In the present investigation, FGMs of mono-dispersed in-situ primary Si and their hybrids with Mg2Si reinforcements have been fabricated by the centrifugal casting process using 390 commercial Al alloy. Hard primary silicon particles are formed during the solidification of the 390 alloy and Mg2Si reinforcements are formed by the addition of varying amount of magnesium into the A390 aluminium alloy. Owing to the difference in density both primary silicon and Mg2Si gets segregated towards the inner periphery during centrifugal casting. The size of the Mg2Siin-situreinforcement phase is relatively smaller and is distributed in the edges of primary silicon particles and also individually in the matrix. Thein-situMg2Si and primary silicon can significantly increase the hardness and strength of the inner periphery of the casting. Higher Mg contents have been observed to introduce significant porosity leading to poor castings. Addition of phosphorous to the melt has led to the modification and refinement of primary Si morphology and also helped in the reduction of shrinkage porosity. Maximum hardness of 167 BHN is observed towards the inner periphery of the 390Al-2.5%Mg added in-situ composite.

Centrifugally Cast

A390 functionally graded material (FGM) pistons were fabricated by centrifugal casting, where the silicon particles were segregated in the head portion of the pistons by appropriate design and their density differences. Centrifugal casting offers casting of cylindrical structures with gradation in its properties. In centrifugally cast A390, a suitable die design can lead to the formation of hard primary Si particles gradually distributed towards the head region producing a particle rich zone, transition zone and matrix rich zone. Microstructure and chemical composition analysis confirms the composition gradation. Hardness and wear test results revealed that the gradation positively helps to improve the desired properties with the presence of in-situ primary silicon reinforcements.
