Impact of metal mould vibration on the mechanical properties of aluminium 6082 t6 alloy

Casting is a technique used to prepare machinery parts. Casting during vibration is one of the techniques used to improve the properties of material. In this paper, the effect of mould vibration on the properties of gravity die casting alloys is studied. This process decreases the porosity, holes and increase in the grain refinement of cast alloy. Aluminium 6082 T6 alloy is made by casting process, with and without vibration. The frequencies varied from 0 Hz to 45 Hz. The material is tested on electronic tensiometer and vickers hardness to check its tensile strength and hardness. The outcomes showed improvement in grain refinement and properties when vibration is applied during casting. With this improvement, it can be widely used in trusses, bridges, cranes and transport applications.
