Abstract

The effects of silicon content and melt treatment on the fluidity of Al-Si alloys during squeeze casting were investigated. The fluidity of Al-3.0 wt%Si alloy was found to be lower than that of Al-1.0 wt%Si and the fluidity of the alloy with more than 3.0 wt%Si increased with the silicon content upto 13.0 wt% and rather decreased with15.0 wt%. The fluidity was also increased by the separated treatment of grain refinement or eutectic modification, and even more by the simultaneous treatment of both. The fluidity of hypereutectic alloy was increased by the refinement of primary silicon particle.
