Abstract
Aluminum A319 Alloy under applied pressure ( 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 , 30 ) MPa, and pouring temperature at 850
were produced, while the pre-heating die temperature at 300
.
Effect of both fast isothermal and solution (T6) heat treatments were studied, on A319 alloy, which includes: Hardness, Density and Microstructure. Results show an important role of these treatments especially isothermal on the microstructure and morphological phases, as well as, improve the mechanical properties of the alloy, by the increasing of both hardness and density.
