Abstract


The sintering behaviour of two aluminium alloys, Alumix 321 and 6061, was studied in this paper. Both have a similar Mg, Cu and Si contents, but have been obtained by different methods. The Alumix 321 alloy is produced by mixing the initial elements as powders and the 6061 is obtained by water atomization. The work carried out includes the study of the green properties, the determination of the compressibility and green strength curves as well as the microstructural characterization of the powders. Thermal analyses (DTAs and Dilatometries) were performed in order to study the behaviour of both alloys with temperature. Furthermore, different sintering temperatures were studied by characterizing the mechanical properties of the sintered materials. It can be concluded that the 6061 alloy has better properties than the Alumix 321, when both were sintered at 600 °C.
