The paper presents the results of the application of a statistical analysis to evaluate the effect of the chemical composition of the die casting Al-Si alloys on its basic mechanical properties. The examinations were performed on the hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy type EN AC-46000 and, created on its basis, a multi-component Al-Si alloy containing high-melting additions Cr, Mo, W and V. The additions were introduced into the base Al-Si alloy in different combinations and amounts (from 0,05% to 0,50%). The tensile strength Rm; the proof stress Rp0,2; the unit elongation A and the hardness HB of the examined Al-Si alloys were determined. The data analysis and the selection of Al-Si alloy samples without the Cr, Mo, W and V additions were presented; a database containing the independent variables (Al-Si alloy's chemical composition) and dependent variables (Rm; Rp0,2; A and HB) for all the considered variants of Al-Si alloy composition was constructed. Additionally, an analysis was made of the effect of the Al-Si alloy's component elements on the obtained mechanical properties, with a special consideration of the high-melting additions Cr, Mo, V and W. For the optimization of the content of these additions in the Al-Si alloy, the dependent variables were standardized and treated jointly. The statistical tools were mainly the multivariate backward stepwise regression and linear correlation analysis and the analysis of variance ANOVA. The statistical analysis showed that the most advantageous effect on the jointly treated mechanical properties is obtained with the amount of the Cr, Mo, V and W additions of 0,05 to 0,10%.

W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań siluminu z dodatkiem wanadu przeznaczonego do odlewania pod ciśnieniem. Jako stop wyjściowy zastosowano silumin podeutektyczny gatunku EN AC-46000. Do siluminu wyjściowego wprowadzano zaprawę AlV10 w ilości pozwalającej na uzyskanie zawartości wanadu w kolejno wytapianych siluminach po około 0,1; 0,2; 0,3; 0,4 i 0,5% wag. Badaniom poddano zarówno silumin wyjściowy, jak i siluminy zawierające wanad. Badania obejmowały analizę termiczną i derywacyjną (ATD) procesu krystalizacji, analizę metalograficzną mikrostruktury odlewów wykonanych w próbniku ATD i ciśnieniowych oraz określenie podstawowych właściwości mechanicznych siluminu odlewanego ciśnieniowo. Badania ATD wykazały wzrost temperatury początku krystalizacji siluminu oraz brak dodatkowych efektów cieplnych. Badania metalograficzne wykazały zmniejszenie średniej wielkości faz w mikrostrukturze stopu odlewanego do próbnika ATD. W siluminach zawierających 0,3; 0,4 i 0,5% wag. V zarówno płytkowe wydzielenia krzemu eutektycznego, jak i faz międzymetalicznych pochodzących z eutektyk charakteryzują się znacząco mniejszymi maksymalnymi wymiarami w porównaniu z siluminami o mniejszej zawartości V. W mikrostrukturze siluminów odlewanych pod ciśnieniem, które zawierają wanad powstają „nowe” fazy niewystępujące w siluminach niezawierających tego pierwiastka. Są to najprawdopodobniej fazy międzymetaliczne zawierające wanad. Wielkość wydzieleń tych faz rośnie wraz ze zwiększeniem zawartości wanadu w siluminie. Przeprowadzone badania podstawowych właściwości mechanicznych siluminów odlewanych pod ciśnieniem wykazały możliwość uzyskania większych wartości wytrzymałości na rozciąganie Rm, umownej granicy plastyczności Rp0,2 oraz twardości HB siluminów zawierających wanad w porównaniu z siluminami bez tego pierwiastka. Największe wartości: Rm = 248 MPa uzyskano w siluminie zawierającym około 0,3% wanadu; Rp0,2 = 113 MPa przy zawartości 0,1 i 0,2% oraz HB = 116 dla dodatku V około 0,2% wag. Względem siluminu bez dodatku V uzyskane wartości powodują podwyższenie Rm o 26%; Rp0,2 o 12% oraz HB o 7%.

