Effect of Mg Content and Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Low Pressure Die-Cast 380 Alloy

The present study was carried out on a 380 alloy containing 9.13% Si, 3.22% Cu, 1.01% Fe, 0.06% Mg, 0.16% Mn, and 2.28% Zn. The magnesium level was increased to 0.3 and 0.55%, by adding pure Mg to the melt. Tensile and fatigue samples were produced using low pressure die casting. The results show th...
