Abstract

The room temperature fatigue properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy produced by high pressure die casting (HPDC) as cast, heat treated, friction stir processed (FSP) and FSP and heat treated were studied. The fatigue properties of the material were evaluated for the HPDC magnesium alloy in the as-received state and after a solution treatment at 415 deg. C for 2 h and an ageing treatment at 220 deg. C for 4 h. The heat treatment resulted in a significant increase in the fatigue properties of the HPDC material, while no significance influence of heat treatment was recorded in the FSP condition. The morphology of fracture surfaces was examined by employing a field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEGSEM)

Microstructure-refinement–driven enhanced tensile properties of high-pressure die-cast A380 alloy through friction stir processing

Journal Article Samanta, Avik; Seffens, Rob; Das, Hrishikesh; ... - Journal of Manufacturing Processes

This work employs friction stir processing (FSP), a well-known severe plastic deformation technique, to selectively modify the microstructure of thin-walled, high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) aluminum alloy A380, a major HPDC alloy fabricated in the die casting sector. FSP effectively breaks down Al dendrites and acicular Si particles, creating a homogenized distribution of equiaxed Si particles in the aluminum matrix. After FSP, the refined Si particles (~1.5 µm) are smaller than the eutectic Si particles (3–8 µm) in HPDC condition. In addition, interparticle distance has decreased almost 50% compared to dendritic arm spacing, and FSP has reduced the aspect ratio of Simore »« less

Effect of tool design and pass strategy on defect elimination and uniform, enhanced tensile properties of friction stir processed high-pressure die-cast A380 alloy

Journal Article Samanta, Avik; Das, Hrishikesh; Grant, Glenn; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

This work reports implementation of friction stir processing (FSP) to locally modify microstructure and create a defect-free processing zone with the aid of different tool designs and altering the passing strategy for two different process parameter combinations. Here, FSP is applied on high pressure die-cast (HPDC) A380 alloy, a widely used Al-Si alloy fabricated in the die casting sector for automotive and aerospace applications. However, the presence of gas and shrinkage porosity, brittle needle-shaped Fe-containing ß-FeSiAl₅ intermetallic compounds, Al-dendrites, coarse and acicular silicon particles, and large second-phase particulates have a detrimental influence on the uniformity of tensile properties across themore »« less

Enhanced Tensile and Tear Toughness Properties of Thin-Wall Vacuum-Assisted High-Pressure Die-Cast Aural-5 Alloy by Friction Stir Processing

Conference Samanta, Avik; Das, Hrishikesh; Grant, Glenn; ...

Steadily rising demand for glider weight reduction has driven the development of vacuum-assisted high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) Al-alloys for automotive structural components. Aural-5 is a strontium-modified HPDC alloy utilizing manganese (Mn) to reduce die soldering, eliminating detrimental needle-shaped Fe-bearing ß-phase intermetallic and improving ductility. HPDC Aural-5 contains shrinkage porosity, dendrites with Al-Si eutectic colonies, externally solidified crystals (ESCs), shear-band structure, and large second-phase particulates. Porosity, ESCs and large second-phase particles work as crack initiation sites, negatively impacting tensile properties. In this study, friction stir processing (FSP) is employed for microstructural modification of a thin-walled HPDC Aural-5 by eliminating porosity and breakingmore »« less

Microstructural modification of a high-pressure die-cast A380 alloy through friction stir processing and its effect on mechanical properties

Conference Samanta, Avik; Das, Hrishikesh; Garcia, David; ...

Aluminum alloy A380 is one of the major high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) alloys fabricated in the die casting sector. However, microstructural features such as shrinkage and gas porosity, entrapped oxide inclusions, change in the morphology of eutectic Si particles as a function of casting location, and the presence of multiple second phase particulates, especially Fe-bearing phases in HPDC A380 alloy results in limited ductility, thus, affecting its structural application. However, through proper modification of the as-cast microstructure, it is possible to improve the mechanical performance of alloy A380. In this study, we report the effect of friction stir processing (FSP), amore »« less

The Use of Friction Stir Technology to Modify Surfaces of AM60B Magnesium Die Castings

Journal Article Santella, Michael; Degen, Cassandra; Frederick, David; ... - Journal of Metals

These experiments were done to evaluate the feasibility of locally modifying the surface properties of magnesium alloys with friction-stir processing. The magnesium alloy used for the study was high-pressure die-cast AM60B, nominally Mg-6Al-0.13 Mn (wt.%). Friction-stir passes were made with a translation speed of 1.7 mm/s using tool-rotation speeds of 1,250 rpm or 2,500 rpm. Stir passes with good appearance were obtained under both conditions. In some cases up to five passes were overlapped on a single bar to produce stir zones with cross-sectional dimensions of about 1.5 mm x 10 mm. Metallographic examinations indicated that the stir zones weremore »« less
