to the occurrence of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The intensity of recrystallization texture sharply dropped to its lowest value of 2.7 × R. This was due to the rotation of Goss-orientated new grains in the 20% deformed sample toward copper orientation during 40% rolling. With increasing the thickness reduction, the overall texture intensity significantly reduced owing to the nature of the cross-rolling process in which the rolling direction rotates 90° after each 10% strain. Two texture transitions were observed along τ fiber: rolling (copper) texture to recrystallization (Goss) texture after 20% thickness reduction and recrystallization to the rolling texture after 40% deformation. The hardness and strength increased by increasing the thickness reduction, while the ductility decreased. After a 40% thickness reduction, yield strength significantly increased from 138.3 ± 4.4 MPa (for initial sample) to the highest value of 580.5 ± 11.5 MPa, demonstrating 320% increment, in the 0° direction. This increment for 45° and 90° direction was 265% and 337%, respectively. By 40% rolling, the value of in-plane anisotropy (IPA) remarkably decreased to its lowest value of 3.4% due to texture weakening. With increasing the rolling reduction to 20%, the severity of Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) increased in the flow curves due to the occurrence of CDRX and also strengthening of the rotated cube {001} < 110 > and E {111} < 110 > components. With increasing the rolling reduction, the size of cleavage facets and the severity of delamination increased, and the number and depth of dimples decreased.

The paper compares changes in the structure and mechanical properties due to the synergistic effect of alloying elements Zr and Ti. It is assumed that by increasing the content of Zr and Ti in the aluminium alloy, better mechanical properties will be achieved. Paper focuses on description of the differences between the samples casted into the shell mold and the metal mold. Main difference between mentioned molds is a different heat transfer coefficient during pouring, solidification and cooling of the metal in the mold. The main goal was to analyse the influence of Zr and Ti elements and compare the mechanical properties after the heat treatment. Curing and precipitation aging were used during the experiment. The effect of the elements on AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy created differences between the excluded Zr phases after heat treatment. Evaluation of the microstructure pointed to the decomposition of large predominantly needle Zr phases into smaller, more stable formations.

The tribological performance of 5xxx series aluminum alloys with ternary zirconium is evaluated at ambient conditions under dry, wet and saline environment. The experiment has been done using a Pin-on-Disk apparatus under an applied load of 20N. The sliding distances varies ranging from 116m-2772m at a sliding velocity of 0.385 ms-1. The results show that presence of Mg and Zr into this alloy helps to increase their strength and wear resistance under dry sliding condition. But they significantly suffer under wet and corrosive environment due to formation of β-phase Al3Mg2, to slip bands and grain boundaries which may lead to and stress-corrosion cracking. The variation of friction coefficient is observed in wet and corrosive environment due to the formation of oxidation film, lubrication, and corrosion action in solution. The SEM analysis shows that brittle Al3Mg2 phase initiate the fracture surface for Al-Mg alloy and Zr addition accelerate the brittleness of the alloy owing the fine precipitates of Al3Zr.

The paper presents the possibility of using FSW technology for joining elements of a landing gear beam of the M28 aircraft. The FSW process was performed on a 4-axis numerical machine under industrial conditions. However, before welding was carried out under industrial conditions, preliminary experimental tests were carried out under laboratory conditions. Preliminary research was carried out for AA2024-T3 aluminum sheets of 1 mm and 3 mm in thickness, joined in a lap configuration. The influence of technological and geometric parameters of the process on the quality and strength of the weld was examined. Sheet metal arrangement was analyzed. Tests were carried out for two configurations. The first of which with 1 mm sheet on the top and 3 mm sheet on the bottom and in reverse order. It has been shown that setting a thicker plate on the top gives a 40% better strength. The microhardness and microstructure of the weld were tested. During the laboratory tests, low-cycle fatigue tests of the FSW lap joint were performed. It has been shown that the FSW method can be an alternative to the riveting process in the production of aviation structure elements.

The effect of the complex ligature with nickel and REM (Ce, La) aluminides on the structure formation, the nature of the distribution of the elements, and the microhardness of the structural constituents of Al-5 wt.% Cu aluminum alloy were investigated. On the example of microalloying of the Al-5 wt.% Cu alloy with a master alloy containing Ni and REM (Ce, La) aluminides it was shown that a redistribution of Al and Cu occurs in α-solid solution and eutectic. This is reflected in the refinement of α-solid solution and eutectic at 0.15 wt.% of the master alloy addition and, accordingly, increases the microhardness of α-solid solution by 100 MPa and eutectic by 125 MPa.

