10%
SiC Addition to Aluminum |
|
The aluminum with
10% SiC addition meets the minimum requirements for modulus and strength, compared to the
unreinforced C 355-T6.
The fluidity of the
aluminum with 10% SiC addition exceed the minimum fluidity requirements at the 775C
pouring temperature.
-- It is
approximately 10% more fluid
than
the Al-20% SiC alloy.
But the specific modulus (modulus
divided by the density) for the 10% SiC addition is 11% lower than the
specific modulus for the 20% SiC addition (127.7 x 10^6 vs 143.1 x 10^6 in)
