At the present work, experiments were made with the unrefined alloy Al – 0,6%Mg - 0,8%Si, with variations in copper content (0,05% e 0,3%), that aimed to evaluate two aspects of the alloy behavior. The first aspect concerns the affinity between it and the mold, which seeks to observe the effect of the solidification thermal variables of the structure of molten and the correlation with mechanical and electrical properties, the second aspect is related with the intrinsic behavior of the variation on the chemical composition subject at low speed and cooling rates. For evaluating the solidification thermal variables (liquidus isotherms velocities, cooling rates) was used a device for horizontal unidirectional solidification. The ingots produced from the solidification of the alloy rose by mechanical machining, laminating and steel drawing, examined in different positions and diameters, by testing the traction and electric conductivity. Fractures were analyzed in terms of micro cavities and different levels of copper and it was found that in the cold deformed material, the limit of tensile strength has a trend of growth for the alloys of higher concentration of copper. The measured values have also concluded that the electrical conductivity increases the greater the diameter of the micro cavities and lower the copper content. In order to evaluate only the intrinsic variation behavior of the alloy chemical composition, a second device was used for solidification, mold in "U", painted internally in solution of kaolin that attaches to such low rates of cooling. The results show that for both copper content there is a tendency of increase in the limit of tensile strength with increasing reduction suffered by the samples, the limit of tensile strength greater for the alloy with higher copper content. We attach this behavior to the higher content of solute which in turn showed better response to plastic deformation, compressing the material. However, the electrical characterization occurs in an opposite way, as seen in unidirectional solidification, where the lowest copper content was more efficient.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) FEITOSA, Johnyson Pereira; QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7443111804471290
The 6101 alloy (series 6xxx) was modified with addition of 0.05% and 0.3% of copper and with additions of grain refiners as Al-Ti-B. The alloys were thermally characterized (heat transfer coefficient of metal / mold, displacement speed of liquidus isothermal and cooling rate), mechanically (tensile strength and toughness module) and electrically (electric resistivity, specific resistance and power conductivity) using two forms of pouring out: one is horizontal directional solidification and the other into the "U" mold. By horizontal directional solidification was possible characterize the macrostructure, influenced by refiners of grain and by viscosity that copper provides in the metal / mold efficiency of alloys researched, modifying the thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. The solidification in "U" mold makes possible evaluates the mechanical and electrical properties, seeing the forming process variables of alloys, as forming rate, tensile strength, toughness and electric resistivity, power conductivity and electric resistance, using the specimens obtained in several diameters. For the “U” mold were casting more two alloys to evaluation, Al-0,6Mg-0,4Si-0,1Cu and Al-0,6Mg-0,4Si-0,2Cu. The mechanical and electrical properties had been influenced by cold working, copper content and shrinkage void presents into alloys structures.

The knowledge of the properties of the thermophysics is extremely important to the study of the metallic alloys obtained from the solidification, once this one it is directly related to the heat transfer coefficient at the metal / mold interface. Thus, the researchers group of metallurgy and environment – GAPEMM of Federal University of Pará develops a line of research that proposes to develop techniques and procedures which has as main objective to determine them. On the other side, it is known that there is a significant correlation among process, structure, and properties obtained from a material during solidification. Since the distribution of solute in a metallic alloy occurs in a heterogeneous way. The way the solidification happens and the quantification of the varieties involved in the process has fundamental influence in the properties of the material. The present study used alloys Al-Cu (Al-2%Cu, Al-5%Cu e Al-8%Cu) obtained from a process upward directional solidification, made through one dispositive planned, constructed and calibrated by gapemm. Through these researches, there’s the intention to study the specific heat as it gets away the plate mold as well as the raise of the solute content. To do this, it was used a technique known in the literature as the Newton´s law cooling, which makes it possible through the curves of temperature x time to determine the necessary temperatures that will allow the calculation of the specific heat.

Influência da adição de nanotubos de carbono nas propriedades mecânicas da liga AL-2%NI solidificadas direcionalmente
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-11-27) NASCIMENTO, Luiz Gabriel da Silva; SÁ, Fernando Antônio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8275621144223544; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
In this work, we produced a hypoeutectic Al-2wt%Ni matrix, to which we added various concentrations of carbon nanotubes, in order to evaluate the evolution of the mechanical strength of the new material. The manufacturing process occurred by melting and ascending unidirectional abrupt cooling, with extraction of the heat transient and determination of the thermal variables involved in the solidification. Scanning Electron Microscopy images show how the nanotubes are settled in the matrix, and by means of Raman Spectroscopy, we were able to determine the “D” and “G” bands and analyze the action of the process over them. By means of metallographic and mechanical tests, we were able to characterize the macro and micro-structural behaviors and the mechanical properties. The addition of small quantities of nanotubes led to a significant raise in the mechanical strength of the matrix.

