A-356 TYPE ALUMINUM CAST ALLOY. PART II. EFFECT OF BERYLLIUM CONCENTRATION

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0437110 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This investigation was conducted to determine the effect of variations of beryllium content on the mechanical properties and part strengths of high purity 356-T6 type aluminum alloys. Results are reported that were obtained from a series of similar Tee - shaped test castings, poured by two foundries in both sand and permanent mold, using metal of six different compositions. The Tees of all chemistries were solution heat treated similarly and were aged for various times at two temperatures.
