The specification of an aluminum alloy for a cast component is based upon the mechanical properties it can achieve. For the designer and purchaser, it is vital to understand that the properties obtained from one particular combination of casting alloy, foundry practice and thermal treatment may not be identical to those achieved with the same alloy in a different foundry or with a different the...

Abstract Ni-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys were cast as ingots using vacuum arc remelting furnace. The microstructure of as-cast alloy consists NiTi matrix well Ti 2 Ni dendrites. As-cast revealed a structure composed equiaxed ? grains varied ?-phase morphologies. registered maximum ultimate compressive strength 2042 MPa, also reported large reduction in height (18%). However, showed minimum 1804 MPa ...
