The function of the compressor wheel in a turbocharger is to compress the air drawn by the turbine. During this process the wheel reaches temperatures up to 230°C. Aluminium alloys have been developed to withstand both the elevated temperatures and the cyclic loading that the wheel experiences during its working life. The 2618-T6 aluminium alloy is used due to its good combination of price, mechanical properties and suitability at temperatures up to 300°C. However, the manufacturer found during inspections of catastrophic failed wheels a considerable contribution of "intergranular" fracture (fracture along grain boundaries).EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
