摘要:Effects of alloying elements Mg,Cu and heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of AlSiMgMn alloys fabricated by squeeze casting were investigated by OM,SEM and EDS.For the AlSiMgMn alloys with trace Sr modification,the eutectic silicon modification levels are about grade 5 according to the American Foundry Society(AFS)standard chart for Al-Si alloys.The AlSiMgMn alloys with 0.3% Mg or 0.5% Mg show the same optimized heat treatment parameters:solution at 535 ℃for 4 and aging at 160 ℃ for 6.While the Mg content in AlSiMgMn alloys is increased from 0.3%to 0.5%,the tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy prepared are increased by 60 MPa and 70 MPa,respectively.Replaced Sr with Sb for modification of the AlSiMgMn alloy with 2.5%Cu addition,in consideration of the detrimental effect of Cu on Sr modification,the modification level of eutectic silicon is about grade 34.Although eutectic silicon particles could be spheroidized well in the subsequent heat treatment,the particle aggregation occurs obviously because of non-uniform modification effect in the casting process.It is found that strength of squeeze cast AlSiMgMn alloy is improved obviously by Cu addition,where tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the alloy after T6 treatment reach 435 MPa,338 MPa and 7.0%,respectively.

摘要:Deformability of an investment casting shell affects directly forming quality of TiAl alloy castings.There exists absence of general standard for evaluation of shell deformability,which results in a slow development of process technology of TiAl alloy investment casting shell and can’t meet requirements of the formation of TiAl alloy castings.Room temperature bending strength and high temperature deflection are taken as evaluation method of the shell deformability for judging the differences of deformability of mold shells made by different types of binder.The results show that silica sol shell has a high room-temperature strength,poor plasticity and a higher high-temperature strength.The room-temperature strength of ethyl silicate shell is the lower than that of the silica sol shell,and the high temperature strength is much lower,while the plasticity is relatively excellent.It can be concluded that the deformability of ethyl silicate shell is the better than that of silica sol shell.The deformability of the TiAl alloy investment precision casting shell can be estimated effectively by using three point bending strength tests and high temperature deflection tests.
