Abstract

Alumium alloys casting are gaining increased acceptance in the automotive and electronic industeries and squeeze casting is the most efficient method of manufacturing such mass produced parts. This study has been investigated the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg (AC4C) alloy fabricated by squeeze casting process for development of Fuel system Parts (Fuel rail). The microstructure of squeeze casted specimen were composed of eutectic structure Alumimim solid solution and $Mg_2$Si precipitates. The tensile strength of as-solid solution treatment Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg ahoy revealed 298.5MPa. It was found that Al-7.0Si-0.4Mg alloy have good corrosion resistance in electrochemical polarization test.
