Abstract:In this project, the addition of scandium (Sc) into A356 aluminium alloy was studied for its effect on the mechanical properties after gravity die casting process. Scandium addition was administered at the weight percentages of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. The results obtained in this work revealed that scandium can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of A356 alloy in terms of tensile strength, hardness and charpy impact strength. In general, the addition of 0.2 wt% Sc in A356 alloy was found to be able to ac… Show more
