Optimization and utilization of semisolid casting process for semisolid welding of Al-6061 alloy

چکیده مقاله:
Semisolid processing is one of the modern routes in sound and near net shape parts production. Preparation of semisolid slurry using a cooling slope is increasingly becoming popular, primarily because of its simplicity in design and ease of control of the process. In this research, the microstructures of Al6061 semisolid alloy cast via a miniature cooling slope were investigated. The properties of final microstructures such as sphericity depend on such casting factors as pouring rate, superheat, slope angle and slope length. In this work, the relationships between the process parameters and microstructural properties of semisolid castings were identified using a two level factorial design. The results showed that simultaneous increase or decrease in pouring rate and cooling slope length can result in the most proper microstructure. The optimum result was then successfully used for semisolid welding of the alloy.

Evaluation of mechanical properties of nanostructured Al 6061 alloy weldment during resistance spot welding process
In this study, The Al 6061 alloy sheets were produced by Cryorolling process and then were welded by resistance spot welding method. In this regard, the solution treated Al 6061 alloy cryorolled subsequently up to 90% reduction in thickness to produce nanostructure alloy. The cryorolled sheets were then subjected to aging treatment (130˚C-30h) in order to obtain simultaneous strength and ductil...

Cracking is a major concern in welding aluminum alloys. Although weld solidification cracks can be eliminated through addition of filler alloy, the additives modify the alloy or base-metal constituents and may not always be desirable. High-energy beam processes, such as electron-beam welding, that result in minimal heat input reduce crack sensitivity, but their high cost limits their applicatio...

The demand for high performance cast aluminum alloy components is often disturbed by increasing impurity elements, such as iron accumulated from recycled scraps. It is strongly required that coarse plate-like iron compound of β-Al5FeSi turns into harmless form without the need for applying refining additives or expensive virgin ingots. The microstructural modification of Al-7mass%Si alloy bille...

Sintering is a key technology for processing ceramic and metallic powders into solid objects of complex geometry, particularly in the burgeoning field of energy storage materials. The modeling of sintering processes, however, has not kept pace with applications. Conventional models, which assume ideal arrangements of constituent powders while ignoring their underlying crystallinity, achieve at ...
