In the automotive industry, mechanical grinding is employed at finishing line rectification to remove defects left over from upstream, which may also result in microstructure modification within near-surface region of work piece and, consequently, affects its corrosion performance. The present investigates influence on and behaviour Al–Si–Mg (A356) alloy castings order advance understanding pot...

Al-Mg alloys are normally prone to lose part of their yield and tensile strength at high temperatures due insufficient thermal stability the microstructure. Here, we present a Ca-modified Al–Mg–Sc alloy demonstrating elevated temperatures. The microstructure contains Al4Ca phases distributed as network along grain boundary Al3(Sc,Zr) nano-particles dispersed within grains. evolution age-hardeni...

The casting process and cooling rate determine the morphology of authentic silicon particles produced in aluminum alloys. slow alloy through Lost Foam Casting (LFC) method a result low mechanical properties. purpose this study was effect added Strontium (Sr) modifier to A356 on microstructure properties LFC method. Aluminum alloys are melted using crucible poured at temperature 730 oC surface p...
