A-356 TYPE ALUMINUM CAST ALLOY. PART II. EFFECT OF BERYLLIUM CONCENTRATION

Abstract

This investigation was conducted to determine the effect of variations of beryllium 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 six different compositions. The Tee's of all chemistries were solution heat treated similarly and were aged for various times at two temperatures.
