Abstract: | The effect of aluminium on the equilibrium phases of the Cu-Zn alloys has been studied within the range of chemical compositions
of interest to brass producers. Ternary alloys were cast by melting two Cu-Zn base alloys (with ∼59.5% and ∼61.2 wt.% Cu)
followed by the addition of aluminium up to 3.68 wt.%. Isothermal homogenization, followed by rapid cooling, has been used
to determine the equilibrium phases at different temperatures. The alloys have been observed by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and the respective chemical analysis determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Statistical analysis of the
results enables a correlation of the chemical compositions of the equilibrium phases with temperature within composition range
of the study. |
