In this study, microstructures and mechanical properties of A356 aluminum alloy obtained by expendable pattern shell casting process with vacuum and low pressure (EPSC-VL) were investigated. Meanwhile, microstructures and mechanical properties of A356 alloy among EPSC-VL, expendable pattern shell casting process under gravity casting (EPSC-G), lost foam casting with vacuum and low pressure (LFC-VL) and lost foam casting under gravity casting (LFC-G) were compared. The results showed that the microstructure of A356 alloy fabricated by EPSC-VL was finer and denser than the products from EPSC-G, LFC-G and LFC-VL processes, and its grain size was only 147.2 mu m compared to LFC-G (327.1 mu m). Moreover, its porosity defects were greatly reduced (0.16%) compared to LFC-G (1.97%). The tensile strength, elongation and hardness of castings produced by EPSC-VL were all considerably higher than the products from EPSC-G, LFC-G and LFC-VL. The A356 alloy made by EPSC-VL exhibited morphology of dimple fracture that was very deep and well-distributed. In addition, the castings produced by EPSC-VL process had better surface quality compared to LFC castings. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
