Study of the effect of silver in the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of duralumins (al-4%cu-0.5%mg)

This study evaluated the effect of the silver content of Al-Cu based alloys on the microstructure, the tensile strength, the electrical resistance and the temperature increase with the passage of electric current (Joule effect). For that purpose, Al-4% Cu-0, 5% Mg alloys were tested with silver cont...
