The Effect of Nickel on Mechanical Properties of Aluminum-Copper Alloy Treated by Artificial Aging


Abstract in English

In this research the effect of Nickel addition by various percentages on the mechanical properties of Aluminum-Copper alloy was studied. After adding Nickel the alloys was artificially aged for different times, and the effect of Nickel on the response of alloy to precipitation hardening was studied. Where the effect of Nickel on the microscope structure was studied, and on the mechanical properties as hardness, tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. The results showed that the increase of Nickel improve this properties, where the highest values were obtained when the Nickel's percentage was 5% Wt.
