Effect of applied pressure on the quality of squeeze cast parts made from AlSi9Mg alloy
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The results of the study of an influence of pressure in the direct squeeze casting process on the physical and mechanical properties of an AlSi9Mg alloy are presented. The specimens were made by casting the tested AlSi9Mg alloy under the conditions of variable squeeze pressure, using a PHM 160c type hydraulic press. Analyzing the results of the experiment, it has been found that, the applied pressure has an important impact on the quality of castings squeezed in liquid state. The effect of squeeze pressure proves the advisability of continuing the application of various liquid-phase methods using external pressure to improve the properties of castings produced.
