Investigation of Thermal Parameters Effects on the Microstructure, Microhardness and Microsegregation of Cu-Sn alloy Directionally Solidified under Transient Heat Flow Conditions

The microstructure and mechanical properties of cast materials are strongly dependent on the thermal history during solidification process. The global casting industry has faced major challenges, i.e., customers increasingly demand completely finished cast parts as well as complexity of casting alloys are rising. Therefore, the previous knowledge the solidification conditions effects on the as-cast ingot microstructure and mechanical properties resulting is very useful in the casting industry in order to improve the casting quality. In this present paper, the thermal parameters effects on the ...
