The microstructure and mechanical properties of top plate, force wall and bottom plate in low-
pressure sand-casting aluminum alloy cylinder head were evaluated at room temperature …

The mechanical properties were evaluated on specimens of AlSi 9 Cu 3–T6 (333-T6) gravity
casting (GC) alloy at room temperature. The GC 333-T6 alloy showed higher yield strength …

The strain controlled low cycle fatigue behavior (LCF) of a gravity casting (GC) Al–9Si–3Cu
(333) alloy for engine cylinder heads was investigated at 423 and 523 K. Detailed studies …

As the electrification of vehicle powertrains takes prominence to meet stringent emission
norms, parts of internal combustion engines like cylinder heads are subjected to an …

This paper presents test results of the effect of thermomechanical aging conducted at 100°
C, 200° C and 300° C on the fatigue life of EN AW-2024 alloy at ambient temperature. The …

The strain-controlled low cycle fatigue properties were evaluated on specimens of 333
aluminum alloy at different strain rates. The material exhibited initial cyclic hardening …

The effects of grain refinement on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a
secondary AlSi7-Cu3Mg gravity die cast cylinder head are reported. Metallographic and …

The strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue properties of gravity cast Al-Si-Cu alloys for engine
cylinder heads were investigated. At strain ratios of R ε=− 2, 0, and 0.1, the cyclic stress …

Alternatives to the Standard T6 heat treatment that relied on a 5-h solution heat treatment at
490° C were investigated in effort to reduce the heat treatment cycle time for the manufacture …
