Heat resistant Mg-RE (Mg-11Y-5Gd-2Zn-0.5Zr) alloy engine piston was produced by gravity casting
and the processing parameters
such as pouring temperature
preheating temperature of the mould and heat treatment conditions
were optimized.Meanwhile
the microstructure of alloy piston was observed by optical microscope
SEM (scanning electron microscope).The results reveal that there exist amounts of secondary phases distributed along grain boundary in as-cast microstructure
while amounts of lamellar phases are precipitated from grain boundary after solid solution and ageing treatment.The Vickers-hardness of aged alloy piston shirt reaches 131.4
and high temperature tensile strength of piston top exhibits excellent with 161.9MPa at 350℃.In addition
creep strain of piston top is only 0.428% at 250℃/80MPa for 100 hours.The density
specific heat capacity at 100℃
thermal conductivity at room temperature and linear expansion coefficient at 20~100℃ reach 1.995g/cm3
