Abstract
The casting defects, microstructure and hardness of Elektron 21 Mg sand casting alloy was investigated. Visual and radiographic examination showed the presence of non-metallic inclusions and porosity. Quantitative analysis of microstructure was performed, no correlation between section thickness, grain size, volume fraction of eutectic areas and hardness was observed. Casting defects were responsible for cracking at magnesium casting/steel tube interface.
