Characteristics of Al-Si Alloys with High Melting Point Elements for High Pressure Die Casting

This paper is devoted to the possibility of increasing the mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness) of high pressure die casting (HPDC) hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys by high melting point elements: chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten. EN AC-46000 alloy wa...
