RESUMO

The effect of Ni 1-2 wt.% addition on the microstructure and hardness of the aged A319 alloy were studied. Characterization analyses by x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy suggest clearly that Ni addition forms Al-Ni-Cu-Fe, Al-Cu-Ni and Al-Ni intermetallic compounds that correlates well with equilibria conditions. Analyses by transmission electron microscopy show that aging heat treatment promotes microstructural changes in morphology, size, and spatial distribution of precipitates. Vickers micro-hardness test of Ni 1 and 2 wt.% specimens have a hardness increase from that of A319 alloy of ~6-8% with mean values of 140.98 and 142.93 HV, respectively.