Influência da convecção termossolutal na transição colunar/equiaxial em ligas Al-Si sob condições unidirecionais e transitórias de extração de calor

The macrostructure of cast ingots consists of three different zones, that is, the chill, columnar, and equiaxed zones respectively. The origin of each one has been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical researches in the field of metallurgy because of the well-known correlation between grain structures and mechanical properties. The structure is almost determined in the solidification process, so it is essential to control the solidification process. Despite this effort there is as yet no way that the macrostructure of an ingot can be predicted nor even any clear agreement on how the columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) actually occurs. The CET during solidification has been studied for many years and experimental observations show that the position of the CET and the size of the equiaxed grains is dependent on thermal conditions associated with the casting process including alloy system, alloy composition, melt superheat, mold temperature, mold material, heat-transfer coefficients at the metal-mold interface, cooling rate, casting size, melt convection, transport of solute, and the concentration of nucleating particles. The objective of this contribution is the presentation of experimental results on the CET in three hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys during the horizontal unsteady-state directional solidification in a cooled mold. The thermal contact condition at the metal/mold interface was also standardized with the heat extracting surface being polished. Thermocouples have been connected with the metal, and the time– temperature data have been recorded automatically. A combined theoretical and experimental approach is applied to quantitatively determine the solidification thermal parameters such as transient heat-transfer coefficients, tip growth rates, thermal gradients, and cooling rates which affect the structure transition. The experimental and calculated values have shown a very good agreement. A comparative study between the results of this article and those from the literature proposed to investigate the CET during upward vertical solidification of Al-Si hypoeutectic alloys is also presented.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) NOGUEIRA, Márcio Roberto Alves; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0702326922309672; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0667768010106721
In order to investigate the effect of thermosolutal convection on the primary dendritic spacings of Pb–Sn hypoeutectic alloys, horizontal directional solidification experiments have been carried out. For this purpose, a water-cooled solidification experimental apparatus was developed and specimens were solidified in unsteady state heat flow conditions. A combined theoretical and experimental approach is developed to quantitatively determine the solidification thermal parameters: tip growth rates, thermal gradients and cooling rates. The results also include transient metal/mold heat transfer coefficients, determined from comparisons between the experimental thermal profiles in castings and the simulations provided by a finite difference heat flow program. A comparison between theoretical models that predict primary dendritic spacings with the experimental results generated in this study is conducted. A comparative study between some experimental data of this work and those from the literature proposed to predict the primary dendritic spacings during upward and downward vertical unsteady-state directional solidification of Sn–Pb alloys have is presented. The observation of the microstructures has indicated that the primary dendritic spacings have been affected by the direction of growth, increasing in conditions of horizontal solidification when compared with those obtained during upward and downward vertical solidification of Sn–Pb hypoeutectic alloys analyzed.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-07-04) MOUTINHO, Daniel Joaquim da Conceição; ROCHA, Otávio Fernandes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0702326922309672; MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0667768010106721
This work carry out a theoretical experimental study about the influence of solidification thermal parameters on the columnar to equiaxed transition of Sn 5%Pb, Sn 15%Pb, and Sn 20% Pb and Sn 25% Pb alloys during the horizontal unidirectional solidification process cooled by water which considers the solute convection effects. The tip growth rates and cooling rates have been experimentally calculated and the obtained results are compared with those of a numerical model. The columnar to equiaxed transition position is determined through the macrostructure characterization of the studied alloys. The experimental results have shown that the thermosolutal convection influences the CET occurrence. Finally, a comparative experimental study is done for the studied alloys when directionally solidified in different water-cooled systems.

Method of Lines (MOL) was used to analyze the equations that describe the heat transfer process during solidification of binary alloys. The physical model consisted of simulating the solidification of these alloys based on experimental results available in the literature, obtained in a vertical upward directional solidification device. A computer code based on FORTRAN 90/95 programming language, using the subroutine library DIVPAG IMSL, was developed to numerically solve ordinary differential systems of equations. Thermal variables such as growth rate of liquidus isotherm (VL), thermal gradient (GL) and cooling rate (TR) were determined from the cooling curves for alloys of three different systems used in this study (Al-Sn, Al-Cu and Sn-Pb). Finally, comparisons of numerical results obtained in this study with literature values were performed, demonstrating the potential of the technique used in treating such problems.

The aim is about the solidification structures of thermal parameters is important to mechanic behaviour of the metallic materials. These structures are influenced by means of heat removal conditions of metal/ mould system during the solidification process. Despite of this, some mathematic models have been developed to appraise the structural and thermal variation mainly considering the upright unidirectional solidification process. This research plans to project, construct and check up one device in order to be able to represent the horizontal unidirectional solidification process cooled by water which considers the solute convection effects. To check up the solidification device, a comparative study was done between the representative experimental bend of metal´s thickness solidification related to time to Al-4%Cu, Sn-5%Pb, Sn-15%Pb e Sn-20%Pb alloys. The present results shows positive consonances. The unidirectional aspect of the heat removal constructed was estimate trough the macrostructure characterization of the studied alloys. Finally a comparative study is done between values of the interface metal/mold heat transfer coefficient obtained trough other newly works developed about ascendant and descendent unidirectional solidification process.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-14) COSTA, Giselle Barata; SÁ, Fernando Antonio de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8275621144223544
In this research is carried out a sequence of experiments with Al-Ni hypoeutectic alloys to analyze the upward vertical directional solidification on transient conditions of heat flow. Experimental approaches were developed to quantitative the thermal variables of solidification, as follow: local time solidification; dislocation rate of liquidus isotherms, tip cooling rates and thermal gradients. This study analyzes the dendrite secondary arms spacing in relation to solidification thermal variables and to alloy composition, beyond link these parameters with corrosion resistance of these alloys. These experimental dendrite parameters, concerning to alloys solidification as Al - 1, 1,4 and 1,8%Ni, couldn’t be compared with the main theoretical model of dendrite growth by others researches, because, to alloy studied there shortage of thermophysic properties, impossible this comparison. The corrosive behavior is analyzed by potentiodynamic polarization technique and cyclic polarization technique lead into 3,5%NaCl solution on room temperature, coarse structure dendritics tend to increase the corrosion rates of Al-Ni hypoeutectic alloys. The experimental results obtained by the corrosion tests were correlated with dendrite microstructure. This way, experimental tendencies of growth dendrite were determined to upward vertical directional solidification.
