Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA The ratio of compression yield strength to the initial tensile yield strength is called Bauschinger effect factor, BEF. A nonlinear strain hardening mathematical model is proposed for 7075 aluminium alloy (A7075). Uniaxial tension-compression experimental data are used to figure out a suitable model to study the BEF. Hence, uniaxial tension-co...

Hot tearing: from organic alloys to superalloys. The appearance of solidification cracks or hot tears during casting is a serious defect. EPF-Lausanne has developed a criterion for the appearance of hot tears which is based upon a mass balance performed over the liquid and solid phases and which takes into accounts for the tensile deformation of the solid skeleton perpendicular to the growing d...

The research work examined the effect of the removal of iron from aluminium-silicon alloys using dopants on the structure and mechanical properties. Manganese, cobalt and molybdenum were used as the modifying elements. The as-cast Al Si alloys were analyzed for iron content using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) technique. The dopants or modifying elements were added as micro additives at v...