The paper presents the results of the study of Al-Si alloys with a vanadium addition used in pressure casting. The hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy grade EN AC-46000 was applied as the initial alloy. The master alloy AlV10 was introduced into the initial alloy in the amount making it possible to obtain the vanadium content in the consecutively melted Al-Si alloys of about 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0,4 and 0.5 wt. %. The tests were performed on both the initial Al-Si alloy and alloys containing vanadium. The investigations included a thermal and derivative (DTA) analysis of the crystallization process, a metallographic analysis of the microstructure of casts prepared in DTA tester and pressure casts, as well as the determination of the basic mechanical properties of the pressure cast Al-Si alloy. The DTA tests showed an increase in the temperature at the beginning of the Al-Si alloy crystallization and no additional thermal effects. The metallographic examinations demonstrated a decrease of the average phase size in the microstructure of the alloy cast in the DTA tester. In the Al-Si alloys containing 0.3; 0.4 and 0.5 wt. % V, both the lamellar precipitates of eutectic silicon and of the intermetallic phases originating in the eutectics were characterized by significantly lower maximal dimensions, compared to the Al-Si alloys with lower V contents. In the microstructure of the pressure cast Al-Si alloys, which contain vanadium, “new” phases may form, which did not occur in the Al-Si alloys without V. These are probably intermetallic phases containing vanadium. The size of these precipitates increases with the increase of the vanadium content in the Al-Si alloy. The performed tests of the basic mechanical properties of the pressure cast Al-Si alloys showed the possibility of obtaining higher values of tensile strength Rm, proof stress Rp0.2 and hardness HB of the Al-Si alloys containing vanadium, compared to the Al-Si alloys without this element. The highest values: Rm = 248 MPa were obtained in the Al-Si alloy containing about 0.3% vanadium; Rp0.2 = 113 MPa – with the content of 0.1, and 0.2% and HB = 116 for the V addition of about 0.2 wt. %. As regards the Al-Si alloy without a vanadium addition, the obtained values caused an increase of Rm by 26%; Rp0.2 by 12% and HB by 7%.

Structural modification of hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy EN-AC 46000 alloy influences its microstructure and mechanical properties. In a series of examinations the EN-AC 46000 alloy has been doped with Cr, W and Mo. The study involved the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and the light microscopy structural analysis of the samples cut from pressure die castings and from samples cast into the DTA cup. The DTA and microstructure analyses revealed new phases in the alloy doped with mentioned additives. The strength properties measurements of the alloys doped with Cr, W and Mo showed significant improvement in tensile strength and elongation, while preserving good hardness.

This paper presents the results of hypoeutectic 226 grade alloy as well as prepared on its basis Al-Si alloy containing Cr, V and Mo. The additives tested were added as AlCr15, AlV10 and AlMo8 master alloys. Alloys tested were poured into DTA sampler as well as using pressure die casting. An amount of Cr, V and Mo additives in alloy poured into DTA sampler comprised within the range approximately 0.05-0.35%. Alloys to pressure die casting contained 0.05-0.20% Cr, V and Mo. The crystallization process was examined using the derivative thermal analysis (DTA). The microstructure of castings made in the DTA sampler as well as castings made with use of pressure die casting were examined. The basic mechanical properties of castings made using pressure die casting were defined too. It has been shown in the DTA curves of Al-Si alloy containing approximately 0.30 and 0.35% Cr, Mo, and V there is an additional thermal effect probably caused by a peritectic crystallization of intermetallic phases containing the aforementioned additives. These phases have a morphology similar to the walled and a relatively large size. The analogous phases also occur in pressure die casting alloys containing 0.10% or more additions of Cr, V and Mo. The appearance of these phases in pressure die casting Al-Si alloys coincides with a decrease in the value of the tensile strength Rm and the elongation A. It has been shown die castings made of Al-Si alloys containing the aforementioned additives have a higher Rm and A than 226 alloy.

This article presents the results of studies in the hypoeutectic silumin destined for pressure die casting with the simultaneous addition of chromium and tungsten. The study involved the derivative and thermal analysis of the crystallization process, metallographic analysis and mechanical properties testing. Silumin 226 grade was destined for studies. It is a typical silumin to pressure die casting. AlCr15 and AlW8 preliminary alloys were added to silumin. Its quantity allowed to obtain 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4% of Cr and W in the tested alloy. Studies of the crystallization process as well as the microstructure of the silumin poured into DTA sampler allowed to state the presence of additional phase containing 0.2% or more Cr and W. It has not occurred in silumin without the addition of above mentioned elements. It is probably the intermetallic phase containing Cr and W. DTA studies have shown this phase crystallizes at a higher temperature range than α (Al) solid solution. In the microstructure of each pressure die casting containing Cr and W the new phases formed. Mechanical properties tests have shown Cr and W additives in silumin in an appropriate amount may increase its tensile strength Rm (about 11%), the yield strength Rp0.2 (about 21%) and to a small extent elongation A.

