Investigations were carried out to ensure the granulated blast furnace (GBF) slag as an alternative mould material in foundry industry by assessing the cast products structure property correlations. Sodium silicate-CO2 process was adopted for preparing the moulds. Three types of moulds were made with slag, silica sand individually and combination of these two with 10% sodium silicate and 20 seconds CO2 gassing time. A356 alloy castings were performed on these newly developed slag moulds. The cast products were investigated for its metallography and mechanical properties. Results reveal that cast products with good surface finish and without any defects were produced. Faster heat transfers in slag moulds enabled the cast products with fine and refined grain structured; and also lower Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS) values were observed than sand mould. Slag mould casting shows improved mechanical properties like hardness, compression, tensile and impact strength compared to sand mould castings. Two types of tensile fracture modes, namely cleavage pattern with flat surfaces representing Al−Si eutectic zone and the areas of broken Fe-rich intermetallic compounds which appear as flower-like morphology was observed in sand mould castings. In contrast, GBF slag mould castings exhibit majority in dimple fracture morphology with traces of cleavage fracture. Charpy impact fractured surfaces of sand mould castings shows both transgranular and intergranular fracture modes. Only intergranular fracture mode was noticed in both GBF slag and mixed mould castings.

Aluminum alloys are one of the most popular casting materials. Their enormous popularity due to a wide set of desired material properties such as high strength properties, low thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal and electrical conductivity, very good casting properties, including castability. The most common group of cast aluminum alloys are silumins, where the main alloy addition is silicon. Al-Si alloys are mainly used in the transport industry and construction applications. Another area of applications using this group of materials is the electrical and power engineering industry, where the crucial meaning has the correlation of two types of properties: electrical and mechanical. This paper presents the influence of alloying elements on the electrical properties and mechanical properties of materials undergoing heat treatment. Heat treatment include solution heat treatment and next aging or overaging. Electrical properties represents the electrical conductivity tested by eddy current method. Mechanical properties are in turn represented by the results of measurements of Brinell hardness. Tests include three alloys belong to hypoeutectic silumins group with silicon content in the range of 4,5 to 7 wt%. Si.
