Implementation of 5083 Aluminum Material Due to Heat Treatment with Impact Testing System

Objective: This study investigates the effects of heat treatment on the properties of 5083 aluminum alloy, focusing on impact testing. Theoretical Framework: The process involves forming and cutting the aluminum material, followed by heating in a furnace. The samples are then cooled using different media: seawater, oil, and air. Method: Natural cooling treatments with seawater, lubricating oil, and air were employed in this research. Results and Discussion: The optimal conditions yielded the highest tensile strength and strain values, with results of 196.48 N/mm² and 6.91%, respectively, for samples cooled in seawater compared to oil. For impact strength, the greatest value was achieved using seawater as the cooling medium, measuring 0.42 J/mm². The highest flexural strength, recorded at 69.77 N/mm², was observed in samples cooled with oil. Research Implications: The findings indicate that natural cooling treatments significantly influence mechanical properties, with seawater providing superior impact strength, while oil cooling results in enhanced flexural strength. Originality/Value: This study reveals that the lowest values for impact and flexural strength occur in welding materials subjected to natural cooling. Conversely, the tensile strength and strain improve in welding materials subjected to controlled cooling, indicating increased hardness.
