Abstract
In general, the binary monotectic alloys are characterized by the limited solubility in the liquid state, which gives them a benefited tribological behavior such as wear resistance. Researches regarding the development of monotectic alloy microstructures during the unsteady-state heat flow conditions are fundamental, as it encompasses most of the solidification industrial processes. However, the microstructural relationship between the mechanical properties of monotectic alloys is little explored and practically nil. In this context, the present study consists of investigating and correlating solidification thermal variables and structural parameters such as microhardness and machinability (cutting temperatures and tool wear) of Al-1.2wt% Pb alloy, in a horizontal directional device. It was observed that the cutting temperature and tool wear results complement each other when correlated with position and interphase spacing, indicating that for smaller interphase spacings the addition of lead harms machinability.
