Effect of Cavitation Phenomenon on the Quality ofHigh-Pressure Aluminium Alloy Castings

DOI:  https://doi.org/10.7494/jcme.2023.7.3.27 ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of the effect of cavitation on the erosion of pressure moulds intended for the HPDC casting mould manufacturing process. Changes in the surface area of the eroded areas were investigated via photographs of castings at the beginning of the mould life as well as at 30%. The

Low- and High-Pressure Casting Aluminum Alloys: A Review

WRITTEN BY Helder Nunes, Omid Emadinia, Manuel F. Vieira and Ana Reis Submitted: December 5th, 2022 Reviewed: January 7th, 2023 Published: February 3rd, 2023 DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.109869 Abstract Low- pressure casting and high-pressure casting processes are the most common liquid-based technologies used to produce aluminum components. Processing conditions such as cooling rate and pressure level greatly influence the

Development of High-Ductility and Low-Hot-Tearing-Susceptibility Non-heat Treatment Al–Mg–Mn-Based Die Casting Alloy for Automotive Structural Parts

Development of High-Ductility and Low-Hot-Tearing-Susceptibility Non-heat Treatment Al–Mg–Mn-Based Die Casting Alloy for Automotive Structural Parts

International Journal of Metalcasting (2023)Cite this article Abstract Non-heat-treated Al–Mg-based die casting alloys have been developed for the structural parts of automobiles. In previous studies, alloy compositions with at least 1.0%Si have been proposed to reduce the hot tearing susceptibility (HTS). On the other hand, the increase in the Si content reduces the ductility. For some

Figure 8(a) Inverse pole figure maps for halite grains with large Kristallbrocken grains labelled 1–5. (b) Pole figures of fine-grained matrix halite excluding five Kristallbrocken grains show no significant crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO). (c) Kernel average misorientation (KAM) map overlaid with white low- and high-angle grain boundaries (misorientation >5∘). KAM map was calculated over a distance of 40 µm (second neighbour) with a threshold of 3∘ in order to enhance the small-angle subgrain boundaries. KAM shows subgrain-free matrix halite with few exceptions in large matrix halite grains, Kristallbrocken 1 and 5 with subgrains, and subgrains in boudin necks of Kristallbrocken 3 and 4. (d) Cumulative reference orientation deviation map over the areas of Kristallbrocken 3 and 4, based on more highly resolved EBSD measurements. Reference points for each of the two grains are indicated. Panels (a) and (b) consist of 30 individual measurements, which due to image distortion under 70∘ tilt cannot be stitched perfectly. Therefore, in some cases an artificial separation of areas belonging to the same grain is visible

Large grain-size-dependent rheology contrasts of halite at low differential stress: evidence from microstructural study of naturally deformed gneissic Zechstein 2 rock salt (Kristallbrockensalz) from the northern Netherlands

Jessica Barabasch,Joyce Schmatz,Jop Klaver,Alexander Schwedt,and Janos L. Urai Abstract Constitutive laws to predict long-term deformation of solution-mined caverns and radioactive-waste repositories in rock salt play an important role in the energy transition. Much of this deformation is at differential stresses of a few megapascals, while the vast majority of laboratory measurements are at much higher differential
