Effect of tungsten on the solidification process, microstructure and properties of silumin 226

Abstract

The effect of tungsten on the solidification process, microstructure and mechanical properties of silumin 226 under the conditions close to equilibrium during pressure die casting was discussed. An increase in both mechanical and plastic properties of the pressure die cast silumin with 0.3-0.4 wt. % W was demonstrated.

Keywords: silumin, tungsten, mechanical properties, crystallization, ATD curves,
