An Investigation onWear Properties of A390 Alloy by Rare Alloying Elements Giulio Timelli, Reza Haghayeghi, Giulia Scampone and Alessandro De Mori Abstract Hypereutectic Al–Si alloys are good candidates for many applications including automotive industry and heavy wear environments. Among them, A390 is widely used for cylinder blocks, transmission pumps, and air compressor housings. Due to…
Effect of pressure cycles and thermal conditions on the reliability of a high-pressure diecast Al alloy heating radiator Giulio Timelli, Alessandro De Mori, Reza Haghayeghi The fatigue reliability of a diecast AlSi11Cu2(Fe) alloy radiator has been investigated at different pressure amplitudes and thermal exposure. Based on failure mode analysis, two failure mechanisms are observed…
Reliability of a high-pressure die cast Al alloy radiator Giulio Timelli, Alessandro De Mori, Reza Haghayeghi The resistance to pressure of a diecast AlSi11Cu2(Fe) alloy radiator has been studied at various holding temperatures. A recently developed method to seal the bottom opening of the radiator element has been presented and its reliability has been…
