The purpose of the present study was to discuss the effects of local solidification time and thermal gradient on porosity content in long solidification range A201 aluminum alloy plate castings. With systematic change in the riser size, together with variation of thickness and length, were cast in different kinds of molds. The sand molds with end chill for the plate castings were made of 100% silica sand. The porosity content of A201 aluminum alloy was affected by the local solidification time and thermal gradient at same time in this study. The correlation between porosity content and any individual thermal parameter is found to be split into 2 bands, each being associated with one of the two thicknesses of plate castings. The higher the thermal gradient, the lower the porosity content was measured in the A201 aluminum alloy plate casting. And high thermal gradient with short solidification time will get lower porosity content in aluminum alloy castings

The purpose of the present study was to discuss the effects of local solidification time and solidus velocity on porosity formation in high strength aluminum alloy casting. With systematic change in the riser size, together with variation of thickness and length, A201 aluminum alloys were cast in 100% silica sand molds. The porosity content of A201 aluminum alloy was affected by the local solidification time and solidus velocity in this study. The correlation between porosity content and solidification time is found to be split into 2 bands, each being associated with one of the two thicknesses of plate castings. The longer the solidification time, the more the porosity content was measured in the A201 aluminum alloy plate casting. And the faster the solidus velocity, the more the porosity content in this study. The porosity content of A201 aluminum alloy was influenced by both of solidification time and solidus velocity at same time in this study. Basically, shorter local solidification time with slow solidus velocity seems get lower porosity content in A201 aluminum alloy castings.

A201 aluminum alloy plate castings with systematic change in the riser size, together with variation of thickness and length, were cast in different kinds of molds to find out the influence of cooling rate on the mechanical properties and porosity content. The sand molds with end chill for the plate castings were made of 100% silica sand (type A mold), 50%silica sand/50% chromite sand (type B mold) and 100% chromite sand (type Cmold). Both the porosity content and mechanical properties of A201 aluminum alloy plate casting are governed by the cooling rate. Both of tensile strength and elongation are reduced when the porosity content becomes more.

Systematic change of riser size together with variation of thickness and length of A201 aluminum alloy plate castings were studied to investigate the correlation between mechanical properties and porosity content. The molds with end chill for plate castings were made of 100% chromite sand by CO2 process. If soundness throughout the whole plate casting has to be guaranteed, the riser diameter should be proper design to the dimension of the plate. The tensile strength and elongation of A201 aluminum alloy plate casting is governed by riser diameter, thickness, and length of the plate.

This study is to with system change the riser size and the casting geometry to find out the relation between thermal gradient and porosity formation in A201 aluminum alloy plate casting, which is discussed in this study. The results show that the porosity content was found to be relevant to the thermal gradient and riser system. The larger the thermal gradient (G), the lower the porosity content was found in this study.
