Abstract The aim of the work was to perform adequate selection of the phase composition of the composite designated for permanent - mould casting air compressor pistons. The hybrid composites based on AlSi7Mg matrix alloy reinforced with mixture of silicon carbide (SiC) and glassy carbon (Cg) particles were fabricated by the stir casting method. It has been shown that the proper selection of chemical composition of matrix alloy and its modification by used magnesium and strontium additions gives possibility to obtain both the advantageous casting properties of composite suspensions as well as good bonding between particles reinforcements and matrix.

Mg-5Al-0.3Mn-1Ce alloy was prepared by metal mould casting method. The as-cast ingot was homogenized and hot-rolled with total thickness reduction of 61% after four passes. Texture, microstructure and mechanical properties of the studied alloy were investigated. Results showed that the as-cast sample was mainly composed of a-Mg, Mg17Al12and Al11Ce3phases. Average grain size of the as-cast sample was about 500 μm. After hot-rolling, average grain size was greatly refined to about 20 μm. Further more, the long acicular Al11Ce3phase was smashed to small pieces. Tensile test results demonstrated that ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the hot-rolled sample were improved by 65.2% and 165% respectively compared with those of the as-cast sample. Strength enhancement was attributed to grain refining strengthening and dislocation strengthening mechanisms.

Fully amorphous Zr48Cu43-xAl7Ag2Nix(x=0, 2, 4, 6, 8 at. %) alloy system synthesized by Cu mould casting method were utilized to study corrosion behavior due to the poor corrosion resistance of Zr-Cu-Al-Ag alloy system by addition of Ni. High temperature DSC revealed that the Zr-based alloy system still maintained good glass-forming ability and thermal stability with the addition of Ni element. The result obtained from both the immersion test and the potentiodynamic polarization test showed that the addition of Ni element significantly improved the corrosion resistance compared to the Ni-free Zr-based alloy system. SEM graph showed a phenomenon of corrosive pit where there existed corrosion deposits as well as cellular textures and microcracks. In summary, proper addition of Ni could modify the corrosion resistance of the Zr-based alloy system.

Mg15Al-xNd (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0and 4.0wt.%) alloys were prepared by metal mould casting method and the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. The results demonstrate that primary α-Mg grain is significantly refined with the addition of Nd element in Mg15Al alloy, and the best refinement is reached at 1.0wt.%Nd content. Further increasing Nd content leads to the coarsening of primary α-Mg grains. The added Nd element is also the reason of the refined eutectic β-Mg17Al12 and increased dispersion. The β-Mg17Al12 phase is thoroughly changed from fibrous coupled eutectic into divorced eutectic when Nd content reaches 1.5wt.%. Al11Nd3 phase is formed when the addition of Nd reaches to 1.0wt.% and Al2Nd phase emerges in the microstructure with increasing Nd content up to 4.0wt%. Addition of Nd element significantly improves the mechanical properties of Mg15Al alloy at room temperature. The best tensile strength and elongation is achieved by adding 1.0wt% Nd into Mg15Al alloy.

Al–8.6Zn–2.6Mg-2.4Cu–xCe(x = 0–0.4 wt. %) alloys were prepared by metal mould casting method, the effects of Ce on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys were investigated. The results showed that the dendrite as well as grain size were refined by the addition of Ce, and the best refinement was obtained in 0.25 wt % Ce containing alloy. The main phases in the as-cast alloys were α-Al, Mg-Zn32, Mg32 (Al, Zn)49, and Al4Ce phase was found in the alloys containing more than 0.1%Ce. The addition of Ce improved the mechanical properties of the alloys. The strengthening mechanism was attributed to grain refinement and compound reinforced

In this paper the effect of production method and heat treatment of magnesium alloys to their corrosion resistance is presented. The study was carried out on the AZ91D alloy obtained by permanent mould casting, pressure die casting and pressure die casting with the subsequent heat treatment. Studies of the microstructure were carried out using a light microscope. The corrosion resistance was examined using the Potentiodynamic Test. The surface observations after corrosion tests were carried out using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was stated that the best corrosion resistance is typical for AZ91D alloy produced by pressure die casting method with heat treatment. The alloy after permanent mould casting has got the worst corrosive properties.

Abstract The cooling rates associated with suction and copper-mould casting of ø2, ø3 and ø5 mm rods made in Fe-25wt%Ni and Al-33wt%Cu alloys were determined based on their cellular and lamellar spacings, respectively. The work showed that the temperature profile in cylindrical samples can not be determined merely by microstructural examination of eutectic sample alloys. A concave solidification front, as a result of eutectic transformation, caused decrease of a lamellar spacing while approaching to the rod centre. The minimum axial cooling rates, estimated based on the cellular spacing in the Fe-25wt%Ni alloy, were evaluated to be about 200 K/s for both ø2 and ø3 mm and only 30 K/s for the ø5 mm suction cast rods. The corresponding values were slightly lower for the copper-mould cast rods.
