Effect of Cooling Rate on the Microstructure of Al-5.17Cu-2.63Si Cast Alloy

Abstract:

The effect of cooling rate on the solicitation microstructure of a ternary cast Al-5.17Cu-2.63Si alloy is investigated. To create widely different cooling rates for the investigated alloy, the melts were cast into four molds made of different materials: aluminum, graphite, sand, and alumina-silicate-fiber felt (a thermal insulated material), respectively. The cooling curves for each mold specimen were simultaneously measured using calibrated K-type thermocouples, which are linked to a PC computer. The microstructures are characterized in terms of eutectic volume fraction and second dendrite arm spacing. The experiment result shows that increasing the cooling rate increases the amount of eutectic phase and decreases significantly the second dendrite arm spacing.
