Contact the Aluminum Association, Inc., 900 19th St.N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006. and ask them for referrals or help with this subject. Another resource would be Alcoa--generate a contact through their website.
The process is high pressure squeeze casting (20,000+ psi), and the idea is to fill a closed steel cavity (part shape) with molten AL at approx. 1300 deg. F at a slow ingate velocity (2"/sec). The object of the process is to fill the cavity without turbulence that would normally entrap...
I am interested in getting physical properties (UTS, YTS, Elong, Hardness and 10**7 cycles fatigue value. I am interested in A356, 357 and 355 alloy values at T5 and T6 heat treatment. Thanks
I am looking for the best stainless steel alloy to use for molten aluminum alloy (380, 390 369)foundry tools. I would like to know why a particular alloy is more resistant to attack than others. How do the inconel alloys do in this application?
You can't use the wrought aluminum values for titanium. Titanium is much stronger than aluminum alloys--check the ASM desk reference handbook for metal tensile values etc. You can also contact their website for information-- www.asminternational.org.
