Effect of magnesium addition in aluminum A1100 casting process on its hardness

This study investigated the effect of adding magnesium to the hardness of aluminum A 1100 in the casting process using Rockwell testing. Aluminum A 1100 is known to have relatively low mechanical strength but has good corrosion properties. The addition of magnesium is done to increase the hardness o...

description This study investigated the effect of adding magnesium to the hardness of aluminum A 1100 in the casting process using Rockwell testing. Aluminum A 1100 is known to have relatively low mechanical strength but has good corrosion properties. The addition of magnesium is done to increase the hardness of aluminum A 1100. Aluminum A 1100 samples are made with variations of adding 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% by weight. Casting is carried out using prepared sand molds, and the resulting A 1100 aluminum specimens are tested by Rockwell testing. The findings could guide industries that use aluminum A 1100 in applications requiring higher hardness, such as automotive or manufacturing. In addition, this research may serve as a foundation for further studies on the effect of magnesium addition on the mechanical properties of aluminum A 1100 using different test methods.
