CHANGE OF INTERNAL FRICTION ON ALUMINIUM ALLOY EN AC 51200 DEPENDING ON TEMPERATURE

The article is focused on the analysis of changes in the dependence on temperature on the aluminium alloy EN AC 51200 (10,1% Mg, 1,32% Si and 0,43% Mn) by internal friction. Internal friction is a property of the material measured on the ultrasonic resonant apparatus at a frequency of about f = 20470 Hz. The measured temperature range was from 50 °C up to 420 °C. The precise measurement of the internal friction can be monitored on an ongoing process by structural changes and various mechanisms that prevent these changes.
