Abstract:Aluminium whose Silicon as its main alloying element, i.e. Silumin, is widely applied in engineering due to its novel properties. For particular application, e.g. as block engine of seawater vessel, Silumin’s properties must be enhanced, e.g. strength at elevated temperature, hardenability and corrosion resistance. For those purposes, Nickel and Copper is added to Silumin in this work. As a result, Copper addition by 4.1 %wt increases Silumin density by 13.9 % from 2.95 to 3.36 g/cm3, decreases grain size by 3… Show more
