A-356 TYPE ALUMINUM CASTING ALLOY. PART I. EFFECT OF MAGNESIUM CONCENTRATION

Abstract

This investigation was conducted to deterime the effect of variations on magnesium content on the mechanical properties and part strengths of 'high purity' 356-T6 type aluminum alloys. Results are reported that were obtained from a series of similar 'Tee'-shaped test castings, poured by two foundries in both sand and permanent mold, using metal of three different compositions. The ''Tee's'' of all compositions were solution heat treat similarly and were aged for various times at two temperatures.
