AbstractThe structure, properties and uses of hypereutectic aluminium-silicon foundry alloys are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the control of primary silicon morphology through phosphorus treatment. The effects of various process variables on the silicon structure are discussed. Experimental work related to the simultaneous refinement of primary silicon and modification of the eutectic is reviewed. It…

Heat treatment is one of the important controlling factors used to enhance the mechanical properties of an alloy casting. This involves optimizing both the solution heat treatment and the ageing treatment given to the alloy. This paper on 319.2 alloy (an important aluminium alloy for automotive applications) constitutes the first part of a study of…
Small amounts of magnesium are often used to improve the mechanical properties of Al-Si foundry alloys. The effect of this magnesium on the eutectic microstructure has been investigated at magnesium levels up to 1 wt%.Experiments were performed on AI-7% Si, AI-13% Si and 413.2 alloys. Assessment of the eutectic microstructure was undertaken using thermal analysis…
A new hot-cracking test has been developed for aluminium alloys which allows investigations of hot-tearing to be carried out under well-controlled solidification conditions. The stress which develops in the solidifying ingot is perpendicular to the macroscopic growth direction and so columnar structures are tested normal to the growth axis of the columnar grains. A localised…
An experimental technique has been developed to investigate hot tearing. In this technique either the load or strain built up during casting could be measured as a function of the mould wall temperature. Experiments were carried out in Al—Cu alloys. Although there was considerable scatter in the results, it was concluded that strength began to…
