The effect of reheating to the semisolid state (soaking treatment) on the microstructure evolution of the A356 aluminum alloy prepared by ultrasonic melt treatment was studied in this paper. The results showed that in general the longer the soaking process the larger and the more round the grains obtained. Higher roundness occurs at shorter soaking times in the fine-grained ascast samples, and ...

The influences of age hardening and HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) on the mechanical properties of A356 (Al 7Si 0.6 Mg) casting alloys were studied. Cast bars were homogenized, heated and maintained at a temperature of 540°C for a duration of 2 hours, followed by rapid cooling in a polymeric solution. The castings were age hardened at 180°C for a duration of 4 hours before being subjected to HIP ...

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...

High performance, cast aluminum automotive wheels are increasingly being incrementally formed via flow forming/metal spinning at elevated temperatures to improve material properties. With a wide array of processing parameters which can affect both the shape attained and resulting material properties, this type of processing is notoriously difficult to commission. A simplified, light-duty versio...

غلاف سوخت‌های هسته‌ای یکی از مهم‌ترین اجزا رآکتور محسوب می‌شود. این غلاف‌ها آلیاژ زیرکونیم ساخته می‌شوند؛ اما خواص ترمومکانیکی چندان مناسبی ندارند؛ لذا در پژوهش سعی شده با تغییر مواد به‌کاررفته NuScale به یک نوترونیکی و مناسب دست پیدا شود. قلب موجب ضریب تکثیر مؤثر طول بازه سوخت‌گذاری می‌گردد. شبیه‌سازی که M5 بهره می‌برد به‌عنوان معیار هم‌­چنین همراه سه نوع دیگر آلیاژهای رایج دو آن FeCrAl است، د...
