Fig. 3. (a) Schematic of four-point reversed bending set-up used in this study. Dimensions in mm. (b) Picture of the bending fatigue test set-up. The specimen was fixed by four fixtures, where two outer fixtures were connected to upper moveable shaft for applying the loading. The two internal fixtures were connected to the fixed base in the bottom. Between the fixture and the shaft/base were thin steel spring to ensure that the specimens can bend flexibly. To show the details more clearly, the distance between each fixture shown in the picture is larger than the actual distances used in this study.

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
