So nothing to hide I guess. What do u...

    aluminium sand casting porosity

    Hi sbi! The core venting is not a problem as we get problemswith nad without cores.Strontium makes a big difference. Hi etch! U r right about the weather and the catalyst,it makes a difference.But we had the same additions last year and didnt have such problems.We run at 80-90% reclaimed sand...

    Hi etch, we cast our test bars according to EN 1706 in sand casting,but we add some material and machine them.I had some bars pulled at another source and get the same results.They do their on bars and are successful but they have low pressure die casting. Do u know any source on the web where a...

    356 aluminium sand casting elongation values

    We are also having difficulties to reach high elongation in our test bars.We cast 18mm dia. test bar according to EN1706 and are reaching 3,5% elongation with AlSi7Mg T6. I think an important issue is what kind of test bar(shape,size) and how exactly it is cast(gating,chills,...). So,if anyone...
