| Abstract Scope |
The work presents a study on alloys of the Al-Mg system (5-6 wt.%) strengthened with Al3Er particles. The introduction of Al3Er particles into the Al-Mg melt was carried out using master-alloys, a mechanical mixer. In addition, when casting into the chill mold, the melt was subjected to vibration treatment before solidification. The structure of the alloys obtained in the cast state of both initial (without particles) and containing particles was studied using metallography methods, i.e. optical and scanning electron microscopy. Analysis of the mechanical properties of the alloys under loading was carried out. Vickers microhardness and Brinell hardness were also studied. |
