Effect of cooling rate on solidification characteristics of aluminum alloys A356 and AA5182

Microstructural reactions during solidification of aluminum alloys A356 (unmodified and strontium modified) and AA5182 were analyzed using cooling curve analysis to determine the evolution in fraction solid. The experiments involved recording the temperature/time data under different cooling rate...