Programy komputerowe są aktualnie powszechnym narzędziem wykorzystywanym podczas inżynierskich prac konstruktorskich i projektowych. Projektowanie form ciśnieniowych w oparciu o założenia konstrukcyjne detalu, dzięki możliwości tworzenia brył przestrzennych, umożliwia szybkie przygotowanie dokumentacji technologicznej. Konstruktor ciśnieniowych form odlewniczych, kierując się przesłankami technologicznymi, musi stworzyć odpowiednie warunki dla przepływającego ciekłego metalu, a z drugiej strony – zapewnić odpowiednie odpowietrzenie i chłodzenie formy ciśnieniowej. Możliwość wcześniejszej weryfikacji założeń konstrukcji wnęki formy ciśnieniowej oraz wizualizacja procesu jej wypełniania pozwala na skrócenie czasu, ograniczenie kosztów przygotowania i wdrożenia odlewu do produkcji. Na rynku światowym istnieje wiele programów pozwalających na prowadzenie analizy symulacyjnej procesu odlewania, krzepnięcia oraz innych zjawisk towarzyszących procesom kształtowania odlewu. W artykule przedstawiona została analiza zachowania się powietrza atmosferycznego w warunkach procesu odlewania pod wysokim ciśnieniem. Symulacje komputerowe przeprowadzono w programie Flow-3D, wykorzystując uproszczoną geometrię testową odlewu. Wyniki w postaci wizualizacji zostały przedstawione dla formy ciśnieniowej z oraz bez odpowietrzającej, inżektorowej wkładki „schodkowej”.

Computer programs are now a common tool aiding the engineer’s work on structure design. The design of foundry moulds used in the pressure die casting process, based on the casting design and effectively utilising the ability to create 3D images of solid bodies, allows for quick preparation of technological documentation. The designer of foundry moulds, guided by technological premises, has to create the right conditions for the liquid metal flow and ensure proper die venting and cooling mould pressure. The possibility of early verification of the die cavity design with visualization of how it will be filled with molten metal reduces both time and cost of the casting preparation and implementation into production. There are many programs on the world market that perform simulation and analysis of pouring, solidification, and other phenomena and operations accompanying the casting shaping process. This article presents an analysis of ambient air behaviour under conditions of high pressure die casting. Computer simulations were performed using Flow-3D software on a test casting of simplified geometry. The results were displayed in a visual form for the die with and without the “stepped” venting injector insert.

The paper presents the results of hypoeutectic silumin 226 grade and silumin produced on its basis through the addition of V and Mo. Vanadium and molybdenum were added as the preliminary alloy AlV10 and AlMo8 in an amount providing the concentration of 0.1; 0.2; 0.3 and 0.4% V and Mo. TDA curves of tested silumins were presented; regardless of the chemical composition there were similar thermal effects. Pressure castings microstructure research revealed the presence in silumins with the addition of V and Mo phases do not occur in silumin without these additives. These phases have a morphology similar to the walled, and their size increases with increasing concentration of V and Mo. The size of the precipitates of these phases silumin containing 0.1% V and Mo does not exceed 10 microns, while 0.4% of the content of these elements increases to about 80 microns. Tests of basic mechanical properties of silumins were carried out. It has been shown that the highest values of tensile strength Rm = 295 MPa and elongation A = 4.2% have silumin containing approximately 0.1% V and Mo. Increasing concentrations of these elements causes a gradual lowering of the Rm and A values.

This paper presents the results on the effects of die-casting process on the strength parameters of castings of the aluminium AlSi9Cu3 alloy belonging to the group of EN AB-46000, made on renovated high pressure die-casting machine. Specimens for quality testing were taken from the places of the casting most loaded during the service. The aim of a research was to prove how the new die-casting process control capabilities influence on the tensile strength of the cast material defined as a value of the breaking force of the specimens. It has been found that it is possible to specify a set of recommended settings valves of second (II) and third (III) phase, which are responsible for filling the metal mould on die-casting pressure machine. From the point of view of the finished cast element, it was noticed that exceeding the prescribed values of valve settings does not bring further benefits and even causes unnecessary overload and reduce the durability of the mold. Moreover, it was noticed that reduction of the predetermined setting of the second phase (II) valve leads to the formation of casting defects again.

Recykling stopów magnezu jest zagadnieniem trudnym nie tylko z uwagi na bardzo dużą reaktywność i skłonność do zapalania się tych stopów już poniżej temperatury topnienia, ale i z braku odpowiedniego wyposażenia oraz doświadczenia w tym zakresie w krajowych odlewniach. Niemniej jednak zarówno wymogi ochrony środowiska naturalnego, jak i konieczność zmniejszania kosztów funkcjonowania odlewni, wymagają racjonalnego zagospodarowania złomu obiegowego. Problem ten dotyczy nie tylko odlewni stopów magnezu, ale niemal wszystkich odlewni. Jednak z uwagi na trudną technologię topienia stopów magnezu powszechnie uważa się, że dobre właściwości mechaniczne odlewów z tych stopów można uzyskać jedynie ze stopów pierwotnych (czystych gąsek). Przeprowadzone badania wpływu dodatku złomu obiegowego na właściwości mechaniczne odlewów ciśnieniowych ze stopów magnezu AZ91 i AM50 wykazały, że określony, ściśle kontrolowany dodatek takiego złomu w znacznym stopniu wpływa na zwiększenie nie tylko wytrzymałości na rozciąganie, ale przede wszystkim wzrost plastyczności, co stwarza możliwość szerszego zastosowania odlewów. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki prac nad doborem optymalnej ilości złomu obiegowego we wsadzie na właściwości mechaniczne odlewów ciśnieniowych ze stopu AZ91 i AM50.

