摘要
Using published experimental phase equilibria, a self-consistent thermodynamic database of the Al-Si-Mg-Sc quaternary system in Al-rich corner was established by application of the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) technique. The reliability of the thermodynamic database was tested in two quaternary model cast alloys by comprehensive comparison of their experimentally measured solidified microstructure characteristics and phase transition temperatures with the calculated ones. Scheil-Gulliver simulations were performed, allowing construction of a solidification diagram for Sc-added A356 alloys to examine the influence of Sc levels on the solidification behavior of cast A356 alloys. With the aid of theoretical solidified microstructure analysis and its qualitative relationship with mechanical properties, the optimal amount of added Sc in P356 alloys was determined to be 0.54 wt.%. The experimental mechanical property measurements and microstructural characterizations confirmed that the F356-0.54 wt.% Sc alloy exhibits the best comprehensive mechanical performance. Additionally, the grain refining mechanisms in Sc-supplemented A356 alloys were described, suggesting a path for further improvement of the overall mechanical performance. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
