Examination of Crystallization of Low Melting Point Alloys for Miniature Casting

Article Preview

Abstract:

Our company started an alloy development project with the aim of developing an alloy to miniature casting, which meets customer requirements the most. Besides solders and alloys for nuclear usage, the manufacturing of alloys to miniature casting is also a significant business. The development was started based on the requirements of the customers. Model metals are mainly alloys of lead-tin-bismuth and antimony. Adequately, the research concentrated on this alloy system. In the first step, besides the thermal characteristics, the crystallization of dissimilar alloys in the system and crystallized microstrtucture was examined. The thermal features of the crystallization of alloys were examined by calorimetry, while microstructural constituents were examined by metallographic and SEM-EDX examinations.
