Abstract
In the casting experiment of a 2A14 aluminium alloy ingot with a diameter of 830 mm, a comparison was made between the method when ultrasonic treatment was applied and the method when ultrasonic treatment was not applied. In the ingot which was not subjected to the ultrasonic treatment, the segregation rates of Cu and Si elements on a 1/2 longitudinal section were 29.98% and 27.96%, respectively. The average tensile strength, average yield strength and average elongation were 169.50 MPa, 87.17 MPa, and 5.32%, respectively. In the case of the ultrasonically treated ingot, the segregation rates of Cu and Si elements were 28.15% and 21.51%, respectively, and the average tensile strength, average yield strength and average elongation were 178.38 MPa, 92.75 MPa and 7.10%, respectively. The average tensile strength, average yield strength and average elongation of the ultrasonically treated ingot were increased by 5.24%, 6.40% and 33.46%, respectively. The results showed that after the ultrasonic treatment, the macro-segregation was inhibited, the defects were reduced, and the eutectic structure was more uniform.
