Abstract
The mechanical properties of heat-treatable aluminium alloys are improved and adjusted by three different heat treatment steps, which include solution annealing, quenching, and aging. Due to metal-physical correlations, variations in heat treatment temperatures and times lead to different microstructural conditions with differences in the size and number of phases and their volume fraction in the microstructure. In this work, the investigations of the correlation between microhardness measurements on micro samples and the conventional mechanical properties (hardness, yield strength and tensile strength) of macro samples and the comparability of the different heat treatment states of micro and macro samples made of a hardenable aluminium alloy EN AW-6082 will be discussed. Using the correlations between the mechanical properties of micro samples and macro samples, the size of the samples and, thus, the testing cost and effort can be reduced.
