Determination of Thermo-Physical and Physical Properties of Complex Alloyed Brass

At present time complex alloyed brasses are widely used for manufacturing of parts worked in fray conditions. The mechanical and service properties of this alloys are provided by presence of different structural constituents in the structure of alloys. The wear resistance is a basic property of complex alloyed brasses. The information on actual problems in the industrial production of cast bars, semi-finished products and [ pfrts]-непонятно] of complex alloyed brasses is presented in the article. In accordance with the increasing requirements of consumers to reliability and service life of parts the complex alloyed brass Cu62Zn31.6Mn3Al2Si0.8Ni0.4Cr0.2 was proposed as a material for production of parts. The development of technology of melting and semi-continuous casting of complex alloyed brass is an important problem. Moreover, for estimation of thermal contition of ingot and simulation of the process of solidification of the ingot, it is necessary to know thermal physic and physical characteristics of an alloy. Therefore, the research on determination of heat conductivity, heat capacity and density of complex alloyed brass, depending on temperature, was carried out. The obtained experimental data can be used to thermos-technical calculation of thermal contition of ingot and simulation of the process of solidification of ingot during semi-continuous casting for the purpose of determination of technological parameters of casting.
