Effects of different lubricants on the Green density and sintering density of Al-12Si-2Cu-0.1Sn
Al-12Si-2Cu-0.1Mg and Al-12Si alloys were studied. Results show that the lubricant comprising PEG and EBS can improve the density of the alloys significantly. The largest green density and sintering density can be attained when the proportion of PEG to EBS is 1∶2. It has practical significance for the development and application of the PM Al-based alloys.
