How Slight Solidification Rate Variations within Cast Plate Affect Mechanical Response: A Study on As-Cast A356 Alloy with Cu Additions

The present work investigates a narrow range of secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), in an as-cast A356 alloy with and without copper (Cu) additions. Cu was added to the base A356 alloy melt to reach the target concentration of 0.5 and 1 wt.%. Samples were selected from 3 different positions withi...
