Abstract The present paper is an experimental study on the squeeze pin effect on the high pressure die cast aluminium parts, as a way of improvement of material homogenity on various and big wall thickness castings. Squeeze is used in high pressure die casting technology for optimizing homogenity of big wall thicknesses of die cast parts working as structural, mechanical and hydraulic components, made of different aluminium alloys such AlSi alloys. The objective of this research is to highlight the primary and secondary effects of squeezing on the structural homogenity of high pressure die cast aluminium parts, as well as the dependence of the effects on the squeeze pin dimensions and the operating parameters.

AbstractThis article is a research on the effect of material segregations due to squeeze parameters on mechanical properties of high pressure die cast parts. The technology of squeezing is applied in high pressure die casting technology with the aim to improve the internal material health of the castings from aluminium alloys, such as AlSi9Cu3(Fe), components incorporated in assemblies as mechanical and hydraulic parts. The objective of this article is to determinate the influence of the secondary effects of squeeze technology on the mechanical properties of parts produced from AlSi9Cu3(Fe) alloys, with HPDC technology.

Pressure Die Casting

Compact AM50 alloy components were cast by Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) process. The microstructure and mechanical properties of cast components were investigated under as-cast and heat treated states. It was found that the microstructure of LPDC AM50 is composed of α-Mg and second phases - Mg17Al12 and Al8Mn5. Compared with Gravity die casting, LPDC AM50 alloy had much coarser grains and higher density, with smaller sizes and less content of second phases. The density of AM50 alloy by LPDC process was ρ=1.7836g/cm3, with increase of 0.45% based on Gravity die casting and much more increase compared with high pressure die casting. The as-cast mechanical properties by LPDC process were: σ0.2=57.8Mpa, σb=192.3Mpa, δ=8.7%. These of Gravity die casting were: σ0.2=53Mpa, σb=173.4Mpa, δ=8.1%. UTS in LPDC increased about 20MPa, with better YTS and Elongation. Compared with that of high pressure die cast AM50, the YTS of LPDC was much lower, with comparable UTS and Elongation. The mechanical properties of the heat treated AM50 alloy were still in the same level of as-cast state. AM50 alloy by LPDC process is not necessary subjected to tempering treatment.

Externally Solidified Crystals

In semi-solid metal high pressure die casting and in conventional high pressure die casting, it is common to find a defect band just below the surface of the component. The formation of these bands is not fully understood. However, there are several theories as how they occur, and it has been suggested that segregation is caused by the migration of aluminium-rich externally solidified crystals. In the present work the formation of these bands is investigated theoretically by reviewing suitable potential mechanisms for the migration of such crystals. Two mechanisms are identified as the most probable: Saffman lift force and the Mukai-Lin-Laplace effect. However, it was not possible to identify which of these two mechanisms acted in the case studies. Further testing is required to identify the mechanism that is causing the migration of the aluminium globules and suitable tests are proposed.

High strength wrought Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy 2139 was successfully processed using the CSIR rheocasting system and cast into plates using high pressure die casting. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine suitable homogenization/solution treatment temperatures. A two-step homogenization/solution treatment of 490oC for 24 h, followed by 520oC for 2 h does not cause any incipient melting. Artificial aging of the R-HPDC 2139 plates at 160oC for 24 h results in tensile properties similar to those reported for thixoformed casting alloy 201-T6. The minimum military specifications for wrought 2139-T8 are exceeded in terms of strength, with slightly lower ductility being obtained. Artificial aging at 153oC for 20 h results in tensile properties that exceed all the minimum military specifications for wrought 2139-T8.

Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy 2139 is a wrought alloy that is heat-treatable and used in aerospace constructions. This is mainly due to the addition of silver in the alloy. Hot-tearing is a problem for casting wrought alloys with conventional liquid casting techniques. The risk is reduced by using rheo-high pressure die casting (R-HPDC) to allow the alloy to be used for near-net shape forming of components. This study investigates the segregation characteristics of R-HPDC alloy 2139. The effects of segregation on the age-hardening response as well as the tensile properties are studied. The chemical composition differences across the casting were found to aid in correlation of results. It is found that segregation occurs in three dimensions, namely from the surface to the centre of the casting, as well as across the width and length of the casting.
