Impact of the Ultrasonic-Assisted Casting of an AlSi7Mg Alloy on T6 Heat Treatment

In this work, the effect of ultrasonic vibration during solidification on the aging kinetics of an AlSi7Mg alloy is investigated. With the ultrasonic equipment coupled to the mold walls, melt treatment was performed by two approaches: (i) fully above liquidus (>635 °C); and (ii) in the full range...
