Futhermore, a few works discuss about this properties in underaged and overaged conditions, mainly about fracture toughness. Recently, some researches showed that some aluminum alloys in underaged conditions may indicate the self healing phenomenon, in other words, when streched mechanically, the material could present a closure, or a reduction in crack growth ratio due local compressive stress associated to dynamic precipitation. In this context, its valued the relationship between fracture toughness, mechanical properties and heat treatment in two aluminum alloys (2024-T351 e 7075-T651) when submitted to solubilization (480 ∘C for 2,5h) and artificial aging (145 ∘C for 8h, 10h, 12h, 16h and 24h for 2024-S1 named first set and 7075; and 190 ∘C for 1h, 3h, 5h, 8h and 12h for 2024-S2, second set), obtaining underaged, peak hardness and overaged conditions. The samples were featured using fracture toughness tests with a chevron notch, K𝐼𝐶𝑉 (ASTM E1304); tensile tests (ASTM E8/E8M) and Vickers hardness (ASTM E 384). In structural aspects, this alloys were featured using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in microstructural aspects, using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The micromechanisms of fracture surface on chevron samples are showed using SEM. After results, hardness and ultimate tensile stress showed maximum values between 3h and 5h (2024-S2) and approximately 10h and 12h (7075). About 2024-S2 alloy, it is showed the phenomenon of dynamic precipitation in delivery state, underaged and peak aged samples, due little peaks on stress-strain curves. However, in 2024 first and second sets, all results cannot be valid because the samples showed a significant change in fracture mode presenting a mix of mode I + mode II, futhermore, thickness B is not sufficient for attend ASTM E 1304. The 7075 aluminum alloy presented a distinguished behavior, showing independence in properties like fracture toughness and hadness mainly in overaged conditions, because as the hardness value increase in this condition, fracture toughness increased also. Besides that, K𝐼𝐶𝑉 values showed no much variation besides the different times of aging, despite this values are much high than delivery state condition. About micromechanisms of fracture, all conditions presented dimples, and cleavage fracture associated to coarse precipitates.Acesso AbertoLigas de alumínioTratamentos de envelhecimentoComportamento mecânicoTenacidade à fraturaComportamento mecânico e tenacidade à fratura de ligas de alumínio 2024 e 7075 submetidas a diferentes tempos de envelhecimentomasterThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA DE MATERIAIS E METALURGICA
