Effect of hot isostatic pressing on metallurgical and mechanical properties of A356 alloy [Sicak izostatik preslemenin A356 alaşiminin metalörjik ve mekanik özelliklerine etkisi]

Shrinkage and porosity are the common defects of the cast products. these defects affect mechanical properties of cast product negatively and decrease the useful life of the product. solving these defects is quite important for companies manufacturing parts from aluminum and its alloys. in order to eliminate these defects,various degassing techniques and manufacturing process optimization practices are generally performed in practice. in this study,the details of hot isostatic pressing (hip) applications were presented as an alternative follower process to current practice. in the scope of the study,hip was applied at various steps of the specimens made of a356 alloy and by open atmosphere casting method. the results of effect of hip on mechanical and metallurgical properties of specimens were presented in the study.
