摘要
An experimental study on lost foam casting of an Al-Si-Cu alloy was conducted. The main objective was to study the effect of pattern coating thickness on casting imperfection and porosity percentage as well as eutectic silicon spacing of the alloy. The results showed that increasing slurry viscosity and flask dipping time influenced the casting integrity and microstructural characteristics. It was found that thinner pattern coating produced improved mould filling, refined microstructure and higher quality castings containing less porosity.
对Al-Si-Cu合金进行消失模铸造,研究涂层厚度对Al-Si-Cu合金铸件缺陷、孔隙率和共晶硅间距的影响。结果表明,提高涂层浆料黏度和延长浸渍时间对铸件的完整性和显微组织有影响。薄的涂层有利于模腔充填性能的改善、显微组织的细化和低孔隙度高质量铸件的获得。
