Fluidity of A713 Cast Alloy with and without Scrap Addition using Double Spiral Fluidity Test: A Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recycling of aluminum alloys often decrease fluidity, consequently influence the castability of the alloy. In this study, the fluidity of Al-Zn alloys, such as the standard A713 alloy with and without scrap addition has been investigated. The scrap added was comprised of contaminated alloy turning chips. Fluidity measurements were performed with double spiral fluidity test consisting of gravity casting of double spirals in green sand moulds with good reproducibility. The influence of recycled alloy on fluidity has been compared with that of the virgin alloy and the results showed that the fluidity decreased with the increase in recycled alloy at minimum pouring temperatures. Interestingly, an appreciable improvement in the fluidity was observed at maximum pouring temperature, especially for coated spirals. Keywords—A713 alloy, Fluidity, Hexachloroethane, Pouring

Evaluation of Casting Shrinkage and Liquid Metal Fluidity of IN-713C Alloy
This paper presents the results of measurements of liquid metal fluidity and linear shrinkage of nickel alloy IN-713C in vacuum induction melting furnace Balzers VSG-2. Because of limited volume of the furnace chamber special models for technological trials were designed and constructed to fit in the mould of dimensions 170x95x100mm. Two different designs of test models were proposed: horizonta...
متن کاملEffect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....

متن کاملMorphological and Thermal Flux Analysis in as-Cast Al Alloy after Swarf Addition
In this research, effect of swarf addition on the microstructure of die cast aluminum A380 alloy and the possibility of altering the alloy structure in the metallic die has been studied. The microstructure mainly consists of the α-phase, eutectic, intermetallic compounds and porosity. Since the alloy solidifies under non-equilibrium conditions, the Scheil equation with exact amount of equilibri...