Recycling of magnesium alloys is a complex issue not only because of their high reactivity and flammability even below melting temperature, but primarily because of a lack of equipment and experience in foundries. Nonetheless the environmental factors and the economic aspects of magnesium casting processes require the proper use of scrap. The problem relates not only to magnesium foundries but every foundry. However, due to the difficulty of melting and treating magnesium alloys there is a common belief that good mechanical properties can be achieved only by using pure ingots. The present research investigating the effect of process scrap on the mechanical properties of AZ91 and AM50 die cast parts. The results have shown that a particular content of the scrap causes an increase in the tensile strength and in elongation, which can have a profound effect on the applicability of the magnesium alloys. This article presents results of research on the optimum content of process scrap in the melt related to mechanical properties of AZ91 and AM50 die cast parts.

The investigation results of the thermal fatigue resistance of two ADI grades (EN-GJS-1200-2 and EN-GJS-800-8) are presented in the paper. Tests were performed on the author’s research stand, by means of the resistance heating of samples acc. L.F. Coffin method. The thermal fatigue resistance is the basic criterion in assessing the material suitability for metal moulds. The maximal temperature (Tmax) of thermal cycles influence on their number, which the sample can withstand before cracking, were estimated. Structure transformations, hardness and strength changes of the austempered ductile iron (ADI) were analysed. It was found, that at cyclic heating to Tmax <500°C, the ADI retains its primary ausferritic structure, even after more than 10.000 thermal cycles. Such ADI behaviour predisposes it to be applied as a material for metal moulds used in the pressure die casting, it means mainly at casting Mg and Zn alloys as well as for small castings of Al alloys.

Badania prowadzono na autorskim stanowisku badawczym stosując oporowe nagrzewanie próbek, wg metody L.F. Cottina. Odporność na zmęczenie cieplne jest podstawowym kryterium w ocenie przydatności tworzywa (materiału) na formy metalowe, które podlegają cyklicznemu nagrzewaniu. Oceniono wpływ maksymalnej temperatury (Tmax) cykli cieplnych na ich liczbę do pęknięcia próbki, analizowano zmiany struktury żeliwa ADI. zmiany twardości i wytrzymałości. Stwierdzono, iż przy cyklicznym nagrzewaniu do Tmax<500°C, żeliwo ADI zachowuje swoją pierwotną strukturę ausferrytu nawet po wykonaniu ponad 10.000 cykli cieplnych. Takie zachowanie żeliwa ADI predysponuje go jako materiał na formy metalowe stosowane w odlewnictwie ciśnieniowym, a więc przy odlewaniu głównie stopów Mg i Zn, ale również dla mniejszych odlewów wykonywanych ze stopów Al.

This paper presents the effect of the temperature and hold time in the holding furnace of 226 silumin on the characteristic quantities of TDA curves. The temperature of phase transformations and the cooling rate were tested. It has been shown that increasing both the hold time and the temperature in the holding furnace cause the decreasethe end ofα+Al9Fe3Si2+β and α+Al2Cu+β ternary eutectics crystallization temperature in the tested silumin. This is due to the fact an increase in amounts of impurities as a result of reacting the liquid alloy with the gases contained in the air. It has been shown, however, that examined technological factors of the metal preparation do not cause systematic changes in the cooling rate.

Do oceny korzyści wynikających z przeprowadzonej modernizacji posłużono się urządzeniem pomiarowym, które dzięki swojej specyficznej budowie pozwala na określenie wpływu stanu technicznego kokilarki na jakość odlewów wytwarzanych w technice modernizacji i diagnostyki maszyny. Na podstawie analizy wyników przeprowadzonych badań niszczących i nieniszczących wykonanych odlewów, możliwe było powiązanie parametrów ich wytwarzania z aktualnym stanem technicznym odlewniczej maszyny ciśnieniowej.

The article presents the effects of the modernization of the BÜHLER pressure casting machine control system, Type H630-B, in which the PLC controller was changed to more efficient and suitable for data acquisition. To assess the benefits of the modernization diagnostic device was used, which due to their specific elements allows to determine the impact of the technical state of die casting machine on the quality of castings made with an alloy EN AB-46000 (AlSi9Cu3). The possibilities of modernization and diagnostic equipment were shown. Based on the analysis of destructive and non-destructive research results of made castings, it was possible to determine a relation between the parameters of their production and the current technical condition of the pressure die casting machine.
