It is widely recognized that moderate addition of copper to aluminum, especially when
added together with silicon, significantly improves the resulting mechanical properties …

Al–Sn based alloys are widely used as plain bearings in several engineering applications,
particularly in internal combustion engines. The microstructures of these alloys are …

In spite of being barely studied, the prediction of mechanical properties by controlling and
monitoring solidification thermal parameters (growth rate–v; cooling rate–T ̇; …

Samples extracted along the length of directionally solidified (DS) castings of three Sn-x Bi
alloys (x= 34 wt.% Bi, 52 wt.% Bi and 58 wt.% Bi) were first evaluated metallographically and …

In this study, the Cu− 3.18 Ni− 0.75 Si− 0.28 Cr (wt.%) alloy was fabricated using vacuum-
assisted die casting (VADC), and the microstructure and properties of the alloy before and …

Hypoeutectic Al–Cu and Al–Fe alloys were directionally solidified under unsteady-state heat
flow conditions in a water-cooled solidification setup. The experimental cooling curves …

A temperature based Finite Element Model is developed to estimate the evolution of
temperature, shell growth profiles and solidification length of a solidifying ingot in a twin-belt …

The use of Al for replacing high-cost alloying metals, like Ag, Bi, and Cu, as the second
major element in Sn-based alloys, arises as a promising alternative for the development of …

Abstract Al-Mg-Fe alloys are appointed as favorable ones with respect to the costs and all
the required properties for successful vessel service. However, the experimental inter …

The interfacial heat transfer coefficient at metal/mold plays an important role for explaining
the energy extraction during solidification process. Experiments on heat transfer of binary …
