Abstract

Effects of Ag addition to 2090 and CP 276 Al-Li alloy systems on the microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated. The addition of silver up to 0.16wt.% reduced the grain size of the alloys, and was responsible for the formation of finer and more uniform $\delta$'($AI_{3}Li$) and $T_{1}(AI_{2}CuLi$) precipitates in 2090 alloys, even though no variation of precipitates was found in CP 276 alloys. The addition of 0.16wt.% Ag improved the tensile strength of 2090 alloys about 40MPa with the expense of small reduction of percent elongation. However, the small addition of Ag to CP 276 containing Mg did not show any variation of tensile strength and elongation. The aging treatment of these alloys at $150^{\circ}C$ for 70 or 90 hours, depending on alloy systems, showed peak hardness value of about 92 $H_rB$.

AI-Si계합금인 2090과 CP 276합금에 Ag(0-0.16wt.%)을 첨가하여 조직 및 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Ag첨가는 결정립크기를 작게하였으며, $\delta$'($AI_{3}Li$)과 $T_{1}(AI_{2}CuLi$)석출상은 2090합금에서 미세하고 균일하게 형성되었으나 CP 276 합금에서는 변화를 보이지 않았다. Ag이 0.16wt.%함유된 2090합금의 경우 인장강도값은 약 40MPa 향상되었으며 연신율은 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. MG이 함유된 CP 276합금에서는 미량으로 첨가된 Ag에 의한 강도 및 연신율의 변화가 나타나지 않았다. $150^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리하였을 경우에 합금에 따라 70또는 90시간에서 최대 경도값 92 $H_rB$를 나타내었다.
