  1. 1. The effect of recycling and processing routes on recrystallization in a secondary 3xxx aluminium alloy

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

    Author : Anton Rolseth; [2023]
    Keywords : Aluminium alloys; sheet metal forming; grain boundary segregation; recrystallization; Zener pinning; casting; rolling;

    Abstract : Aluminium alloys have the possibility to be infinitely recycled. By only generating 5% of the emissions compared to primary aluminium, great CO2 savings can be made. One of the issues in manufacturing components entirely from post-consumer scrap is the presence of trace elements and impurities. Such elements can be Fe, Cu, Cr, P and Pb. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effect of Trace Elements on the Particle Size of Magnesium Silicide in Aluminium Extrusion : The Use of Thermo-Calc and DICTRA in order to Produce Aluminium more Efficiently

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Gustav Boustedt; Johan Alexander Valentin Nygren; Gustav Strandgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermo-Calc; DICTRA; simulations; EN AW 6082; extrusion; particle precipitation; Mg2Si; sustainable; trace elements; aluminium;

    Abstract : This project is a feasibility study for Hydro Extrusion Sweden AB, a company that produces extruded aluminium profiles. The main purpose of this project was to analyse the difference of Mg2Si particle sizes in aluminium alloys when varying parameters, such as cooling rate and composition, in aluminium extrusion, particularly the EN AW 6082 alloy.

  4. 3. Precipitation analysis in bearing steel Hybrid 60

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Rebecca Rosén; [2023]
    Keywords : martensitic steel; secondary hardening; precipitation; PRISMA; martensitiskt stål; sekundärhärdning; utskiljning; PRISMA;

    Abstract : New materials are always being developed to get the best properties possible where needed. The way to create these materials and test them is also developing. When it comes to high-strength steels, a martensitic microstructure is a common choice. READ MORE

  5. 4. Thermodynamic modelling of the copper-zinc-tin ternary system : A study towards lead-free brass

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Caterina Radogna; [2023]
    Keywords : Brass-based alloys; Lead-free brass; Calphad; Thermo-Calc; Thermodynamic description; Mässingsbaserade legeringar; Blyfri mässing; Calphad; Thermo-Calc; Termodynamisk beskrivning;

    Abstract : Lead (Pb) is frequently used as an alloying element in brass to enhance machinability and castability. However, this element poses a significant risk to human health and the environment. The 2021 revision of the Drinking Water Directive imposed stricter limits on Pb content in brass, encouraging the development of lead-free brass. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulation and Experimental Based Hardenability Evaluation of Chromium Alloyed Powder Metal Steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Atharva Kotasthane; [2023]
    Keywords : Hardenability; Martensite; Simulation Modelling; Microhardness; Microstructure; Härdbarhet; Martensit; Simuleringsmodellering; Mikrohårdhet; Mikrostruktur;

    Abstract : Powder metallurgy is a branch of metal forming technology where metal powders are used to manufacture parts and components. It is a flexible and economical technique for manufacturing complicated shapes. This present work focuses on press and sinter technology and forms a part of Höganäs’s efforts of modelling hardenability through quenching. READ MORE
