Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate the fluidity and mechanical properties of the Al-Si alloy by varying the copper content at three different temperatures with the effect of grain refinement. In this present examination a humble endeavour has been made to know the properties with an ease strategy for sand casting system. Al- Si aluminium alloy is chosen as the base material and copper powder; grain refinement and scrap were added as the compositions. The investigation has been furnished by variying the weight percentage of copper (0-4%), scrap (20-40%) and grain refinement (0-0.4%). Test examples were exposed to various testing conditions and properties have been upgraded. The tensile strength of the material increases with increase of percentage of copper content and the fluidity is balanced by addition of grain refinement. The comparison between microstructure images at 0% copper and 4% copper shows the variation of grain sizes.
