The experimental results show that rare earth element Sc is capable of refining the dendritic structure of the Al 4%Cu alloy, the tensile strength σ b and yield strength σ 0.2 just increase a little when the content of Sc is lower than 0.2%; when the content reaches 0.3%0.4%, σ b and σ 0.2 slightly decrease; but σ b and σ 0.2 rise again when the Sc content is 0.5%, though both of them are lower than those of the Al 4%Cu alloy without Sc addition. However, Sc addition has little influence on the elongation of the Al 4%Cu alloy. Adding Sc to the Al 4%Cu alloy, when the amount of Sc is lower than 0.2%, Sc mostly exists in the α (Al) solid solution; when the Sc content is in the range of 0.3%0.5%, only a part of Sc exists in the α Al solid solution, the rest appears in two ways: one is that Sc and Al form Al 3Sc which can strengthen the alloy, and the other, Sc interacts with Al and Cu to form AlCuSc phase.展开更多

The results show that with an increase in wall thickness, the cooling rate decreases, the dendrite arm spacing(DAS) increases significantly and the mechanical properties decrease steadily. The elongation is more sensitive to the cooling rate than the tensile strength. No obvious trend of the effect of wall thickness on hardness of the alloy was found. When the cooling rate is at its greatest, the microstructures and mechanical properties are the best when using chromite sand. The improvement of the properties is mainly attributed to the decrease of the DAS, the grain refinement and the metamorphic effect. Each of the three has a strong impact on the microstructures. Furthermore, a series of fitting models was established based on the data of the DAS to predict the mechanical properties of the multivariate sand-cast Al-7.5Si-4Cu alloy,展开更多

During isothermal heat treatment, both grain shape and the high volume fraction of solid phase have significant effects on grain growth. Therefore, a new grain growth model based on the Ostwald ripening theory was proposed taking into consideration the grain shape and the volume fraction of solid phase. By comparing the calculated results with the experimental results, it was confirmed that the present model could be applied to grain growth during isothermal heat treatment of the Al-4Cu-Mg alloy in the SIMA process.展开更多

The same alloy was also spray deposited at a gas pressure of 1.6 MPa. The microstructural features exhibit a coarse to fine dendritic morphology for sand and chill cast alloys. Equiaxed grains were observed for spray formed alloys. Wear testing employing a pin-on-disc type set-up, reveals considerably lower wear of spray deposited alloy compared to that of chill and sand cast alloys. The morphological features of wear track on specimen and debris indicated a mixed oxidative-cum-adhesive wear mechanisms for these alloys tested in the present investigation.
