Abstract

In the present study, in-situ real-time observation with an X-ray radioscopic facility was carried out on pure aluminum and aluminum alloy solidification. The three kinds of aluminum alloys, such as pure aluminum, Al-8.5%Si alloy, commercial A356 (AC4C) alloys, were used in the present study. The formations of the shrinkage defects in the castings were visualized and different formation phenomena for different aluminum alloys were investigated.
