Abstract

In this study, the effect of aging heat treatment on the hardness of AA 2024 and AA 6063 aluminum alloys was investigated by experimental and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). AA 2024 and AA 6063 aluminum alloys were solution treated at two different temperatures of 490° C and 520° C. Then both samples were cooled to room temperature. After this process, the samples were aged at three different temperatures (140° C, 180° C, 220° C) for ten different periods of time (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 h.). The experimental results were trained in an ANNs program, and the results were compared with experimental values. It is observed that the experimental results coincided with the ANNs results.

Kurzfassung

In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurde der Effekt des Aushärtens auf die Härte der Aluminiumlegierungen 2024 und 6063 experimentell und mittels neuronaler Netze untersucht. Hierzu wurden die Aluminiumlegierungen zunächst bei zwei verschiedenen Temperaturen (490° C und 520° C) lösungsgeglüht. Danach wurden die Proben auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt und anschließend bei drei verschiedenen Temperaturen (140° C, 180° C und 220° C) über zehn verschiedene Zeiträume (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 und 20 h) gealtert. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse wurden in ein ANN-Programm eingegeben und die Ergebnisse daraus mit entsprechenden experimentellen Resultaten verglichen. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass die experimentellen und rechnerischen Ergebnisse übereinstimmten.
