The Paint Bake Intervention: The Effect of Paint Bake Treatment on Al-Fe (Zn, Mg) Alloy Castings for Structural Automotive Application
Abstract
The Al-Fe-based eutectic alloy featuring Zn and Mg as precipitation strengtheners was used to manufacture test plates using high-vacuum high-pressure die casting (HVHPDC). The castings have previously exhibited natural ageing with mechanical properties rising to meet up with the industry benchmark within 3 days of natural ageing in the as-cast condition. Attempting to mimic the industrial process to which some of this alloy will be deployed, …
