Zusammenfassung: | A set-up for tensile testing in the mushy zone allowing for studies of semi-solid mechanical behavior is available at SINTEF. A hot-tearing experimental set-up has recently been developed allowing for investigation of the hot-tearing susceptibility of industrial aluminium alloys and effects of e.g. alloying composition and grain-refiner. Load and temperature are registered during constrained solidification giving information on the mechanical behavior of the alloy during solidification. Two crack-prone alloys in the 3xxx-series (A and B) have been investigated using both techniques and the results analyzed using information about solidification path from a thermo-physical model. Alloy B is found to be mechanically weaker in the interval most susceptible to hot-tearing in agreement with cast-house experience. This study shows that the experimental techniques combined with thermo-physical modeling and characterization allow for a better understanding of the hot-tearing sensitivity of the alloys. |