The paper covers the research on the process of solutionizing of 7075 aluminum alloy in cold tools during the stamping of a high-strength structural element (B-pillar’s base). For technological reasons, in order to obtain high strength parameters of the 7075 alloy, it is necessary to carry out a solutionization process, which allows to obtain dispersion strengthening during ageing process. Properly performed heat treatment of the alloy increases the strength of the material to approx. 600 MPa. The combination of the process of solutionization with simultaneous shaping is aimed at improving and simplifying technological operations of aluminum alloy stamping, shortening the duration of the manufacturing process and reducing production costs. The manufactured lower part of the B-pillar will be used for the verification of the validity of the developed method. During the experiment, a series of stamping tests were carried out, in which the lubricants, pressure and position of the upper and lower blankholders were the variables. The obtained results allow to estimate the influence of the cooling conditions on the strength of the drawpieces obtained after the process of artificial ageing. In order to verify and analyse the results more quickly, a numerical simulation was carried out.

Silver coatings have a very high reflection ability. To avoid their darkening from the hydrogen sulphide in the air, a thin layer of heat-resistant colorless lacquer is applied to the coatings. Silver plating is mainly used in jewelery, optics, electronics and electrical engineering. Depending on their application the thickness of the layer may vary from 2 to 24 μm. It can be done in several ways: chemical, electrochemical, contact, etc. The most common way of silver plating is the electrochemical deposition using cyanide and non-cyanide electrolytes. The cyanide electrolytes produce light, fine crystalline, dense and plastic coatings upon silver-plating. Usually silver coatings are applied with copper or nickel intermediate layer. In order to improve the de-oxidation of the aluminum surface new chemical treatment in acid – alkaline solution was applied. Our previous research shows that the presence of diamond nanoparticles in the electrolyte increase the metal deposition. Samples were prepared from electrolyte containing 10 g/l diamond nanoparticles. Their properties were compared to the properties of reference samples. The diamonds were obtained by detonation synthesis. The aim of this study is to obtain electrochemically deposited silver layer with high density, adhesion and electric conductivity on aluminum alloys substrate. The coating was directly plated without intermediate layer. Non-cyanide electrolyte composition and electrochemical parameters were determined in order to produce Ag coatings on Al alloy substrate without intermediate layer. The coating is with good adhesion, density and thickness of 14-23 μm.

As part of the studies conducted in the field of broadly understood casting of non-ferrous metals, selected results on the impact of variable additions of copper and silicon in aluminium were presented. A series of melts was carried out with copper content kept constant at a level of 2% (1st stage) and 4% (2nd stage) and variable contents of silicon introduced into aluminium. The crystallization characteristics of the examined alloys and the percentage of structural constituents at ambient temperature were obtained by modelling the thermodynamic parameters of individual phases with the CALPHAD method. The microstructure of the obtained alloys was examined and microhardness was measured by the Vickers-Hanemann method. The alloy properties were assessed based on the results of mechanical tests, including ultimate tensile strength (UTS), hardness (BHN) and elongation (E). The machinability of the tested alloys was analyzed in a machinability test carried out by the Keep-Bauer method, which consisted in drilling with a constant feed force. The obtained results clearly indicate changes in the images of microstructure, such as the reduction in grain size, solution hardening and precipitation hardening. The changes in the microstructure are also reflected in the results of mechanical properties testing, causing an increase in strength and hardness, and plasticity variations in the range of 4 ÷ 16%, mainly due to the introduced additions of copper and silicon. The process of alloy strengthening is also visible in the results of machinability tests. The plotted curves showing the depth of the hole as a function of time and the images of chips produced during the test indicate an improvement in the wear resistance obtained for the tested group of aluminium alloys with the additions of copper and silicon.

The features of microstructure formation and properties of commercial pure aluminum alloy (Al 99.5%) obtained by radial-shear rolling (RSR) method at the different heating temperatures of 25, 200, 250, 300 and 350 °C were examined. In this paper, the rods with diameter of 14 mm were obtained from initial billet with diameter of 60 mm in five passes. The microstructure analysis with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), measurements of microhardness HV over cross-section, and tension test for determination of mechanical properties were carried out for these rods. The FEM simulation of RSR process and calculation of Zener–Hollomon parameter (Z) were carried out with Software QFORM. The obtained rods have the gradient microstructure typical of RSR characterized by surface layer with ultrafine grain structure (UFG) and grain size from 0.3 to 5 µm. In the central part of rod, the fiber deformed structure with minimal fraction of recrystallized grains (< 5%) is formed. This combination is optimal for simultaneous achievement of high strength (UTS ~ 107–110 MPa; YS ~ 100–109 MPa; ~ 35–40 HV) and ductility (El ~ 15–30%). The most intensive growth of plastic properties is observed at rolling temperatures close to the temperature of the onset of recrystallization, it is associated with additional deformational heating of surface layers and the formation of partially recrystallized structure. The obtained distribution dependences of average size of dynamic recrystallized grain on Zener–Hollomon parameter showed that the decrease in parameter Z leads to the increase in size of recrystallized grain for RSR process.
