One of the main reasons for the scrap of cast thin-wall frame aluminum alloy castings is deformation and cracking. It is an effective method for solving the problem by predicting the distribution of casting stress, clarifying the size of the deformation and the location of the crack, and taking necessary measures in the process. This paper uses the ProCAST software to simulate the thermal stress coupling of A356 thin-walled frame castings, analyzes the influence of pouring temperature, pouring speed and mold temperature on the stress field distribution of castings, predicts the hot cracking trend and deformation, and optimizes Casting process..

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of activating fluxes on the weld bead geometry, hot cracking susceptibility and mechanical property of A356 and 6061 aluminum alloy dissimilar welds in the gas metal arc (GMA) welding process. In this activated GMA welding process, there were nine single-component fluxes used in the initial experiment to evaluate the penetration capability of butt-joint GMA welds. The grey relational analysis (GRA) was employed to obtain the better weld bead geometry of welds that were considered with multiple quality characteristics. Based on higher grey relational grade (GRG), four single-component fluxes were selected to create mixed-component flux in the next stage. The experimental results showed that the GMA welds coated with activating flux were provided with better geometry of dissimilar welds. The experimental procedure of activated GMA welding process not only produced a significant increase in tensile strength of welds, but also improved the hot cracking susceptibility of aluminum alloy welds.

In this paper, the effect of adding the refiner Sc to the high Zn/Mg ratio 7xxx series aluminum alloy melt on the hot tearing performance, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the alloy is studied. The hot tearing performance test (CRC) method is used to evaluate the hot tearing performance of the alloy. The squeeze casting process was used to form solid cylindrical parts to analyze the structure and properties of the alloy. This study shows that the hot cracking sensitivity of the alloy after the addition of the refiner Sc is significantly reduced. The ingot grain size is significantly reduced, and the average grain size is reduced from about 86 μm to about 53 μm. While the mechanical properties are significantly improved, and the tensile strength reduced from 552 MPa is increased to 571 MPa, and the elongation rate is increased from 11% to 14%.

In this work, weldability and hot cracking susceptibility of five alloy 718 investment castings in laser beam welding (LBW) were investigated. Influence of chemical composition, with varying Si contents from 0.05 to 0.17 wt %, solidification rate, and pre-weld heat treatment were studied by carrying out three different weldability tests, i.e., hot ductility, Varestraint, and bead-on-plate tests, after hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and solution annealing treatment. Onset of hot ductility drop was directly related to the presence of residual Laves phase, whereas the hot ductility recovery behaviour was connected to the Si content and γ grain size. LBW Varestraint tests gave rise to enhanced fusion zone (FZ) cracking with much more reduced heat-affected zone (HAZ) cracking that was mostly independent of Si content and residual Laves phase. Microstructural characterisation of bead-on-plate welding samples showed that HAZ cracking susceptibility was closely related to welding morphology. Multiple HAZ cracks were detected in nail or mushroom welding shapes, typical in keyhole mode LBW, irrespective of the chemical composition and thermal story of castings. In all LBW welds, Laves phase with a composition similar to the eutectic of the pseudo-binary equilibrium diagram of alloy 718 was formed in the FZ. The composition of this regenerated Laves phase matched with the continuous Laves phase film observed along HAZ cracks. This was strong evidence of backfilling mechanism, which is described as wetting and infiltration of terminal liquid along γ grain boundaries of parent material. The current results suggest that this cracking mechanism was activated in three-point intersections resulting from perpendicular crossing of columnar grain boundaries with fusion line and was enhanced by nail or mushroom weld shapes and narrow and columnar γ grain characteristics of castings. Neither Varestraint nor hot ductility weldability tests can reproduce this particular cracking mechanism.
