A Study on the effects of Squeeze Pressure on Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Wear Characteristics of Near-Eutectic Al-Si Piston Alloys with variable Cu contents.
Abstract:
This paper discusses the effects of squeeze pressure on the microstructure, wear characteristics and the mechanical properties of near eutectic Al-Si piston alloys with variable Copper (Cu) content. The paper starts with a description of Al-Si alloys and the features that make them desirable for use as piston alloys. The impact of alloying elements on the mechanical properties, microstructure and wear characteristics are also discussed where it is determined that adding alloying elements such as Continue reading...
