Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Correlação entre condições de solidificação, microestrutura a resistência mecânica(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1999-02-02) QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; GARCIA, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1721691084829002Correlation among solidification conditions, microstructure and mechanical behavior / The imposition of a wide range of operational conditions in foudry and static casting generates, as a direct consequence, a diversity of solidification structures. Structural parameters such as grain size and interdendrictic spacings are highly influenced by the thermal behavior of the metal/mold system. during solidification, consequently imposing a close correlation between the described system and the resulting microstructure. The mechanical properties of an alIoy in its crude state of solidification depend on the microstructural arrangement defined in the solidification process. Under the circumstances, the mechanical behavior of the alIoy, represented by stresses and/or strains, wilI be defined by grain size, interdendritic spacings, casual porosities, segregated products and other phases. Expressions correlating the mechanical behavior with microstructural parameters are very useful in order to search for a type of previous planning of the solidification conditions in terms of a determined leveI of mechanical resistance which is intended to be attained, e.g. to settle a way of programming the microstructure and the mechanical properties as well. Particularly, the literature in this field presents relations between the yield strength of the material and the grain size, such as the renowned HalI-Petch's equation. The present work advances in that direction, in search of relations among mechanical behavior in the plastic field, secondary dendritic spacings and solidification conditions. In order to analyze an important variable of solidification in molds with good heat diffusivity, like the metal/mold heat transfer coefficient, alloys of the Sn-Pb system - with compositions Sn- 5%Pb, Sn- 10%Pb, Sn- 20%Pb, Sn- 38,1%Pb (eutectic) - besides the element tin, were chosen. The choice was made because such alloys are easily handled in laboratory and chiefly because their thermophysical properties are well known. Particularly the influences of the following operational conditions on hi were investigated: mold thickness, liquid metal superheating and magnitude of the solidification range. Experimental results related to the distribution of temperatures in metal and mold during solidification, as compared with the results of simulation with a numerical model, made it possible to attain of expressions, for each case, by relating hi in terms of time. Heat transfer from the external surface of the mold to the environment was also analyzed; in the same manner, expressions were developed correlating the mold/environment heat transfer coefficient hAmb in terms of time as well. To correlate parameters of dendritic structures and mechanical properties, the following alloys of the Al-Cu system were chosen: Al- 4,5%Cu; Al- 15%Cu. The same aforementioned analysis referring to hi and hAmb was extended to those alloys including the one of eutectic composition (Al- 33%Cu) and pure aluminum. Based upon results of standardized solidification tests, secondary dendritic spacing ( EDS ) and upon mathematical models of heat transfer and dendritic growth, expressions were developed correlating the ultimate tensile strength (σu) and specific elongation (δ) as a function of variables of the metallmold system. Thus it was a way towards the programming of the dendritic structure and the leveI of resistance as a function of preestablished operational conditions in the solidification process.
