Abstract:
The overall distribution of mechanical properties of A357 aluminum alloy connection beam casting after solidification and T6 heat treatment was researched in this paper, through the mechanics performance test, metallographic microstructure observation, SEM and EDS scanning analysis of the fracture surface, the ensemble mechanical properties of connection beam casting was characterized. The results show that owing to the low cooling rate nearby the arc thick-walled department and the trasition region between the thick and thin-walled of the connection beam casting, leading to the morphology of the crystalline grains and silicon particles in this vicinity are thick. Some casting defects such as oxide inclusions located in the lateral stud district were caused by the strong erosion of high temperature melting liquid during the pouring process, resulting in the mechanical properties decreased significantly, casting defects were not eliminated in the T6 heat treatment process. Due to both the high cooling rate and the smooth pouring process among the thin-wall, forward stud and square box region of A357 aluminum connection beam casting, after the solid solution and limitation strengthening of T6 heat treatment, resulting in the overall mechanical properties were higher than other areas. The tensile strength has reached 360.96MPa, also with the yield strength and elongation respectively attained 297.95MPa and 8.82 %.
