For aluminum engine cylinder heads made with the alloy described in this specification, the microst

14、ructure shall be as follows. Eutectic modification shall be achieved with strontium, which shall be added to the alloy just before injection of parts (see “general information“). Manganese is added to form the Chinese script phase in the iron rich intermetallics phases and minimize the beta Fe phase

GENERAL INFORMATION This specification was developed for cylinder head castings made in the “as-cast“ con

16、dition. The alloy may be delivered in both liquid and solid (ingot) form. The strontium is added to the alloy just before casting to prevent fading. A late addition of titanium-bearing alloy is used to produce grain refinement. The best mechanical properties are obtained with the smallest grain size (typically 25 - 40 micron range). Manganese is added equal a minimum of: Mn = 0.5 X wt%Fe to enhance formation of the Fe-Mn-Si Chinese script phase and to minimize amount of the brittle beta Fe phase.
