Abstract

In order to increase the homogeneity, grain finishing and physic-mechanical characteristics of the AlMg4.5Mn0.7Cr0.15 (5083) alloy have been used in the development stage and treatment in the liquid phase: conventional solidified AlMg20 master alloy; solidified conventional and rapidly AlMn10, AlCr4 master alloys (which contains fusible heavy elements); solidified conventional and rapidly AlTi5B1 master alloy (for grain finishing). Rapid cooling performed on copper disk has allowed obtaining bands (splatters) with a thickness of 200...300 μm and about 1.5...3 mm wide. Solidification rate was estimated between 10-2...10-3C/s. The rapid cooling on copper disk of the master alloys ensured uniform dispersion leading to increased homogeneity and grain finishing alloy. Structural analyzes performed (SEI and X-ray diffraction), allowed to establish the main phases present in the master alloys and alloys solidified conventional and rapidly. The effect of rapid solidification was materialized in considerable improvement of the mechanical properties of alloy AlMg4.5Mn0.7Cr0.15 (5083)..
