SCOPE The material defined by
2、this specification is a eutectic silicon aluminum alloy suitable for permanent mold casting, which contains copper, nickel and magnesium to enhance elevated temperature properties. This material is an anodizing grade. 2. APPLICATION This material specification was released originally for automotive
3、gasoline engine pistons where mechanical properties at elevated temperature, dimensional stability and wear resistance are required. This material should not be used in applications where any measurable amount of ductility is required. Due to the higher silicon content, this material will be more di
4、fficult to machine than standard structural aluminum alloys. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements for Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A) 3.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS Sampling locations
5、 for requirements of this specification shall be as specified on Engineering Drawing, Engineering Specification or in suppliers control plan. For pistons, microstructure-sampling locations shall include the pin bore region, which is generally the slowest solidifying with the coarsest silicon particl
6、e size; and may also include ring groove(s) and skirt(s). Tensile test bars shall be taken from the crown region near the pin bore or other approved location. 3.3 CASTING QUALITY (ASTM E 155 or Approved Alternate) The finished component shall be free from laps, cold shuts, dross and sludge; and shal
7、l have minimal eutectic segregation/depletion. Shrinkage and gas porosity shall be kept to a minimum and any porosity present shall not adversely affect the function of the component. Radiographic assessment levels for gas and shrinkage porosity, if required, shall be according to methods of ASTM E
8、155 and requirements defined on the Engineering Drawing or Engineering Specification.

15、 3.6 MICROSTRUCTURE (ASTM E 3) Microstructure shall consist of primary silicon crystallites in an acicular (needle-like) aluminum silicon matrix containing uniformly distributed intermetallic compounds. Grain size of primary aluminum, size and distribution of silicon, copper and intermetallic compou
16、nds shall be suitable to produce a consistent anodized surface. Specific requirements for anodizing, if required, will be as specified in one or more of the following documents: WSS-M4P12-A1, Engineering Drawing or Engineering Specification. Silicon particles must be randomly distributed and average
17、 10 to 50 microns in diameter, with no edge length of any particle to exceed 100 microns. High performance pistons may require finer silicon particle size. Surface depletion of primary silicon crystals should be kept to a minimum. 3.7 T6 HEAT TREATMENT A T6 heat treatment shall be used to improve pr
18、operties and dimensional stability; and meet all requirements of this specification. All times shown below are time-at-temperature for casting (not furnace temperatures). Select a solution temperature between 495 515 C and hold for a minimum of one hour prior to water quenching. Select an aging temp
19、erature between 195 240 C. Artificially age castings at the selected temperature for 4 - 8 hours. Selected solution/aging temperature must be maintained at +/- 5 C for duration of cycle. Heat treatment shall be in accordance with Ford Global Manufacturing Standard W-HTX, Control of Heat Treating Pro
20、cesses and Auxiliary Equipment. Specific heating/cooling and aging practice or any deviation to the above shall form part of the supplier control plan and any deviation from the requirement above must be specified on the Engineering Drawing. 4.
