Abstract ZA-12 is the intermediate member of the family of three ZA die-casting alloys. Its melting point, solidification range and recommended casting-temperature range are greater than those of ZA-8. (See Alloy Digest Zn-48, January 1990). Due to these factors, ZA-12 must be die cast in cold chamber die-casting machines like conventional aluminum die-casting alloys. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-49. Producer or source: Aluminum Smelting and Refining Company Inc..

AbstractThe effect of aging heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic steel was investigated in this article. The microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the microstructure of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic is composed of austenite. This steel was strengthened by precipitates of secondary phases that were mainly M23C6 carbides and NbCrN nitrides. As aging treatment time increased, the tensile strength first rose (0–3,000 h) and then fell (3,000–5,000 h) due to the decrease of high density of dislocations. The impact absorbed energy decreased sharply, causing the sulfides to precipitate at the grain boundary. Therefore, the content of sulfur should be strictly controlled in the steelmaking process.

AbstractThe purpose of the present study is to determine the cause of failures of semisolid rheocast cylinder head covers of hypereutectic modified LM30 alloys. The covers, manufactured by rheocasting, a process that consists of the incorporation and homogeneous distribution of the reinforcements in semisolid metal (SSM) before die casting, were shot-peened after heat treatment to increase the fatigue resistance. However, these engine components failed during operation after a short service time. The major flaws were located by radiography. The microstructure was controlled by metallography. Significant interactions between shot peening and surface/subsurface contaminants were identified by surface morphology and fractography. The fatigue properties of hypereutectic alloys were investigated by a high-frequency vibrophore. It was identified that the failure was related to the cleanliness of SSM as well as the rheocasting process. Recommendations were given to prevent the recurrence of similar failures.
