Elimination of Shrinkage Cavities by Liquid Hot Isostatic Pressing in Aluminum Alloys under Superplastic Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The liquid hot isostatic pressure in superplastic conditions was applied to eliminate macroporosity in a die cast Al-12%Si eutectic alloy. The removing of macroporosity provides the yield stress increase of 56%, the ultimate tensile strength increase of 46%, the total elongation increase of 21%, the fracture toughness increase of 340% and the fatigue strength increase of 58%. Remarkable improvement of mechanical properties is caused by suppression of crack initiation on internal coarse pores.
