The porosity is unwanted phenomenon mostly that is tried to eliminate. The pores are initiation site of fatigue fractions usually, they worse strength and ductility of materials, quality of machined surfaces and their following surface treatment.

Aluminium alloys used in automobile brake master cylinder pistons wear by corrosion due to contamination and chemical reaction of the contacting brake fluid. The study investigates the corrosion of electroless-nickel (EN) deposition enhanced cast aluminium alloy master cylinder piston surfaces immersed in hydraulic brake oil. Cast specimens were produced from the as-received wrought A6061 alloy scrap by sand casting. EN plated as-received and cast aluminium alloys specimens were immersed fully in brake oil for 1680 hours and corrosion rates were determined every 24 hours. Test samples were characterised using the hardness tester, atomic absorption spectrometer, metallurgical photo-microscope, x-ray diffractometer; and SEM with EDX attachment. Both surfaces corroded in the order of electroless-nickel plated cast aluminium alloy (ENCA) < electroless-nickel plated as-received aluminium alloy (ENAA) at 0.0235 and 0.0251 rates (mg/mm2/y) results which showed improvement in the corrosion resistance with significant influence of electroless-nickel coating in reducing corrosion rates of aluminium alloy in brake oil.

Abstract The article presents application of FSW method for joining elements made of cast aluminium alloys which are hardly weldable with other known welding techniques. Research’s results of plasticizing process of aluminium and moulding of seam weld during different FSW process’ conditions were also presented. Influence of welding parameters, shape and dimensions of tool on weld structure, welding stability and quality was examined. Application of FSW method was exemplified on welding of hemispheres for valves made of cast aluminium alloy EN AC-43200.
