Effect of Sc on the Hot Cracking Properties of 7xxx Aluminum Alloy and the Microstructure of Squeeze Castings

In this paper, the effect of adding the refiner Sc to the high Zn/Mg ratio 7xxx series aluminum alloy melt on the hot tearing performance, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the alloy is studied. The hot tearing performance test (CRC) method is used to evaluate the hot tearing performance...
