Hot tearing tendency of A380 with various element additions (Sr, Sr+Ti, Ti, B and B+Sr) was investigated. Constrained rod casting (CRC) hot tearing test method was used to characterize the hot tearing sensitivity. Reduced pressure test (RPT) samples were produced from each condition and all trials were repeated three times. Number density of pores on the cross section of RPT samples was calculated via digital image processing and statistical analysis was carried out. Microstructure analysis was carried out to observe the effect of alloying elements. Hot torn cross sections were subjected to SE ...Daha fazlası
