Study on hardness and microstructural characteristics of sand cast Al–Si–Cu alloys
Muzaffer Zeren Erdem Karakulak
In this study, the influence of Cu content on the hardness and microstructural characteristics of sand cast Al–Si–Cu alloys have been investigated. Al–Si alloys with 2% and 5% Cu have been utilized for this purpose. Solidification of Al–Si–Cu alloys have been realized by melting in a gas furnace with a crucible and casting in green sand molds at 690°C. The solution treatment has been performed at 500°C for 7 h and then specimens were quenched in water. The samples have been aged at 190°C for 15 h to observe the effect of aging on mechanical properties.
