Abstract


Series of silicon alloys (from 3.3 to 6.3% wt Si) were produced to study their workability at room temperature. Cast samples, machined into cylinders, were compressed with a servohydraulic computer driven machine at a constant strain rate. The results supplied information about the strengthening, phenomena and confirmed that the workability decreases with the higher silicon content. In addition constitutive equations were fitted from the stress-strain data. Metallographic examination showed twins which density increased with the percentage of Si.
