2. 11. On the Residual Stresses and Microstructure Formation of Aluminum-Silicon Cast Alloys

   Author : Mohsen Sadrossadat; Sten Johansson; Ru Lin Peng; Ingvar L Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Al-Si alloys; residual stresses; microstructure; microsegregation; nucleation behavior; modeling; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Cast aluminum-silicon alloys are being increasingly used in automotive and aerospace industries for critical structure applications because of their excellent castability, low density, acceptable mechanical properties and low cost. Different casting and heat treatment parameters largely affect the microstructure and residual stress of the components, which in turn, has a great impact on their mechanical properties. READ MORE

4. 12. The influence of microstructure on the crack initiation and propagation in Al-Si casting alloys

   Author : Toni Bogdanoff; Salem Seifeddine; Ehsan Ghassemali; Anders E.W. Jarfors; Johan Moverare; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aluminum-Silicon alloys; scanning electron microscopy; material characterization; fatigue performance; digital image correlation;

   Abstract : For reducing the CO2 footprint in many industrial fields, the goal is to produce lighter components. The aluminium-silicon (Al-Si) cast alloys are promising candidates to fulfill these goals with a high weight-to-strength ratio, good corrosion properties, excellent castability, and recyclable material.

5. 13. The effect of microstructural features, defects and surface quality on the fatigue performance in Al-Si-Mg Cast alloys

   Author : Toni Bogdanoff; Ehsan Ghassemali; Salem Seifeddine; Anders E.W. Jarfors; Ru Peng; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aluminum-Silicon alloys; defects; material characterization; fatigue performance; digital image correlation;

   Abstract : Global warming is driving industry to manufacture lighter components to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Promising candidates for achieving this are aluminium-silicon (Al-Si) cast alloys, which offer a high weight-to-strength ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good castability. READ MORE

6. 14. Imperfections in Recycled Aluminium-Silicon Cast Alloys

   Author : Anton Bjurenstedt; Anders Jarfors; Salem Seifeddine; Pål Schmidt; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Imperfections; Recycled cast Al-Si alloy; Fe-rich particles; Melt quality; Fractography; Differential scanning calorimetry.;

   Abstract : In striving to produce high quality cast components from recycled aluminium alloys,imperfections have to be considered, because recycled aluminium usually containsmore of it. However, there are great energy savings to be made by using recycledaluminium; as little as 5% of the energy needed for primary aluminium productionmay be required. READ MORE

7. 15. Rapid solidification behaviour of Fe and Al based alloys

   Author : Sathees Ranganathan; Hasse Fredriksson; Zhongyun Fan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rapid solidification; Melt spinning; Metastable phases; Fe based alloys.; Metallurgical process and manufacturing engineering; Metallurgisk process- och produktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Rapid solidification experiment on Fe-Cr-Mo-Mn-Si-C alloy was performed to investigate metastable phases formed during the solidification. A wide range of cooling rate was used to analyse the sample from melt spinning technique (~107 K/s) to water quenching method (~102 K/s). READ MORE
