Many of the drawbacks associated with the production of conventionally cast ingots and castings, such as the presence of pipes, centre-line segregation and columnar grains, can be attributed to the manner and extent of cooling inside the mould cavity and the problems of heat transfer from the centre to the outside of the casting. These result in lowering of the average mechanical properties and the yield of the casting. In the past, the use of external chills to reduce the above defects has had limited effects. This is because the influence of external chills becomes marginal beyond a certain distance. One of the potential methods of overcoming such problems is to employ heat sinks in the form of internal chills. Despite reported work by Russian and Japanese investigators on the use of internal chills, in the form of powder or strip, in iron and steel castings, no detailed information on the use of such chills in aluminium or other non-ferrous alloys is available in the literature.This paper presents deta...

In the present investigation, the toughness of A1-8Si casting alloy has been evaluated by an instrumented Charpy impact test machine, using U-notched specimens. In attempting to identify the role of the microstructure in relation to toughness, a number of microstructural parameters, including dendrite spacing (λd), mean free path (MFP) across the dendrites (i.e., edge-to-edge dendrites spacing), in addition to Si particle size, morphology and spacing, are considered. It has been found that the microstructural change has affected the toughness of the alloy under investigation in two ways, namely an increase in the initiation energy required for fracture, and an increase in the propagation energy of fracture. The presence of fine Si particles of low aspect ratio and with a beneficial degree of sphericity has affected the initiation energy as a result of an improvement in the resistance to void initiation. In the case of propagation energy of fracture, the void size and its effect of local strain concentrati...
