Conclusions
The method of alloying with copper and magnesium has a strong effect on compacting in sintering and on the physicomechanical characteristics of Al-4.4% Cu-0.5% Mg alloy.
The alloy based on Al-0.5% Mg master alloy is characterized by the highest density but its sintering requires higher temperatures (615–635°C) and long holding times. This alloy produced in the optimum conditions is characterized by high physicomechanical properties in the sintered state but by low efficiency of heat treatment. The optimum physicomechanical properties were recorded for the alloy containing the elementary powders of copper and magnesium which was sintered at 595°C for 45 min.
