Abstract
The competition between pores and hidden entrainment defects during tensile testing of specimens from Al-Si-Cu alloy high-pressure die castings has been characterized. In all tests, multiple strain concentrations have been identified by using the digital image correlation technique and the final fracture has been preceded by a competition between pores and hidden damage, later identified as oxide bifilms. The results have confirmed previous findings that overall damage to the metal during its liquid state is much more extensive than what can be assessed via X-ray inspection, which looks only for pores. It is concluded that current quality assurance techniques need to be updated.
