These defects cause costly scrap loss and limit the use of castings in critical, high-strength applications. In this paper, the effect of alloying elements Si, Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu, Sr, and Ti as well as the cooling rate on the amount of porosity retained in aluminum castings has been quantified. The density of samples taken from locations along the length of a plate cast in sand is measured using Archimedes' principle following <em>ASTM</em><span> procedures. Hot isostatically pressed samples are used to determine the theoretical density of each of the alloys. The percent porosity is calculated from the difference between theoretical and measured density. The relative contribution of each of the alloying elements to porosity formation is calculated using analysis of variance. Scanning electron microscopy of some samples is performed to correlate the results obtained from analysis of variance to the intermetallics formed. It is observed that the morphology of the intermetallics greatly affects feedability of the alloy.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Light Metals","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 251-265"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1471-5317(02)00002-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72110108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corrosive environment (3.5% NaCl) significantly decreases fatigue life of alloys, especially for extruded alloys. The fatigue data at high stresses were analyzed using fitting equations. Extruded alloys show a higher sensitivity to the action of NaCl solution in comparison with die-cast alloys; however, their corrosion fatigue life is longer than that of die-cast alloys. Corrosion fatigue behavior of Mg alloys correlates with their mechanochemical behavior. The latter was studied by the polarization measurements of the dissolution rate of strained alloys. TEM observations confirmed that the maximums on the curves of Mg dissolution rate dependence on the strain in NaCl solution appeared at the work-hardening stages due to the creation and destruction of dislocation pile-ups.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Light Metals","volume":"1 3","pages":"Pages 179-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1471-5317(01)00011-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72106265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
