Abstract

Dissolution of Mg2Si particles and homogenisation in aluminium foundry alloys A356 and A357 have been simulated by a simple numerical diffusion model. The model predicts that dissolution and homogenisation are complete after solution treatment times of less than one hour at 540°C for both alloys. Model predictions have been verified by metallography.
