| Abstract Scope |
The commercial CuCrZr (UNS number C18150) alloy is a precipitation hardenable alloy used in several applications, such as space, nuclear, automotive, electrical, and various other commercial industries. The systematic data for the solution annealing temperatures effect on grain size and resulting mechanical properties is very meager in the hot-forged condition. Wrought CuCrZr specimens were subjected to solution annealing at five different temperatures ranging from 927°C to 1038°C to observe the difference in the grain size between the as forged and after solution annealing. Grain size was measured in the as-forged and post solution treated condition. The solution treated coupons were subjected to a standard precipitation hardening treatment. Room temperature tensile properties were evaluated in both the solution annealed and solution annealed and aged conditions. It was determined that within the range of the grain sizes studied, grain size had little impact on the mechanical properties of the material. |
