Influence of B and Nb Additions and Heat Treatments on the Mechanical Properties of Cu-Ni-Co-Cr-Si Alloy for High Pressure Die Casting Applications

During the high pressure die casting process (HPDC), it is necessary to develop new designs and alloys for the copper plungers. In this research, two alloys Cu-9Ni-1Co-1.6Cr-2Si-1.3Fe-0.25B wt.% (A1) and Cu-9Ni-1Co-1.6Cr-2Si-0.1Fe-0.2Nb wt.% (A2) under different heat treatments (HT) were studied. Op...
