Abstract


This article reviews several works for different cast aluminium alloys and analyzes own preliminary experimental results obtained with the aim to establish the state of knowledge of the porosity effect on the mechanical properties in tension. It is concluded that the operative conditions employed, mainly the change of solidification rate, modify the microstructural characteristics which affect the mechanical properties not allowing the determination of the porosity contribution. The publications of Surappa and Cáceres, that propose a model to relate properties with porosity, open a promissory field in this subject.
