Abstract

Effect of indium addition on aging precipitation behavior of 357 cast alloy has been investigated by hardness measurement, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and TEM analysis. Age hardening results show that 0.1 wt.% indium addition to 357 cast alloy increases the peak hardness by 20 HV during aging at 160 °C. DSC and TEM analysis results show that indium addition constrains precipitation of GP zones, and enhances precipitation of https://static-content.springer.com/image/art%3A10.1007%2Fs11665-007-9086-3/MediaObjects/11665_2007_9086_IEq1.gif phases. The possible indium atoms participating in the precipitation during aging and the large indium-vacancy binding energy can explain the effect of indium on aging behavior of 357 cast alloy.
