About this document

Enhancing ZnAl Alloy Wear Properties by Amar Jabar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses reinforcing a ZnAl25 alloy with Al3Ti particles to improve its surface wear properties. Adding Al3Ti particles from an AlTi12 master alloy results in the Al3Ti transforming within the ZnAl25 melt to a ternary Ti(Al,Zn)3 aluminide. Larger Ti(Al,Zn)3 particles act as structure reinforcement while smaller particles act as centers for heterogeneous nucleation, allowing an increase in hardness of about 20% and improved plastic properties.
