    Aluminium and their alloys are widely used as construction materials from house hold appliances to air-craft parts. The commercially pure aluminium has merely low corrosion resistance and hardness compare to aluminium alloy. In this study an attempt has been made to study the influence of heat treatment on the properties of commercially pure aluminium. The investigation was consisted of identification of commercial aluminium through colour identification in chemical test and its subsequent heat treatment. The experimental parameters were heating temperature, cooling rate and quenching medium. The prepared specimen were heated at 300, 500 and 600 °C and then subsequently cooled either in open air, slowly in the furnace or quenched in furnace oil. Hardness of the heat treated and without heat treated specimen was measured in the Rockwell Scale. Corrosion resistance of the sample was evaluated in 3.5 % sodium chloride solution by weight loss method. It was found that specimen heat-treated at 500 °C showed higher hardness and corrosion resistance compare to that heat-treated at 300°C and 600 °C. Oil quenching specimen provided maximum hardness and corrosion resistance compare to slow furnace cooling and air cooling. So, it is said that hardness and corrosion resistance of commercially pure aluminium (99 % pure) could be improved through heat treatment at 500 °C and subsequent quenching in oil.…

    In general 7000 aluminium alloys have a complex microstructure, which typically consists of coarse intermetallic (IM) particles with sizes in the range of 1 to 20 μm which break easily, intermediate Cr-, Mn- or Zr- rich dispersoids having 0.05- to 0.5- μm average size, relatively coarse quench-induced precipitates and fine strengthening precipitates being smaller than 0.02 μm that strengthen the matrix. The microstructural heterogenities mainly associated with the existence of differently sized second-phase particles plays very important role in triggering the fracture process and then in determining the fracture toughness level[1,8]. These heterogeneities can contribute both to the localisation of plastic flow, and to the initiation and propagation of failure. The toughness in aluminium alloys can be equated with the resistance to crack extension by the ductile or fibrous mode, and this involves the growth and linking-up of voids nucleated by the cracking or decohesion of second phase particles[3]. Consequently the important metallurgical factors are connected with : 1) the distribution of the particles that crack, 2) the resistance of the particles and their interfaces to cleavage and decohesion, 3) the local strain concentrations which…
