ÜRETİM ŞARTLARININ YERÇEKİMİNE TERS DÖKÜM YÖNTEMİYLE ÜRETİLEN PARÇALARIN YAPI VE MEKANİK ÖZELLİKLERİNE ETKİLERİ

Bu çalışmada, döküm sıcaklığı ve basıncının yaş kum kalıplar kullanılarak geleneksel yerçekimi (gravity casting) ve yerçekimine ters döküm (counter gravity casting) yöntemleri ile üretilen Al-% 10 Si alaşımının yapı ve mekanik özelliklerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Alaşıma ait numuneler 600, 640 ve 690°C sıcaklıklarda 100, 200, 250, 300 ve 500 mmHg vakum seviyelerinde dökülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar, yerçekimine ters döküm yöntemiyle üretilen parçaların geleneksel döküm yöntemiyle üretilen parçalarda daha üstün mekanik özellikleresahip olduklarını göstermiştir.

EFFECTS OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON THE STRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PARTS PRODUCED BY COUNTER GRAVITY CASTING PROCESS

In this study, the effects of pouring temperature and pressure on structure and mechanical properties of Al - 10%Si alloys produced by green sand mold traditional gravity casting and counter gravity casting methods wereinvestigated. The specimens were poured at 600, 640 and 690°C temperature under 100, 200, 250, 300 and 500mmHg vacuum level. The results showed that improved mechanical properties were obtained by counter gravitycasting process
