Creep Behavior of Al-Si Die-Cast Alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Primary creep was modeled by J~t!5A1Bt with A, B, and n dependent on stress. Poor creep performance is linked to the brittle fracture of the primary silicon phase as well as other casting defects. @DOI: 10.1115/1.1789953#

Localized Recrystallization in Cast Al-Si-Mg Alloy During Solution Heat Treatment: Dilatometric and Calorimetric Studies
During heat treatment, the work piece experiences a range of heating rates depending upon the sizes and types of furnace. When the Al-Si-Mg cast alloy is heated to the solutionizing temperature , recrystallization takes place during the ramp-up stage. The effect of heating rate on recrystallization in the A356 (Al-Si-Mg) alloy was studied using dilatometric and calorimetric methods. Recrystalli...

This article reports the effects of various artificial aging methods and lubrication modes (dry, mist, wet) on the recorded cutting forces and chip morphology in drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) cast alloys. In the course of this work, the work part sampled were as-received alloy (T0), solution heat-treated alloy (SHT) and then aged alloys at 155°C, 180°C, and 220°C (T4, T6, T61, T7), respectively. The...

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...
متن کاملCreep resistance of cast and aged Al–0.1Zr and Al–0.1Zr–0.1Ti (at.%) alloys at 300–400 C
Cast and aged Al–0.1Zr and Al–0.1Zr–0.1Ti (at.%) alloys, upon compressive creep deformation at 300–400 C, exhibit threshold stresses attributable to climb-controlled bypass of coherent Al3Zr and Al3(Zr1 xTix) precipitates. Al–0.1Zr–0.1Ti exhibits a smaller threshold stress than Al–0.1Zr, which is attributed principally to a reduced lattice parameter mismatch between the Al3(Zr1 xTix) precipitat...
متن کاملOpen Archive Toulouse Archive Ouverte (oatao) Relationship between Casting Modulus and Grain Size in Cast A356 Aluminium Alloys
Microstructure of Al-Si alloy castings depends most generally on melt preparation and on the cooling rate imposed by the thermal modulus of the component. In the case of Al-Si alloys, emphasis is put during melt preparation on refinement of pro-eutectic (Al) grains and on modification of the Al-Si eutectic. Thermal analysis has been used since long to check melt preparation before casting, i.e....
