Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallization behavior of iron-containing intermetallic compounds in 319 aluminum alloy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the crystallization behavior of iron-containing intermetallic compounds in industrial grade aluminum alloy by means of thermal analysis and metallography, and highlighted the importance of nucleation and growth undercooling for crystallization of iron compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of casting imperfections on the fatigue life of 319-F and A356-T6 Al–Si casting alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the porosity characteristics on the fracture surfaces of fatigue-tested samples were examined using SEM and image analysis, where the results showed that porosity has the greatest detrimental effect on fatigue life: 92% of all tested samples fractured as a result of porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of tensile properties in Al–Si–Cu and Al–Si–Mg alloys: Effect of β-iron intermetallics and porosity
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of β-iron intermetallics and porosity on the tensile properties of cast Al-Si-Cu and Al−Si-Mg alloys was investigated using experimental and industrial A356.2 alloys, and the results showed that the alloy ductility and ultimate tensile strength were subject to deterioration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of additives on the microstructure and tensile properties of near-eutectic Al–10.8%Si cast alloy
TL;DR: In this paper, the detailed microstructure and tensile properties of as-cast and heat-treated new experimental alloy belonging to cast Al-Si near-eutectic alloys have been investigated as a function of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Mg content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porosity and the fatigue behavior of hypoeutectic and hypereutectic aluminum–silicon casting alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the fatigue behavior of five Al-Si casting alloys under the influence of microstructural heterogeneities, and found that the fatigue strength decreases as the size of the pore increases, and vice versa.
