{"title":"Effect of Temperature and Frequency on the Viscoelastic Behavior of\u0000 Commercial 6082 (Al–Mg–Si) Alloy","authors":"J. I. Rojas, Alejandro Contel, Daniel Crespo","doi":"10.4271/05-17-04-0028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4271/05-17-04-0028","url":null,"abstract":"The viscoelastic response of pure Al and commercial 6082 and 6082-T6 (Al–Mg–Si)\u0000 alloys is measured with dynamic–mechanical analyzer as a function of temperature\u0000 (ranging from 35 to 425°C) and loading frequency (ranging from 0.01 to 100 Hz).\u0000 The measured data (the storage modulus, loss modulus, and mechanical damping)\u0000 are compared to available transmission electron microscopy and differential\u0000 scanning calorimetry data, to ascertain whether unexplained variations of the\u0000 viscoelastic behavior of the alloys can be correlated to phase transformations.\u0000 The results suggest that some of these variations may be controlled by the\u0000 formation and dissolution of metastable phases, such as Guinier–Preston (GP)\u0000 zones and phases β″, β′, and B′. Indeed, GP zones and phase β″ have been\u0000 reported to control other mechanical properties. However, due to the high\u0000 complexity of the aging path of Al–Mg–Si alloys, with formation and dissolution\u0000 reactions of many precipitate types overlapping along wide temperature\u0000 intervals, further research is necessary to establish unequivocally the\u0000 contribution of each individual phase transformation to the overall viscoelastic\u0000 behavior. Finally, an internal friction peak related to grain boundary sliding\u0000 is significantly smaller in the alloys compared to pure Al, probably because the\u0000 precipitates pin the grain boundaries.","PeriodicalId":45859,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
