Hypereutectic Aluminium-Silicon Casting Alloys—A Review

N. Tenekedjiev, J. E. Gruzleski · 1 Apr 1990

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 of 319.2 aluminium automotive alloy Part 1, Solution heat treatment

Josée Gauthier, P. R. Louchez, F. H. Samuel · 1 Jul 1995

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…

Magnesium Effects on the Microstructure of Unmodified and Modified Al-Si Alloys

A. T. Joenoes, J. E. Gruzleski · 1 Apr 1991

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…

Development of a New Hot-cracking Test for Aluminium Alloys

D. H. Warrington, D.G. McCartney · 1 Jul 1989

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…

Hot-tearing in Aluminium Copper Alloys

Yusuf Guven, J.D. Hunt · 1 Apr 1988

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…

Cast Metals template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cast Metals format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cast Metals template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cast Metals use?
Cast Metals uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Cast Metals 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cast Metals?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Cast Metals document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cast Metals template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cast Metals format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Cast Metals?
Cast Metals is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Cast Metals template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Cast Metals PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cast Metals template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cast Metals template cost?
