IMPROVED DEFORMATION AND INCREASED HARDNESS IN AUTOMOTIVE ALLOY WITH THE ADDITION OF BISMUTH

This work developed a study on the modifications in aluminum alloy as such a development to apply to car body commercial of sedan vehicle, the results showed superior results in hardness, a integration of material in the alloy, a displacement on the peaks of profile obtained by X-Ray Diffraction and increased the displacement to be subjected the specimen to load in tensile test. Its knowledge can be used to develop of different news proposal of alloys in specific cases to use the capacity of deformation. The results showed values increased in the same direction than others works published in literature.
