The impact of the thickness of transition intermetallic CuAl₂ area on the hardness of Al―Cu system material

Abstract

The peculiarities of phase and structure formation in Al―Cu system material in the conditions of spark plasma sintering are considered. The impact of the thickness of transition intermetallic CuAl₂ area on the hardness of obtained material is studied. Obtained results can be used for obtainment of tribotechnical materials with increased electric conductivity.
