Investigation of the manufacturing processes type and post processing effects on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of eco-friendly brass alloys

Abstract

Pirinç malzemeler, yaygın Çinko elementi ile bakır alaşımları alt gruplarında sınıflandırılır. Bu malzemeler, dayanım, şekillendirilebilirlik ve korozyon direnci gibi üstün özellikleri nedeniyle içme suyu sistemlerinden otomotive kadar çok çeşitli endüstriyel uygulamalarda kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, çevre dostu pirinç alaşımının mekanik ve metalografik özellikleri üzerindeki akıllı ve popüler üretim süreçlerinin etkilerini karakterize etmeyi ve analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda ekstrüde, ekstrüde+tavlama, dövme ve dövme+tavlama eko-pirinç CuZn40Pb2, CuZn38AS, CuZn21Si3P numuneler üzerinde mikroyapısal, mikro sertlik, çekme ve darbe charpy testleri yapılmıştır. Deneysel sonuçlar, üretim proses tipinin malzemelerin mekanik ve metalografik özelliklerini son derece etkilediğini göstermiştir.
