Development of the fundamentals of melting and casting technology of Al-Me (Cr, Ni, Mo, W, Ti) master alloys used for modification of microstructure in silumins
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The study presents the technological backgrounds of the process of melting and casting Al-Cr, Al-Ni, Al-Mo, Al-W and Al-Ti master alloys, used as refiners of the microstructure of cast silumins. Basing on the analysis of phase equilibrium diagrams for an Al-Me (Cr, Ni, Mo, W, Ti) system at a temperature of 900oC, the characteristic intermetallic phases of AlxMey were investigated. Due to their similarity with Al and Si in respect of both structure and lattice arrangement, these phases may act as heterogeneous nuclei and promote solution hardening during, e.g., heat treatment. Using the method of thermal analysis ATD, the temperature was plotted in function of time, and then the characteristic values of the solidification parameters of master alloys were read out from the respective curves.
