Observation of Hot Tearing in Sr-B Modified A356 Alloy

ULUDAĞ, Muhammet | ÇETİN, Remzi | DIŞPINAR, Derya

In this work, T-shaped mould design was used to generate hot spot and the effect of Sr and B on the hot tearing susceptibility of A356 was investigated. The die temperature was kept at 250°C and the pouring was carried out at 740°C. The amonut of Sr and B additions were 30 and 10 ppm, respectively. One of the most important defects that may exist in cast aluminium is the presence of bifilms. Bifilms can form by the surface turbulence of liquid metal. During such an action, two unbonded surfaces of oxides fold over each other which act as a crack. Therefore, this defect cause many problems in t ...Daha fazlası

Change in Porosity of A356 by Holding Time and Its Effect on Mechanical Properties

ULUDAĞ, Muhammet | ÇETİN, Remzi | GEMİ, Lokman | DIŞPINAR, Derya

In most of the practical casting operations, it is important to be able to cast large number of part with one single melt. Therefore, when quantity of the charge and melting crucible is increased, during casting process, the liquid is led to settle for a long period of time. In this work, 10 kg charge of A356 was melted at 750 °C and held for 240 min. A sand mold with different thickness was cast at 30, 60, 120, and 240 min of holding time of the liquid, before and after degassing conditions. Melt quality was measured by reduced pressure test, and pore size and number were measured at each cas ...Daha fazlası
