The structures and mechanical properties of unidirectionally solidified Al-Fe-Ni alloy

일방향응고시킨 Al-Fe-Ni 합금의 조직과 기계적 성질

The examination for the changes of structures and mechanical properties in directionally solidified Al-Fe-Ni alloys containing the small amount of Fe and Ni was carried out by the varying the composition and solidification rate R of alloy, provided that the temperature gradient was 80 .deg.C/cm. The result were obtained as follows. A) In proportion to the increase of the solidification rate (R), the crystallized phase of this alloy was changed from the Ribbon-type structure to the Rod-type structure. B) The strength was rapidly increased in the changing process of composite shape from the Ribbon-type to the Rod-type with the solidification rate (R) increasing. C) The fiber stress (${\sigma}^f$) and Young's modulus ($E_f$) calculated for the Rod-type structure were 220 kg/$mm^2$ and 11, 800 kg/$mm^2$ respectively, which were in good accord with the rule of Mixtures.
