Nanoreinforced Cast Al-Si Alloys with Al2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 Nanoparticles

Creep Behavior of Al-Si Die-Cast Alloys

Commercial, aluminum die-cast alloys are subject to long-term stresses leading to viscoelastic material responses resulting in inefficient engine operation and failure. Constant load creep tests were conducted on aluminum die-casting alloys: B-390, eutectic Al-Si and a 17% Si-Al alloys. Rupture occurred in the primary creep regime, with the eutectic alloy having the longest times to failure. Pr...

THERMAL FATIGUE RESISTANCES OF 356 AND 413 CAST Al ALLOYS

Abstract: Thermal fatigue is a stochastic process often showing considerable scatter even in controlled environments. Due to complexity of thermal fatigue, there is no a complete analytical solution for predicting the effect of this property on the life of various components, subjected to severe thermal fluctuations. Among these components, one can mention car cylinder, cylinder head and pi...

Fluidized Bed Heat Treatment of Cast Al-Si-Cu-Mg Alloys

The effects of fluidized bed heat treatment on the microstructural and mechanical properties of Al-Si-Cu-Mg cast alloys, namely,3 54 and 319, were studied. The heating rate in fluidized beds (FBs) is greater vis-a`-vis conventional electrical resistancef urnaces (CFs). The high heating ratei nF Bs increases the kinetics of metallurgical phenomena such as Si fragmentation and spherodization duri...

Precipitation Hardening of Al–Si–Mg Alloys

تشکیل فاز مولایت در فرایند اکسید شدن سیستم‌های Al2O3+Si، Al+Si و SiO2+Al

در این مقاله، اثر ترکیب مواد اولیه بر ویژگی?های فازی و ریزساختاری بدنه?های مولایتی بررسی شده است. سه سیستم SiO2+Al, Al2O3+Si و Al+Si با فرض اکسید شدن کامل عناصر Al و Si انتخاب شدند. مواد اولیه در محیط الکل اتیلیک توسط همزن مغناطیسی، مخلوط و پس از سپس خشک شدن، و گرانول? سازی شده و در گستره دمایی�C1600-700 حرارت دیدند. نتایج نشان می?دهد که در سیستم Al2O3+Si پس از دمای �C1450 فاز مولایت تشکیل می?ش...
