Research Abstract

tThe current study was conducted to investigate the effect of age hardening on three differ-ent aluminum alloys: AA 6061, AA6013 and AA 5086. Different characterizing and testingtechniques were utilized in this study. The XRD results for 6xxx series demonstrated theMg2Si formation with different orientations after natural and artificial aging (NAT and AAT),while MgZn2phase was depicted in AA 5086 alloy. The friction coefficient of all naturallyaged Al alloys at room temperature (RT) was found to be higher than the friction coefficientof the artificially aged Al alloys at 175◦C. For group series 6xxx the corrosion resistance wasdecreased after the natural aging at RT, while the corrosion resistance was improved afterartificial age treatment at 175◦C for 30 min (AAT). The reduction in the friction coefficientand the growing in the corrosion resistance of the Al alloys after artificial age hardeningmake them potentially be used in many industrial sectors.
