dc.description.abstractThis paper is concerned with the influence of vibration on the cooling slope casting and gravity casting. Mechanical vibration during cooling slope casting is a new technique. Also isothermal holding period of hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy to prepare semisolid slurry has been studied. The convection caused by the vibration during solidification had remarkable effects on the formation of spherical α-Al particles. The main vibration effects include evolution and increase of nucleation and thus reducing as-cast grain size; globularization of particles and production of a more homogenous metal structure. In this work, mechanical mould vibration and mechanical-inclined plate vibration was applied to an AlSi8Cu3Fe alloy at fixed frequency. Metallographic examinations and grain analysis were done on specimens obtained with different pouring temperatures and casting methods. The α-Al particles were spherical in cooling slope casting under vibration, as compared with cooling slope casting without vibration and gravity casting with vibration. A grain analysis along with different casting techniques was performed in order to understand the vibration effect. A heat-transfer mechanism seems responsible for the vibration effect in grain formation. © 2012 King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals.
