Mechanical properties and structure of the aluminum alloy after heat treatment
Roleček, Jakub ; Julišová, Martina (referee) ; Juliš, Martin (advisor)
The presented bachelor´s thesis deals with the influence of heat treatment especially artificial aging on mechanical and structural properties of AlSi7Mg0.6 alloy. Cylindrical test bars of diameter 6 mm and 9 mm cast into a self-supporting ceramic shell made by plaster investment technology were used as experimental samples. These test bars were cast by Alucast whereas the patented technology of casting- JF casting was used. On the test bars was carried out the T6 heat treatment according to the Standards AMS 2771C. After the solution annealing were test bars divided to the six groups and put through various time of artificial aging, namely from 2 to the 12 hours. In order to evaluate the effect of the time of artificial aging on the structure and mechanical properties of both diameters of the test bars, the method of light microscopy, Brinell hardness test and static traction test were used. Also SDAS quantification was carried out by means of image analysis. On the grounds results of experiments it is possible to state, that the best values of mechanical properties of both diameters of the cylindrical test bars were reached after 10 hours of artificial aging.

Optimisation of heat treatment of aluminium alloy AlSi7Mg0,6
Julišová, Martina ; Klakurková, Lenka (referee) ; Juliš, Martin (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with various types of quenching and their respective effects on mechanical and structural properties of AlSi7Mg0.6 alloy castings. Cast with precision casting technology into a self-supporting ceramic shell made by plaster investment technology, flat test bars cast by Alucast were used as experimental samples. Sample castings were used in both cast state and after T6 heat treatment. Air-flow and air-water combination with varying water passage (spraying) were used as the quenching media in the quenching process of the castings. In order to evaluate the effect of five different quenching processes on the structure and mechanical properties of the castings, the method of light microscopy, Brinell hardness test and static traction test were used. Evaluation and porosity and SDAS quantifications were carried out by means of image analysis. Experiments did not prove right the hypothesis holding that low SDAS values inevitably mean higher mechanical properties of the castings. On the other hand, distinct is the negative influence of heterogeneous structure and porosity. Despite the fact that the heat treatment was successful in reducing the influence of structural inhomogeneities, it cannot be concluded that spray quenching has an utterly positive bearing on the mechanical and structural properties of the castings.
