Effect of Pouring Temperature on Microstructure Properties of Al-Si LM6 Alloy Sand Casting

Abstract:

In the present paper an experimental investigation on green sand casting of Al-Si cast alloy (LM6) has been conducted. The main objectives of the research were the effect of pouring temperature on microstructure property of green sand casting Al-Si LM6 Alloy. The high quality of The LM6 alloy was investigated by controlling the pouring temperature. The pattern was flat like and pouring was done with four different temperatures 630, 660, 690 and 720Cº. The obtained results showed that the pouring temperature has a significant influence on the quality of green sand casting of LM6 Al-Si alloy. The lower pouring temperature provides finer microstructure with fewer defects such as porosity.
