Abstract:The A319 alloy is based in Al-Si system, its principal characteristics are high castability to produce parts with complex forms due to Si content, good machinability, light weight and optimal combination of strength and ductility. Their major applications are in the automotive industry as a material to manufacture pistons, engine blocks and cylinder heads. The T6 heat treatment is used to improve the mechanical performance of such components due to the precipitation of θ' and θ''-Al2Cu semi-coherent and metast… Show more
