Hot Tearing Susceptibility

Residual stresses in Mg-xCa (0.5 wt. % and 1.0 wt. %) cast alloys were investigated by neutron diffraction using a mould with two preheating temperatures of 250 °C and 450 °C. Results show that the increase of Ca content decreases the residual stress in the hot sprue region. These results are quite in agreement with those obtained by the measurement of hot tearing susceptibility, which shows the increment in Ca content improves the castability of Mg-Ca alloys.

Al–Cu–Ce alloys have been studied in the Al-rich corner using the microstructural (LM and SEM), thermal (direct and DSC), X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis techniques. Three cross-sections were of particular interest: (a) at 20%Cu (up to 12.5%Ce), (b) at 14%Cu (up to 10%Cu) and (c) at a ratio Cu:Ce=2:1 (up to 10%Ce and 20%Cu). As-cast alloys and those after annealing at 540 and 590°C were studied. Boundaries of appearance of the Al8CeCu4 primary crystals and ternary eutectic involving the phase Al2Cu were determined. The radial cross section (Cu:Ce=2:1) is supposed to be of quasibinary type as ternary eutectic does not form. The temperature and concentrations of the eutectic reaction L–(Al)+CeCu4Al8 were found to be 610°C, 14%Cu and 7%Ce. This binary eutectic has fine microstructure and is capable to fragmentation and spheroidization during heating. The paper considers possibility of using the Al–Cu–Ce system for developing novel Al casting alloys with significantly improved casting properties (hot tearing and fluidity) in comparison with 2xx commercial alloys.

Hot Tearing Susceptibility

The effect of various Sn contents (1–2 wt. %) on the microstructure, age hardening response, and tensile and casting properties of the high-pressure die cast Mg-6Zn-4Al alloy were studied. All as-cast alloys consisted of α-Mg and icosahedral quasi-crystalline phase; and the addition of 2% Sn caused the formation of Mg2Sn phases. Dendrite structure and eutectic phases were observably refined by Sn addition. The hot tearing susceptibility of the die cast Mg-6Zn-4Al alloy prominently decreased with increasing Sn addition. During T6 heat treatment, Sn addition did not obviously affect the time to reach peak hardness, but significantly enhanced the age hardening response and improved the strength of alloys under peak-aged conditions. Compared to single aging, double aging resulted in the higher density of finer β1′ and β2′ precipitates. The double aged Mg-6Zn-4Al-1Sn alloy offered the optimum tensile properties among all conditions. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation were 209 MPa, 305 MPa, and 4.3%, respectively.
