Thermodynamic substantiation of compositions of silicon aluminium alloys with increased aluminium content in Fe-Si-Al system

Creep of Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys

This chapter constitutes an introduction to creep and to the creep response of Aluminium and its alloys. Its major goals are: to provide basic information on creep and its mechanisms to give a description of the more extensively used mathematical relations among creep variables (time, stress and temperature) to illustrate the creep response of pure Aluminium and of Al-Mg alloys to provide a syn...

Silicon particle pinhole defects in aluminium–silicon alloys

It was recently shown that silicon particles in heat-treated Al–Si casting alloys can contain flaws such as surface pinholes and grooves, which cause varying degrees of reduction in the in situ particle fracture strength and hence influence the mechanical properties of this class of alloys. In this work, we show that the formation of one class of such strength-limiting flaws in solidified and c...

Metallography of Aluminium alloys

This lecture aims at providing a survey of the metallographic techniques available for the examination of aluminium and its alloys. The information must be sufficient to be sure that the students and the users are able to choose the most suitable technique to solve their problems in the examination of samples. The lecture should contain a direct understanding of the main problems in the metallo...

Additive Manufacturing of Al Alloys and Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs)

CALCULATION OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF Al-Fe, Al-Ni AND Ni-Fe ALLOYS USING FACTSAGE

Thermodynamic predicting analysis of three binary systems Al-Fe, Al-Ni and Ni-Fe are shown in this paper. Thermodynamic analysis involved calculation of activities, coefficient of activities, partial and integral values for enthalpies and Gibbs energies of mixing and excess energies at three different temperatures: 1873K, 1900K and 1973K, as well as calculated phase diagrams, for the investigat...
