Microstructural and Mechanical Characteristics of Al-Si-Cu Die Casting Alloy for Engine Mount Bracket

“ Microstructural and mechanical properties of eutectic Al – Si alloy with grain refined and modified using gravity - die and sand casting ”

This paper attempts to investigate the influence of the microstructure and mechanical property changes on sand casting and permanent die casting alloys by grain refinement, modification combined action of both (Al– 3Ti–1B + Al–10Sr) and without grain refinement and modification effect. The microstructures of the castings are studied by optical microscopes. The microstructure and mechanical prop...

EFFECT OF REFINING PROCESS ON POROSITY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH PRESSURE AL-SI ALLOY DIE CASTINGS

Abstract: This study presents the research results of effect that refining process has on porosity and mechanical properties of high pressure die castings made of AlSi12S alloy. The operation of refining was carried out in a melting furnace with the use of an FDU Mini Degasser. Mechanical properties (UTS, YS, Elongation, Brinell Hardness) were assessed on samples taken from high pressure die ca...

Semisolid Processing of Al/β-SiC Composites by Mechanical Stirring Casting and High Pressure Die Casting

Improving of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-A356 Alloy with Compo-Casting Method

Aluminum/alumina composites are used in automotive and aerospace industries due to their low density and good mechanical strength. In this research, the effect of mechanical stirring of slurry in liquid-solid phase temperature and injection of alumina powder with inert gas (Ar) on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-A356 alloy is investigated. In order to improve of the wettability a...
