Effect of Titanium Levels on the Hot Tearing Sensitivity and Abnormal Grain Growth After T4 Heat Treatment of Al–Zn–Mg–Cu Alloys
Abstract
In this paper, the castability of Al–6wt%Zn–2wt%Mg–2wt%Cu alloy with different titanium levels was investigated with a constrained rod casting (CRC) mold. With the increasing level of titanium, the hot tearing sensitivity (HTS) index decreased from the value of 17 (without Ti) to the value of 7 (0.06 wt% of Ti). But further increasing of titanium weight percentage will deteriorate the castability of the alloys. The HTS index increased from the …
