Effect of pressure on microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-Cu-based alloy prepared by squeeze casting

A new high-strength aluminum alloy with better fluidity than that of ZL205A was developed. The effect of applied pressure during squeeze casting on microstructures and properties of the alloy was studied. The results show that the fluidity of the alloy is 16% and 21% higher than that of ZL205A at the pouring temperature of 993 K and 1 013 K, respectively. Compared with permanent-mold casting, mechanical properties of the alloy prepared by squeeze casting are much higher. The tensile strength and elongation of the alloy are 520 MPa and 7.9% in squeeze casting under an applied pressure of 75 MPa, followed by solution treatment at 763 K for 1 h and at 773 K for 8 h, quenching in water at normal temperature and aging at 463 K for 5 h. The improvement of mechanical properties is attributed to the remarkable decreasing of the secondary dendrite arm spacing(SDAS) and eliminating of micro-porosity in the alloy caused by applied pressure.

Effects of silicon,magnesium and strontium content on the qualities of Al-Si-Mg alloys

According to the specification of AA standard, the magnesium content of 356.1 alloy ranges from 0.25 to 0.45%. In producing Al-Si-Mg alloy the strontium content for the modified 356 (Al-7%Mg) alloy might range from 0.005 to 0.02%. Therefore, 356 alloys might be produced with different percentages of Mg and/or Sr. The effects of changes in Si content (from 6.6% to 10.8% in gravity casting and 6.5% to 10.3% in squeeze casting), Mg content (from 0.36% to 0.48% in gravity casting and 0.3% to 0.44% in squeeze casting), and Sr content (from 0.0007% to 0.0158% in gravity casting and 0.0015% to 0.04% in squeeze casting) on the microstructures, density, mechanical properties and strength of different Al-Si-Mg alloys were fully investigated and discussed. Different melts were poured in the ASTM B108 permanent mould and dies in a vertical squeeze machine to produce bar castings. These bar castings were then machined and the mechanical properties tested. Experimental results showed that if a high strength and a high elongation were desired in a squeeze casting after T6 treatment, an increase in Si and Sr content to 9.9% and 0.019% (Mg at 0.3%) would lead to 280 MPa strength, 12% elongation and Weibull modulus of 34 in reliability of strength. If both strength and reliability were desired in a squeeze casting after T6 treatment, an increase in Si content to 10.3% (Sr at 0.0015% and Mg at 0.3%) would result in 294 MPa strength, 8.7% elongation and a great Weibull modulus of 67. In gravity casting, after T6 treatment, increasing Si content to 10.4–10.55% and Sr content in the range of 0.0007–0.0208% and 0.35% Mg could develop 282–284 MPa strength at about 6.6% elongation with Weibull modulus of around 31. In Al-7Si-Mg alloy, increasing Mg content from 0.26% to 0.48% decreased the tested elongations of both as-cast and heat treated squeeze castings and gravity castings.     

Microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of rheoformed wrought aluminum alloy 2024

The microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of 2024 wrought aluminum alloy produced by a new rheoforming technique under as-cast and optimized heat treatment conditions were investigated. The present rheoforming combined the independently developed rheocasting process, named as LSPSF (low superheat pouring with a shear field) process, and the existing squeeze casting process. The experimental results show that LSPSF can be used to prepare sound semi-solid slurry within 25s to fully meet the production rate of squeeze casting. The primary α (Al) presents in mean equivalent diameter of 69μm and shape factor of 0.76, and features zero-entrapped eutectics. Compared with conventional squeeze casting, the present LSPSF rheoforming can improve the microstructures and mechanical properties. An optimized heat treatment results in substantial reduction of microsegregation and significant improvement of mechanical properties, such as yield strength of 321MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 428MPa and elongation of 12%.

The indirect ultrasonic vibration process for rheo-squeeze casting of A356 aluminum alloy

The semisolid slurry of A356 Al alloy was prepared by indirect ultrasonic vibration (IUV) method and then formed by direct squeeze casting (SC). The effects of squeeze pressure and T6 heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of rheo-squeeze casting (RSC) A356 Al alloy were investigated. The results indicate that with the increase of squeeze pressure, the average diameter of primary α-Al particles decreased, while the densities and mechanical properties of the samples increased. The effect of T6 heat treatment on the mechanical properties is more significant in RSC samples than in conventional SC samples. The tensile strength and elongation of T6 heat treated RSC samples under 100 MPa pressure are 338 MPa and 8%, respectively.     

Strengthening technology and mechanism for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy

Combined with theoretical evaluation,an optimized strengthening process for the semi-solid die castings of A356 aluminum alloy was obtained by studying the mechanical properties of castings solution treated and aged under different conditions in detail,then,the semi-solid die castings and liquid die castings were heat treated with the optimized process.The results show that the mechanical properties of semi-solid die castings of aluminum alloy are superior to those of the liquid die castings,especially the strengthening degree of heat treated semi-solid die castingsis much greater than that of liquid die castings with the tensile strength more than 330 MPa and the elongation more than 10％,and this is mainly contributed to the non-dendritic and more compact microstructure of semi-solid die castings.The strengthening mechanism of heat treatment for the semi-solid die castings of A356 aluminum alloy is due to the dispersive precipitation of the second phase(Mg2 Si) and formation of GP Zone.
