Abstract
The assimilation of cylindrical specimens, manufactured with various proportions of strontium, magnesium, and aluminum, into A356 aluminum alloy melts was investigated. These cylindrical specimens were made as Sr–Mg binary alloys and subsequently as Sr–Mg–Al ternary alloys. Experimental details on the making of these cylinders are presented. A unique melting and casting apparatus was build to melt, mix and cast the reactive metals: strontium and magnesium.
Among the various Sr–Mg and Sr–Mg–Al alloys examined the ternary ones, namely 50/25/25 Sr/Mg/Al and 60/20/20 Sr/Mg/Al, exhibited the highest recoveries in the liquid A356 aluminum alloy. In both alloys these high recoveries were observed at 725 °C. The estimated recoveries at this temperature are comparable to that of pure strontium modifier.
