Abstract:

The kinetics of calcium and sodium removal at 730$ sp circ$C by chlorination from commercial purity (99.7% Al) and aluminum-1wt% magnesium alloys has been investigated. The contribution of chlorine containing gas bubbles, of intermediate reaction products generated by the chlorination process, as well as evaporation through the melt surface, to the removal of calcium and/or sodium has been documented quantitatively. Experimental parameters investigated were chlorine concentration in the gas bubbles and gas flow rate. The measurement of frequency of bubble formation at the tip of the gas bubbli

Abstract:

The manufacture of ceramic composites has traditionally been a complex and often expensive process. A new processing method, the DIMOX$ sp{ rm TM}$ process, takes advantage of the high temperature oxidation behaviour of aluminum alloys to produce a ceramic-metal composite. Although this process is fairly simple to implement, there has not been any attempt to link the starting materials and manufacturing conditions to the properties of the final composite. This work attempts to identify some critical parameters in the manufacturing process and how they affect the end product. The reaction tempe

Cane sugar (sucrose) and carbon black were used as carbon sources. Reaction conditions studied were carbon to alumina ratio, temperature and reaction time.

Abstract:

Iron and silicon are the major impurities in the 1000 series of wrought aluminum alloys. As the aluminum is recycled, it picks up more and more of these impurities which cannot economically be refined out of the aluminum. When the concentration of these impurities reaches a certain limit (maximum limit in 1000 series is 1 weight percent (Fe+Si)), the aluminum must be downgraded. The Fe and Si form brittle intermetallic phases in these alloys. The two main phases are the plate-like $ beta$-AlFeSi (Al$ sb5$FeSi) and $ alpha$-AlFeSi (Al$ sb8$Fe$ sb2$Si) which has a Chinese Script morphology. The

Abstract:

The permanent mold casting process is a relatively popular and effective casting technology that can produce near-net-shape aluminum components with integrity, particularly for the automotive and aerospace industries. It is well recognized by the casting industry that it is essential to control the cooling of permanent mold castings in order to improve the quality of the castings, so there is a considerable incentive to develop a more effective method of mold cooling to control the temperature distribution of the mold and the casting. The current technologies for controlled cooling are air or

The commercial applications of cast Al-Si alloys depend to an important extent on controlling the morphology of the eutectic silicon through thermal modification in the solid state and/or chemical modification of the melt before the production of the casting.

A three-dimensional mathematical model for the simulation of vertical direct chill (DC) slab casting of aluminum alloys has been developed.

The buoyancy force term is implemented in the model through the Boussinesq approximation.

Manganese and iron are two major alloying elements in various aluminum products.

All methods of alloying use mechanical stirring of some form or other to enhance dissolution rates by promoting forced convective mass transfer.

The effects of the three factors (modification, grain refinement, and hydrogen level) on the amount of porosity, impact strength, and performance of the reduced pressure test in A356 alloy have been studied. It was found that grain refinement, acting singly and in combination with modification, reduces the porosity by inducing mass feeding. However, this beneficial effect may not be found at all cooling rates and casting sizes. There is less total shrinkage in Sr-alloyed samples than in those which are non Sr-alloyed. The reason for this is supposed to be a difference in the liquid density whi

Effects of pore, secondary dendrite arm spacings (SDAS ), hot isostatic pressing (Hipping), and strontium-modification on fatigue behavior were studied in an aluminum casting alloy (A356.2). Microstructures were revealed by X-ray radiography, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Small-cracks were monitored by taking replicas of the surfaces with which the cracks intersected. As the SDAS increases from 15 to 55 μm, fatigue life decreases by a factor of 3 in low-cycle fatigue, and 100 in high-cycle fatigue. When SDAS is less than 30 mum, the pore size is below a critical size of ∼8

Abstract:

Global trends in automotive industry for weight reduction drives an interest for casting of structural aluminum parts. High pressure die casting (HPDC) is chosen for this purpose since it enables manufacturing of large series parts where complexity and repeatability is demanded. Aluminum alloys have hence been developed through the years to obtain suitable mechanical properties for high strength parts. These alloys have been investigated to predict the types of potential failure mechanisms during HPDC in order to determine die life through simulations. Die life prediction was performed through

Abstract:

With constant miniaturization of integrated circuits, the current densities experienced in interconnects in electronic circuits has been multiplied. Aluminum, which is widely used as an interconnect material, has fast diffusion kinetics under low temperatures. Unfortunately, the combination of high current density and fast diffusion at low temperatures causes the circuit to fail by electromigration (EM), which is the mass transport of atoms due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing atoms. In the present study, the effect of alloying elements in aluminum on the dif

Abstract:

Due to the environmental issues related with fuel consumption and additionally passenger safety, aluminum space frame chassis is promising a big opportunity to design a lightweight structure with a high stiffness. Despite the lower stiffness and strength of aluminum in comparison to the conventional steel chassis, it can be compensated with changing thickness and design of structure by space frame geometry In this study, instead of using steel for automobile chassis, main goal is producing a space frame structure with using aluminum in an extrusion and sand casting processes and improve the st
