Abstract

Aluminum silicon alloys are the most preferred alloys for industrial applications due to their ease of production and lightness. It is important to improve the mechanical properties of these materials in order to increase their usage. Wear properties are one of these mechanical properties that can be improved. In this present investigation, 3 different artificial aging durations; 2hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs aging at 200 °C were applied after solution heat treatment for 4 hrs. at 540 °C to the AlSi8Cu3Fe alloy. Microstructural analysis, mechanical tests were applied to understand the effect of aging parameters on wear performance and also hardness values of AlSi8Cu3Fe alloy. According to the results obtained from tests and analyzes, the highest wear resistance was reached on the 4 hrs. aged sample.
