Assessment of creep behaviour of the die-cast cylinder-head alloy AlSi6Cu4-T6
-
Anja Dehler
Abstract
Mechanical properties of a T6-AlSi6Cu4 cylinder-head alloy are investigated at 4 stress levels up to 545 K through tensile and compressive test to assess creep damage. The effect of over-ageing for 200 h at comparable temperatures was studied through RT hardness tests. Creep behaviour was characterised by a minimum creep rate and an extended steady state was not observed. No threshold stresses were apparent from minimum creep rate vs. stress plots at any of the temperatures studied here. Apparent stress exponents were both temperature and stress dependent and the apparent creep activation energy was 2–3 times the lattice selfdiffusion activation energy for aluminium. The Norton plot was best described by an exponential relation. The total strain to failure exhibited a maximum for a particular applied stress and decreases for both higher and lower applied stress. Creep life is well described by the Monkman– Grant relation at the highest temperature, but exhibits deviations from the idealised behaviour at the lower test temperatures.
