Utilization of En Ac-42100 Cast Aluminum Alloy for Casting of Critical Components. I. Preparation and Mechanical Properties

Abstract

Requirement on the minimum value of elongation for critical components is about 15 %. The research deals with the possibility of replacing the dendritic morphology of primary solid solution and brittle eutectic silicon plates with finer particles with a more suitable morphology and size, and the possibility of increasing the mechanical properties. Introduced first part is focused on the process of preparation of experimental material and mechanical properties.
