Résumé

The present work was performed on three versions of a newly developed alloy coded T200 containing 6.5% Cu, 0.1% Fe, 0.45% Mg, and 0.18% Zr in addition to A319 and A356 alloys (grain refined and Sr-modified). Tensile bars were subjected to 13 different heat treatments prior to testing at either 25 °C or 250 °C. The tensile data were analyzed using the quality index method. The results obtained showed that, due to the high copper content in the T200 alloy coupled with proper grain refining, the alloy possesses the highest quality as well as improved resistance to softening when tested at 250 °C among the five alloys. The results also demonstrate the best heat treatment condition to maximize the use of the T200 alloy for automotive applications. Grain-refined alloy B, treated in the T6 temper and tested at 250 °C, exhibited the best combination of the four tensile parameters, i.e., UTS, YS, %El, and Q-values: 308 MPa, 304 MPa, 2.3%, and 352 MPa, respectively, which are comparable with those obtained from the 356 alloy: 309 MPa, 305 MPa, 2.8%, and 375 MPa in the same order.
