Abstract

This paper deals with the study of Mechanical properties (Percussion resistance, Ultimate and Yield strength) of cast alloy Cu₂Mg₈Si₆Al₅. It has been developed by addition of Al-Cu-Si with 83.334% Al, 16.23% Cu and 0.165% Si. Solidification of Al-Cu-Si alloys has been realized by melting of industrial and machine shop scrap in a pit type resistance furnace with a clay graphite crucible and casting in green sand moulds at maximum temperature of 640°C. The outcome final castings were then machined according to ASTM-A 370 standards for the percussion, ultimate and yield strength of specimen. The results on the basis of various trails of microstructure and practical approach depicted that Cu and Si addition increased the Percussion strength as well as Ultimate and Yield strength for the alloy, while iron addition reduces. However, addition of manganese neutralized the detrimental effects of the iron, which presented in the industrial scrap. The results are given a good agreement with the existing literature on alloys which can be widely used for industrial applications like automobile, aero space, defence etc.
