Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the advantages in using semisolid processing of Al-Sn alloys in order to improve microstructural homogeneity and, consequently, wear resistance. Different tests were performed on an Al3Sn4Cu by using ultrasound treatments during solidification to obtain an almost globular microstructure. Metallurgical characterizations and pin on disk wear tests were carried out on semisolid as well as on conventionally cast samples in order to assess the benefit of the treatment.
