accomplished not only below the equilibrium solvus temperature, but it’s below
meta-stable miscibility gap zone solvus line. In addition, the precipitation of
aluminum 6061-T6 precipitation happened since the heat was increasing, so then the
temperature increasing massively. Then it will be quenched rapidly into water or
some media of cooling. Thus, the rapid cooling makes a separation of θ-phase, so
then the alloy still exists at low temperature which under-unstable supersaturated
state. Therefore, there are some pitting in the sample that analyzed. According to
Eskin, the hardening precipitation in Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloying system where it’s the
composition of hardening phase in Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloys with contain 2.5%-4.5% of
Cu respect through the chemical composition of the supersaturated solid solution. In
addition, the volume fraction of the aluminum 6061-T6 is around 10.5%
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this experiment will determine the differences of precipitation
in each aluminum which from that precipitation, it can determine the hardness of
aluminum. Therefore, it also analyzing the aging for aluminum. Then analyzing the
microstructure for each different aluminum. Not only that, it also determines the
volume fraction of aluminum 6061-O and 6061-T6.
