Mechanical Properties of Al-10 Mass % Si-Mg High-Pressure Die-Casting Alloy with Different Mg Content

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of Mg content on Al-10 mass % Si-0.05, 0.30 and 0.60 mass % Mg alloys castings were produced by high-pressure die-casting process, used by microstructure observation and evaluation of mechanical properties. With increasing Mg content, the main constituent phases (primary α-Al phase and eutectic phase) were not changed, but a small amount of phases crystallized at last stage of solidification (β-Al5FeSi, π-Al8Si6Mg3Fe and Mg2Si) were changed in the kind and the volume. In the mechanical property, 0.2%PS and UTS were increased, elongation and absorbed energy were decreased with increasing Mg content or difference of heat treatment. Because the fracture mode in primary α-Al phase was changed from ductile to brittle by precipitation strengthening.
