Abstract:
For the purpose of the application for an on-tank valve, various Al alloy series were produced and tested, to which different contents of up to 0.3 wt% Sc and Zr were added. The hardening curves were plotted for different temperatures and correlated with the corresponding mechanical tests. The alloys were characterized by hardness measurements, tensile tests. By characterizing the materials, transferring them to simulation models and developing design guidelines, the foundations are laid for technology transfer to other applications of these materials. In order to produce these new materials, the Spray Forming process was used on the systems of the Gränges Powder Metallurgy company. This has the advantage that both the metal powder and the solid material for the forged part can be produced in one manufacturing step.
