Effects of Fe, Si, Cu, and TiB<sub>2</sub> Grain Refiner Amounts on the Hot Tearing Susceptibility of 5083, 6061, and 7075 Aluminum Ingots

Aluminum alloys 5083, 6061, and 7075 are prone to hot tearing under direct-chill casting conditions; the defects that form during solidification of those alloys are highly sensitive to variation in the alloying elements, with these elements commonly being Si, Fe, Cu, and Ti. This study investigates...
