Crystallisation and microstructure of low-silicon silumins with alloy additions
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the analysis of crystallisation and microstructure of non-alloy silumins that contain: 2,0÷6,0% of Si and alloy additions, approximately: 4,0% Ni, 4,0% of Cu and 0,5% of Mg, the knowledge of which is still very little. It has been proven that in non-alloy silumins, the increase of silicone concentration causes extending of crystallisation time of the eutectic mixture α+ and refinement of α phase dendrites. It also causes the increase of the temperature of crystallisation of the eutectic mixture α+. Alloy additions: Ni, Cu and Mg decrease by approximately 30oC the liquidus and solidus temperatures of silumins and extend the time of their crystallisation by around 100 sec. in comparison with non-alloy silumins. It is caused by crystallisation of additional phases Al3NiCu, Mg2Si and Al2Cu. Nickel, copper and magnesium refine the microstructure of castings.
