Formation kinetics and phase stability of in-situ Al3Ti particles in aluminium casting alloys with varying Si content

Continuous Roll Casting of Aluminium Alloys– Casting Parameters Analysis

The continuous roll casting process (CRC), consisting of continuous strip casting between rolls, is now well known. It was introduced by the SCAL Company (Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann Group) 60 years ago 1 . The process consists of solidifying aluminum or aluminum alloys between the water-cooled rolls of a duo rolling mill. From the moment when solidification is completed to the moment when the stri...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Macrosegregation in direct-chill casting of aluminium alloys

Modelling of Precipitation Hardening in Casting Aluminium Alloys

Precipitation hardening, because it involves the hardening of the material over a prolonged time, is also called age hardening, or ageing. By the appropriate heat treatment of precipitation hardening, the strength or hardness of some heat-treatable aluminium alloys can be enhanced by the formation of nano-meter sized second-phase precipitated particles within the original phase matrix. The fine...

Study of the Mechanism and Causes of Pore Formation in Sr-modified Al-Si Alloys

The formation of microporosity in modified Al-Si alloys has been reviewed in the present study. A major concern in modification is the increased tendency to form microporosity in the macro-shrinkage free Al-Si alloy castings. It has also been demonstrated that at low hydrogen contents (0.1cc/ 100g, Al), where only shrinkage porosity should occur, the effect of Sr-modification on porosity conten...
