Effects of Physical Melt Treatments on Microstructural Evolution and Anodizing Characteristics of Al-Si Casting Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to investigate the effects of physical melt treatment on microstructural feature and anodizing characteristics of Al-Si system casting alloys, A380 and A356 aluminum alloys were chosen and a twin-screw melt-shearing process was utilized before high pressure die casting. In order to refine and homogenize the microstructure of the diecast Al-Si alloys, the melt-shearing process parameters were controlled and T6 heat treatment was carried out.
