- The atmospheric corrosion behavior of alloy AZ91D produced by a semi-solid metal (SSM) technique and by conventional high pressure die casting (HPDC) was investigated for up to 1176 hours in the laboratory. Alloy AZ91D in the SSM state was fabricated using a rheocasting (RC) technique in which the slurry was prepared by the RheoMetal process. Exposures were performed in 95% RH air at 22 and 4 degrees C. The RC alloy AZ91D exhibited significantly better corrosion resistance than the HPDC material at two temperatures studied. The effect of casting technology on corrosion is explained in terms of the microstructural differences between the materials. For example, the larger number density of cathodic beta phase particles in the HPDC material initially causes relatively rapid corrosion compared to the RC material. During later stages of corrosion, the more network-like beta phase particles in the RC alloy act as a corrosion barrier, further improving the relative corrosion resistance of the RC material.

- Three cast irons with different graphite morphologies were austempered in order to investigate how some important material properties are affected. The cast irons had similar chemical compositions so valid comparisons could be made between morphologies and between as-cast and austempered samples. The cast irons were austenitized for 2h at 900°C and austempered at 350°C for five different times, resulting in coarse ferrite needles. Microstructure, hardness, scuffing resistance, ultimate tensile strength (UTS) in bending and thermal properties was investigated for both as-cast and austempered samples. The hardness increased by about 25% after 110 min austempering while the thermal conductivity dropped about 30%, for all three morphologies. Scuffing resistance increased significantly when austempering lamellar graphite cast iron but was slightly reduced for both the compacted and nodular graphite morphologies. After 110 min austempering, the ultimate tensile strength was reduced for the lamellar and compacted samples, but was slightly increased for the nodular morphology.
