EVOLUTION OF THE STRUCTURE OF SINTERED ALUMINUM BRONZE UNDER UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION

Abstract

The plastic behavior of sintered Cu – 15 (at.) Al and sintered Cu – 24 (at.) Al alloys under the compression test was investigated. It was established that the compression as a method of structure modifying can be carried to high degrees of deformation. The temperature raising reducesthe working pressure, but it has a weakly influence on the structure parameters of treated singlephase alloy, which transformation proceeds with a complex manner.
