Casting Xx Alloys Containing Magnesium And Manganese
Casting alloys of the A1 Mg-Si system are discussed in Chapter 2, here we only consider the effect of Mn on solidification paths in A356.0-type alloys. The main implication of Mn on the sequence of solidification in this type of alloys is the occurrence of two eutectic reactions with the formation of the Al15 FeMn 3Si2 phase. The amount of this phase is larger at higher cooling rates. Backerud et al. 1990 suggested schematic solidification paths that are relevant to A356-type alloys with and...

A stringent analysis of 2618-type alloys requires the five-component Al-Cu-Fe-Mg-Ni phase diagram, because these alloys contain enough copper and magnesium to produce the Al2CuMg phase see composition in Table 7.1 . As this phase diagram is yet to be constructed, we present here a simplified analysis of the phase composition of this type of alloys, using constitutive phase diagrams and considerable experimental data on the structure of 2618-type alloys.
