Optimum process parameters are important to get a cost-efficient process. In this study, four materials have been identified, which are extensively used in industries. These materials are commercially pure Al and three Al-alloys namely, 2124, 2218 and 6063. The pouring temperature and the mold temperature is maintained at 700oC and 250oC respectively. The materials were developed at seven pressure variations from 0 to 150 MPa. The effect of the pressure on the microstructures, porosity, and hardness has been reported. The coefficient of solubility is estimated for all materials and a polynomial relationship is found to be the best fit with the applied pressure. The pressure of 100 MPa gives better increment in hardness. The melting point and the freezing coefficient of the materials under study have been determined. A linear relationship between the pressure and the freezing time is deduced. It is observed that the solubility and the freezing coefficients depend on the pressure as well, in addition to the composition and temperature.}, type={Article}, title={Effect of Liquid Forging Pressure on Solubility and Freezing Coefficients of Cast Aluminum 2124, 2218 and 6063 Alloys}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115069/PDF/AMM-2020-1-45-Tirth.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.131738}, keywords={Liquid Forging, porosity, hardness, Solubility Coefficient, Freezing Coefficient}, }
