Abstract

Joining of A356 alloy and magnesium was carried out by vacuum assisted sand mold compound casting process. Microstructure at the joint interface was studied by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometer. Characterization indicated that a relatively uniform joint interface was obtained. The joint interface was composed of three distinct layers containing Mg2Al3 on aluminum side, Mg17Al12 + δ eutectic structure on magnesium side and Mg17Al12 as middle layer. As a result of interaction between silicon, present in A356 with magnesium, Mg2Si compound was formed. Push out test was conducted on electronics universal testing machine to measure the shear strength across the joint interface. The important process parameters (grit size of sand paper, insert temperature, pouring temperature and vacuum pressure) were optimized to maximize the shear strength. Optimization was carried out by using response surface methodology, desirability analysis and genetic algorithm (GA) techniques. It was observed that the shear strength increased by 14.21, 8.60 and 4.80% with genetic algorithm, desirability analysis and regression model respectively. GA reported the optimal value of shear strength.
