It has been shown that the greatest impact on the porosity of the castings and the concentration of hydrogen has had the charge to the melting furnace. Liquidation or occurrence of a small microporosity of castings provides refining with solid refiners, nitrogen and modification of liquid alloy after various operations of preparing process. The liquid alloy stored in holding furnace should be refined once every 2 h with nitrogen. Authors developed a computer program of s inspection with using of TDA method. The developed technology was verified under production conditions. Keywords:: Innovative materials and casting technologies, Pressure die casting, Porosity, Refinement, Modification 1. Introduction Generally known is that the pressure castings made of Al-Si alloy show the presence of gas porosity and shrink porosity. Both types of porosity can be minimized or completely eliminated by proper preparation of physico-chemical state of liquid alloy and the right construction of casting and its mould. At this work possibilities of minimizing or total eliminating the gas porosity were presented. The porosity is caused by the hydrogen, oxides, borides, nitrides and spinels and with harmful elements: Li, Be, Ca as well as with excess of Na, Sr and Mg, which are present in. The biggest influence on the porosity, however, has the hydrogen. In Aluminium alloys primarily hydrogen is dissolved (about 80-90%), followed by oxygen and nitrogen. The final amount of gas in s depends on their initial content, atmospheric humidity, the type of melting furnace and its coverings, and the concentration of non-metallic inclusions. Hydriding of s by their contact with water vapour occurs by the reaction 3H 2 +2Al Al 2 O 3 +6H. Formed in this way hydrogen goes through mainly into the aluminium alloy and in a small amount is released into the atmosphere in the molecular form. The smallest concentration of hydrogen about 0.01 cm3/100g, characterizes aluminium alloys that are melted in crucible-type or channel-type inductive furnaces. s melted in electric resistance furnaces and gas furnaces contain about ten to twenty times more of hydrogen [1-9]. For example the table 1 presents the influence of the temperature on hydrogen diffusion coefficient D H [1-9]. It results that a rise in temperature of liquid aluminium much is increasing the rate of the D H diffusion. After crossing of temperature 745 In Figure 1 were shown an influence of the concentration of silicon and temperature of liquid on the coefficient D H [1-4].

2 Table 1. Influence of the aluminium temperature on hydrogen diffusion coefficient D H Temperature, t, C Hydrogen diffusion coefficient, D H *10-3, cm 2 /s It shows that increasing the silicon content in aluminium reduces the solubility of hydrogen. The increase of liquid alloy temperature increases the solubility of the hydrogen in liquid metal. Overall, the reduction of the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen D H, increases its solubility in. Aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) occurring in aluminium alloys increases the hydrogen solubility. This influence is increasing along with increasing the amount and the dispersion of Al 2 O 3 precipitates. It is believed that it is caused by the "mismatch" of crystal lattice of Al 2 O 3 and Al. Due to the fact that oxygen atoms are strong electron acceptors, the hydrogen accumulates in these mismatch areas. It is believed that these areas are also the "nucleus" the formation of gas bubbles [1-5]. The presented data suggest that in order to minimize the amount and pore size or total elimination of die casting is needed refining of liquid alloy with gas refiners (argon, helium) or solid one. The most preferred option is a simultaneous refinement of gas and solid refiners. 2. Results Fig. 1. Influence of Si concentration and the temperature of liquid on hydrogen diffusion coefficient D H It shows that the increase of the temperature increases the D H ratio of liquid aluminium alloy. It decreases with increasing concentration of silicon to about 8.0% and then increases with further increase of silicon. Causes of this occurrence remained unsolved so far. Change of the solubility of hydrogen in Al-Si alloys in the function concentrations of the Si and the temperature were described in Figure 2 [1;2]. Fig. 2. Influence of Si concentration and temperature in Al-Si alloys to change the solubility of hydrogen The most often in pressure foundries technological process of producing castings consists of the following operations: loading the charge materials to the melting furnace melting of alloys removal of slag from the surface of the liquid metal pouring of into the transfer ladle transport of the ladle to the holding furnace at the casting pressure machine pouring of liquid aluminium alloy into the holding furnace pressure die casting. Most of s are melted in the gas or oil furnaces. Due to the smelting of s in gas or oil furnaces it follows increased gassing of alloys, that require absolutely of their refining if you want to get pressure castings at least of average quality or slightly below of that quality. The following is a preparation technology of liquid and its control method ensures obtaining high-quality of pressure castings without porosity or with negligible microporosity. It concerns the Enterprise Innovation - Implementation WIFAMA - PREXER LLC. in Lodz. The company produces castings with using 226 and 231 s of which average chemical composition shown in Table 2. It shows that alloys 226 and 231 have different levels of silicon and copper. Aluminium alloy 231 contains about 11.0% Si and 0.9% Cu, ie increased amount of Si, and Cu decreased in comparison with the 226. Figure 3 shows the effect of the charge type into the melting gas furnace, on the porosity of the control sample without refining and after refining with use of solid refiner ECOSAL-Al113. Refiner was fed on a liquid surface of alloy in the melting furnace. From Figure 3 results that the type of furnace charge and refining significantly affect the porosity of the castings. Without refining, the lowest porosity P = 2.82% was obtained for a batch consisting of 100% of pigs silumin 226 or 231, and the highest P = 6.28% for the batch made from 100% scrap recycle. Refining with ECOSAL-Al113 in the melting furnace according to the decreased porosity P = 2.0% and P = 4.23%. A similar effect occurs in the change of hydrogen concentration as shown in Figure 4. The lowest concentration of hydrogen H 2 = 0.42 ppm found in alloy unrefined and smelted from charge containing 110 A R C H I V E S o f F O U N D R Y E N G I N E E R I N G V o l u m e 1 1, I s s u e 4 / ,
3 H 2, ppm P, % 100% of metallurgic pigs. The largest amount of H 2 = 2.25 ppm obtained in alloy smelted in 100% recycle from scrap. After refining it amounts adequately H 2 = 0.20 ppm and 1.15ppm. It follows from the obvious fact that the porosity of castings increases with increasing concentration of hydrogen in Al-Si alloy. For example, the minimum and maximum porosity of the sample after refining with ECOSAL-Al113 is shown in Figure 5 (a,. The control of with TDA method showed significant differences as the course of the crystallization curve for the minimum and maximum porosity, how it was shown in Figure 6 (a,. Table 2.

