Residual Stresses in the Hot Sprues of as-cast Mg-Zn Alloys Investigated by STRESS-SPEC Neutron Diffractometer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Residual strains near the sprues of ingots with different contents of Zn (6 wt. % and 9 wt. %) were measured using neutron diffraction. The results showed that the increase of Zn content decreases the residual stress in the hot sprue region. These results are good in agreement with that obtained by the measurement of hot tearing susceptibility.
