ABSTRACT The process of multistep nucleation during solidification in hypoeutectic Al-Mg-Si casting alloys was investigated. The morphology of the nucleating particles, Mg2Si primary crystals and Al-Mg2Si eutectic, was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on polished and deep etched microsections. The mechanism of formation of the Mg2Si crystal was attributed to heterogeneous nucleation on the nucleating particles. It was observed that the majority of the alloys particles found in the studied are oxides. It was established that eutectic Al–Mg2Si in hypoeutectic alloys has the morphology of ‘eutectic crystal’, where one face of the crystal has triangular-spiral morphology. The mechanism of formation of Al-Mg2Si eutectic cells is attributed to epitaxial growth on Mg2Si crystals. The microhardness of the structural components (Mg2Si crystals, α-Al dendrites, Al-Mg2Si eutectic, and Al3Ti crystals) was measured using Vickers hardness tester.

ABSTRACT The evolution of nitrogen gas formation in cast iron was studied based on the information of the N solubility in the carbon-saturated iron-containing Mn and Si over the wide temperature range. In order to verify the accuracy of the Fe-Mn-Si-C phase diagram, the transition temperatures of the Fe-Mn-2.7 wt%Si-Csat alloys were measured according to the Mn concentration using a differential scanning calorimetry under the purified Ar atmosphere. The recent thermodynamic modelling result of the Fe-Mn-Si-C-N system was used to describe the solubility limit of N in liquid and solid solution in the carbon saturated iron alloys. The cooling and quenching experiments were also carried out to check the effects of temperature and phase transformation on the N solubility limit in the temperature range from 500°C to 900°C.

ABSTRACT A new method for mould filling calculation of lost foam casting (LFC) was developed based on the main hypothesis, which assumes that every point on the melt-pattern interface moves in the radial direction. The value of the normal velocity is calculated by an empirical formula, which is the function of the degree of vacuum, pattern density, pouring temperature, metallic static head, etc. At a given time step, every interface point moves to a new position, and all the points form the shape of the melt-pattern interface. Based on the new position of the interface and the given velocity of the interface cell, the fluid flow and the temperature distribution of the molten metal can be calculated during the mould filling process of LFC. The calculated results were validated by experiments.

ABSTRACT The effect of P/S-wave on the solidification feeding and the mechanism of vibration promoting the solidification feeding in the low-pressure casting are discussed in the paper. The casting defects were analysed by X-ray non-destructive testing and the buoyancy method. It can be found that the compactness of casting is greatly improved by vibration. In the solidification feeding, according to vibration theory, P-wave will play a decisive role. When the transmission direction of P-wave is perpendicular to the feeding direction, it will lead to the alternation of dense-sparse state in the solidification system. When feeding is blocked, in the sparse state, the diameter of the feeding channel will increase, so that the pressure loss of feeding decreases. At the feeding end, the feeding pressure will make the solidification feeding again. On the contrary, vibration can’t further promote the feeding in the dense state.

ABSTRACT The concept of converting dendritic structures into globular morphologies through solid-state deformation, termed as strain-induced melt activation (SIMA), is assessed. Although the original invention defined the specific two-stage deformation scenario, almost four decades of extensive research, involving a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, subjected to conventional and severe plastic deformations, caused its evolution. According to present understanding, any deformation of cast structures with a strain level sufficient to trigger recrystallisation leads to dendrite-to-globule transition during subsequent partial melting. It is proposed that the SIMA term should not only be associated with the particular deformation scenario but should be seen as a broad synonym for a variety of thermomechanical treatments, explored for controlling the solidification microstructure. Such an updated definition expands applicability of the SIMA concept from bulk billets to coarse particulates and fine powders.

ABSTRACT An experimental study focused on the determination of mechanical properties of synthetic green sand system using Nagavali river sand by adding banana peel powder as an additive. Compression strength, shear strength, mould hardness bulk density and permeability are the various properties found in the laboratory following standard testing procedures. Sand aggregate is prepared by mixing the bentonite as binder and banana peel powder as an additive to the silica sand in various amounts. Encouraging results in terms of strength and hardness are obtained by testing the standard sand samples. In fact, the properties exhibited are almost similar to the values obtained by addition of 2% dextrin as an additive to the sand aggregate. Since the banana peel powder can be easily prepared which is most economical in terms of cost compared with dextrin, that can be an alternative additive in preparing the sand moulds to obtain adequate strength and hardness.

ABSTRACT Heterogeneous nucleation based on the spherical cap model has been used in this study to evaluate nucleation pressure and the number of hydrogen atoms necessary for nucleation. Calculations have shown that the minimum heterogeneous nucleation pressure that can be achieved is in the order of 1 GPa, which is four orders of magnitude larger than the values assumed in the literature. Implications of the results are discussed.

ABSTRACT To study the influence of the microstructure of cast iron on the adhesion of an epoxy coating, ferritic, pearlitic and austempered samples were prepared in as-received, polished and oxidised states. A pull-off test (dry adhesion) was performed before immersing in water while the cross-cut test was made after 24 days of exposition in distilled water (wet adhesion). X-rays were combined with optical microscopy (LOM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface analysis. The adhesion of the epoxy coating on the cast iron surface firstly depends on the roughness of the surface; polished samples showed high adherence by comparison with as-received samples. On the oxidised samples, the surface oxide significantly improves the adhesion of the coating in both dry and wet states for all three sample microstructure. The presence of carbide in the structure was observed to decrease adherence.

ABSTRACT In this study, a chromium carbide layer was fabricated by an in-situ casting technique on ductile iron cast components. The procedure consists of (i) applying a ferrochrome slurry at the surfaces of silica sand moulds to create a surface layer (e.g. coating) and (ii) use a ductile iron alloy to cast the coated moulds. The microstructure of the realised surface layer was characterised and analysed via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD).The corrosion behaviour of the samples was analysed by an electrochemical method using 0.03 M NaCl. The wear tests and Vickers hardness measurements were performed to determine the properties of the surface layer. It was determined that the layer is composed of chromium carbide (Cr7C3), ledeburite and pearlite. The ‘chromium carbide’constituent improved significantly both the wear resistance and the hardness of the surface layer. Electrochemical measurements have indicated that the carbide-based layer exhibits a lower corrosion resistance than the substrate (e.g. casting).

ABSTRACT Functionally graded Cu-10Sn-5Ni/10B4C composite was fabricated using horizontal centrifugal casting. Microstructural and mechanical properties were superior at reinforcement-rich inner zone where wear tests were conducted based on response surface methodology five-level run order, using pin on disc tribometer. Results showed that wear rate increases linearly with increase in load and sliding velocity whereas with increased sliding distance, it increases non-linearly with reduced slope. Minimum wear is observed at optimum combination of load (10 N), velocity (1 m/s) and sliding distance (500 m). Worn surfaces were analysed using scanning electron microscope to determine the wear mechanisms. Results concluded applied load as the major influential parameter over wear rate leading to occurrence of deep grooves along with delamination at higher loads and shallow grooves along the sliding direction at lower loads. Fabricated composite proves the ability to replace conventional materials for automotive sliding applications, providing improved wear characteristics at dry sliding conditions.
