- Description
- This work investigates the effects of pouring temperature, slope length, and slope temperature in cooling slope casting on the formation of globular microstructure of Al-7Si-Mg alloy. The remnant alloy on the slope during casting was quenched and characterized at different stages of flow to evaluate the microstructure features developed in cooling slope casting. The primary ?-Al dendritic phase found in conventional cast alloy was transformed into globular shape in slope-processed cast alloy. Finer and more homogenous primary ?-Al phase was formed at lower pouring temperature (625C). The effect of slope length on microstructure of Al-7Si-Mg alloy was significant at high pouring temperatures (640 and 660C) but was not visible at low pouring temperature (625C). The microstructure of alloy became coarser with increasing slope temperature. 2015, ASM International.
