Structure and properties of water-atomized aluminum powder alloy

  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

The production of powder alloy AD33 containing additional 1% Fe is examined. The structurization and properties of the powders and alloys formed under high-pressure water atomization are analyzed. There is a complex dependence of the particle size and nature of oxide films on their surface on the melt temperature, which has to be no more than 900°C. The strength of the powder alloy compacted under different conditions increases by 60–70% as compared with the conventional alloy (without iron) and corresponds to the strength of high-alloy aluminum alloys.
