this research concentrates on the effects of low frequency, vertical mechanical vibration during solidification on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a380 aluminum alloy. two series of sr-modified and al-5ti-b grain refined a380 alloy samples were solidified in both static and dynamic conditions in the frequency and amplitude of 60 hz and 0.2 m, respectively. their physical, micro-...

When evaluating the fatigue life of a die cast A380 aluminum alloy, the combination of microstructures, inclusions, and stress concentrations is particularly important. This paper presents a failure analysis of an A380 die cast aluminum pivot arm used in a clothing press. This study includes finite element analyses, optical microscopy of the fracture surface, fatigue testing of the A380 aluminu...

Aluminum–silicon (Al–Si) alloys are the most commonly cast aluminum alloys. Fe is deleterious element for Al–Si die casting alloys, as its existence causes precipitation of substantial intermetallics that result in unsatisfactory mechanical performance alloy, such ductility. Hence, controlling morphology and formation AlFeSi phase, particularly β-AlFeSi vital improving ductility Herein, Ca was ...

The use of aluminum alloys in various industries, especially the automotive industries, to have less structural weight, is on the rise. The use of semi-solid forming process in addition to changes in the microstructure which improves the mechanical properties can reduce the volume of production and ultimately lead to the improvement of the structural weight. In this paper, optimization of the g...

The continuing quest for cost-effective and complex shaped aluminum castings with fewer defects for applications in the automotive industries has aroused the interest in rheological high pressure die casting (R-HPDC). A new machine, forced convection mixing (FCM) device, based on the mechanical stirring and convection mixing theory for the preparation of semisolid slurry in convenience and func...
