TY - CONF A1 - Rockenhäuser, Christian A1 - Skrotzki, Birgit T1 - Microstructure evolution in a 2618A aluminium alloy during ageing T2 - MC 2015 - Microscopy conference (Proceedings) N2 - The aluminium alloy 2618A is an Al-Cu-Mg alloy which is part of the 2xxx series of age-hardenable alloys. These materials are designed for long-term Operation in transportation and aerospace industries. The desired properties, e.g. creep behavior, hardness, and damage tolerance, are controlled by the distribution of fine precipitates formed within the matrix. However, the strength of the material declines du ring exposition to elevated temperatures due to the overageing of the S-phase precipitates (AI2CuMg) and the conversion of the S-phase into the stable equilibrium S-phase. A quantitative model of the overageing process at application relevant temperatures would be desirable for accurate predictions of component lifetime made from the 2618A alloy.
