Castability and mechanical properties of new 7xxx aluminum alloys for automotive chassis/body applications

Effects of steel type and sandblasting pretreatment on the solid-liquid compound casting characteristics of zinc-coated steel/aluminum bimetals

“…with the A356 alloy melt was evaluated by the sessile drop test. A poor wettability between molten metals and mold walls causes a bigger back pressure in a thinner cavity casting condition, leading to a poor mold filling and low fluidity [21,22]. Fig.…”

A Novel Technique to Prepare Cast Al-bearing alloy/Wrought Steel Bimetallic Specimen for Interfacial Shear Strength

“…Usually aluminum is used with steel backing and the bonding strength between the aluminum and steel is critical. The combination of steel with aluminum alloys is also under high demand in automobile industry [5] due to the fact that specific mechanical performance of aluminum are combined with the high mechanical properties of steels to resolve the issue between safety and fuel economy [6].…”

Evaluation of Surface Roughness by Image Processing of a Shot-Peened, TIG-Welded Aluminum 6061-T6 Alloy: An Experimental Case Study

“…In the past two decades, owing to the good mechanical properties, i.e., high strength to weight ratio, good thermal and electrical conductivity, aluminum and its alloys have been used in versatile engineering applications such as marine vessels, automobiles, railway cars, and aircraft [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”