5 H 2, ppm P, % It results from here that the derivative curve of with the minimum porosity has smooth course (a), and with a maximum porosity ( the curve has a shape like a saw blade. Many thermal effects exist in eutectic crystallization area. Therefore, based on the crystallization curve can be qualitatively assess the porosity of the casting. After pouring of liquid alloy to the transport ladle, at the same time was made the procedure of refining with ECOSAL-Al113 and nitrogen device with a rotating head. The porosity of the sample and the hydrogen concentration before and after the procedure are shown in Figure 7 and 8. The Figures 7 and 8 shows that refining in ladle with solid refiner and nitrogen causes further reduction of the porosity of castings and the concentration of hydrogen. A further influence of the kind of the metal charge to the melting furnace on the value of these quantities is characteristic feature of this process. After these treatments the minimum and maximum porosity of the samples was shown in Figure 9 (a,.

After refining in transfer ladle, the aluminium alloy is pouring into the holding furnace at the station of pressure casting machine. During pouring a modification of was applied and after of pouring out a refining was performed with nitrogen. The changes of porosity of castings and of the hydrogen concentration in them are shown in Figure 11 and 12. Results from them a further reducing of porosity and hydrogen concentration in casts, in addition to a large extent they are made conditional on the type of metal charge to the melting furnace.

9 They show a slight disorder on the crystallization curves for zero porosity of castings. The study showed that, in order to minimize or eliminate porosity of aluminium alloy, it should be make of refining of the liquid alloy every 2 hours in a holding furnace with nitrogen. d) For example, Figure 15 (a-f) shows the microstructure and the porosity of the castings made without the presented technology. a) e) f) c) Fig. 15 (a-f).

14 It results from presented data that the program determines properties of prepared silumin: Rm, A 5, HB, P, ppm H2 and is suggesting operations one should do which, if prepared alloy isn't in accordance with the technology. 3. Conclusions From the tests of presented work result following conclusions: decisive influence on the porosity of the castings and the concentration of hydrogen in them is to charge material into the melting furnace, after various technological operations, the liquid alloy should be refined with solid refiner and nitrogen, and during transfer to the holding furnace extra modified, Al Si alloy in holding furnace should be refined with nitrogen every 2 hours, above treatments eliminate the porosity of casts or appearing at them of small microporosity, effect of treatments performed should be controlled by developed author s computer program using the TDA method.
