Malgorzata Warmuzek - Aluminum-Silicon Casting Alloys: Atlas of Microfractographs

& 8220;This atlas of microfractographs—fracture images seen under a

microscope, includes both profile and surface views of the specimens,

and comprises a systematic documentation of aluminumsilicon

alloys with relevant descriptions. The challenges of fractography

are discussed in a comprehensive manner. The atlas

contains images of fractures obtained during laboratory testing of

mechanical properties. A set of images covers hypoeutectic, eutectic,

and hypereutectic (mainly permanent mold) cast aluminumsilicon

alloys. The surface of fractures visible under highresolution

scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are shown together

with subsurface effects on metallographic specimens normal to the

fracture plane, observed with light microscopy.

This book also deals with the physical, crystallographic, and

microstructural aspects of the formation of aluminum-silicon cast

alloys as they relate to mechanical properties. The criteria of fracture

classification are established along with a set of the most

important data on the morphology of the basic types of fractures

that occur in metals used in structures. These may be used as a basis

in the classification of fractures and in an assessment of the fracture

path, its mechanism, and conclusions on the possible causes of a

failure.

The alloys presented in this atlas are commercially important as

their high strength-to-weight ratios make them suited for applications

where reduction of weight is a design consideration, such as

in automobile engine blocks, gear boxes, aerospace castings, and

consumer products, as well as in marine and architectural uses.

This book is an English version of the atlas that was published

in Poland in 2000. The author wishes to acknowledge her teacher

Professor Stanisław Gorczyca, one of the pioneers of electron

microscopy in Poland, to whom she is indebted for helping her

finding a place in the world of technology. The author wishes to

thank George Vander Voort, FASM, who brought this work to the

attention of ASM International and Dr. Jerzy Tybulczuk (Foundry

Research Institute) for support in the conception of this book.& 8221;
