Abstract

Language:

Aluminium alloys are the most promising lightweight materials used in the automotive industry to achieve weight reduction for improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. High pressure diecasting (HPDC) is a fast and economical near-net shape manufacturing method to produce engineering components. About 80 % of cast aluminium alloys are currently manufactured by HPDC. The increased demands of manufacturing structural components by the HPDC process require high strength Al-alloys for the automotive industry. However, the currently available die cast Al-alloys are unable to fulfill this requirement. Al-Mg2Si alloy is known as an alloy capable of providing superior high strength by Mg2Si particles. However, Al-Mg2Si alloy is not applicable in the HPDC process because of the severe die soldering problem. This has limited its applications throughout industries. Moreover, the existing studies on the Al-Mg2Si alloy are mainly focused on the hyper-eutectic alloys and limited information is available for hypo-eutectic alloys. Therefore, the development of high strength Al-Mg2Si based alloys for the HPDC process is significant for manufacturing quality automotive components. The present study mainly focuses on the alloy development for the HPDC process, investigating the effect of excess Mg on the solidification, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of Al-Mg2Si alloys.
