Abstract
In this research, supersolidus liquid-phase sintering of aluminum alloy 2024 in pre-alloyed condition was investigated. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were carried in nitrogen and vacuum atmospheres. The densification process was improved within the nitrogen atmosphere due to the formation of aluminum nitride (AlN). The maximum density was achieved at 610 ºC in nitrogen atmosphere. This process led to produce samples with a relative density of 98.8%. The relative densities after sintering increased to the maximum value of 99.3% with the addition of 0.1 wt.% Sn. The results showed 5.2 and 4.4% increase in the hardness and bending strength, respectively, with the addition of 0.1 wt.% Sn.
