Determination of the properties of AlCu4,5Mg3 alloy obtained in the continuous casting line
Abstract
The presented research work covered both metallurgical synthesis of the AlCu4,5Mg3 and the continuous casting process of casts rods with a diameter of 14 mm. The obtained cast rods were further subjected to the chemical composition tests in order to determine the homogeneity and distribution of the alloy additives. Additionally the materials were tested not only in terms of their mechanical properties in the Vickers hardness test but also in terms of their structure using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
