Casting properties of the high-strength AlZnMgCuNiSi alloys

Abstract: In this paper, the improvement of casting properties of the high-strength AlZnMgCu alloys is described. This improvement was achieved by additions of Ni, Mg, and Si, which formed eutectic phases, thus reducing the crystallization interval of the alloy. The comparison of the castability and hot-tearing tendency was made for three alloys: nearly single-phase AlZn6Mg2 alloy, quasi-ternary eutectic AlZn7Mg7Cu1Ni3Si3 alloy, and common casting AlSi10 alloy. It was shown that the castability and hot-tearing tendency … Show more

“…In fact, the spherical morphology is typical for the quasi-crystalline phase [2], so the spheroids occupy a large volume fraction of the fine powder particles. On the other hand, Fe-containing crystalline phases of irregular shape [22] are present mainly in the coarse fraction.…”

“…From those, Al-Si alloys, and more specifically AlSi10Mg (followed by AlSi12), are undoubtedly the most investigated and commercially used additively manufactured Al-based alloys. These materials, particularly relevant for light-weight and high-strength applications, are widely used for aluminium casting due to the proximity to the eutectic composition (~12.5% Si) [16]. Therefore, they are relatively easy to process by laser applications, which are known to lead to a small solidification range [17].…”

“…Particularly, Al-Si10-Mg alloy is widely used for aluminium casting due to its proximity to the eutectic composition (~ 12.5% Si). 3 Therefore, it is relatively easy to process by laser applications which is known to lead to a small solidification range. Additionally, minor additions of magnesium (0.3 -0.5 wt.% Mg) are known to induce hardening of the alloy by forming Mg2Si precipitates upon natural or artificial ageing treatments.…”
