Applications of Isostatic Processing Technology in the Field of Duralumin Alloys

Abstract

Among of aluminium alloys, the development of the range of duralumin alloys is determined by the fact that alloying is enlarging the possibilities of precipitation hardening. The paper presents the influence of heat treatment applied to pieces made from duralumin alloys, before and after isostatic compaction. The particularities of the final heat treatment, applied to the test, to pieces from duralumin alloys - obtained through plastic deformation - especially through extrusion, are determined by the characteristics of the plastic deformation structure.
