The study of aluminum alloys (Al-Fe-Ni-Mg – Aluminum – Iron – Nickel - Magnesium) was carried out to develop high–density research reactor fuel cladding materials. Aluminum alloy as a fuel cladding undergoes a deformation process and heat treatment above the recrystallization temperature. Deformation and heat treatment will change in structure, microstructure, and mechanical properties. This study aims to determine aluminum alloy's phase structure, microstructure, and hardness after deformation and heat treatment. Phase structure analysis was carried out based on the X-ray diffraction pattern method. Observation of microstructural changes was carried out by metallographic-optical Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and elemental analysis of alloying phase compounds was carried out by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy – Scanning Electron Microscopy (EDS-SEM). The Vickers hardness tester tested the hardness properties of the material. The analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns showed a tendency to form a and q (Fe-Al3) phases in the alloy. The metallographic-optical observations showed that the microstructure changed with an increasing heating time of 3 hours. The microstructure tends to form an enlarged equiaxial grain structure with a long heating time. The results of testing the hardness properties of the Al-Fe-Ni-Mg alloy showed an increase of around 163 HV after undergoing the deformation process and heating treatment at 500 oC to 3 hours of heating time decreased around 86 HV. The changes in hardness properties of the Al-Fe-Ni-Mg alloy appear to align with changes in the microstructure. The deformation process and heat treatment impact the mechanical characteristics and microstructure of Al-Fe-Ni-Mg.
