Casted aluminum is about as brittle as aluminum gets, a better approach would be to use a forged piece of aluminum (e.g 50x50mm bar, 6082-T4) and simply turn it in a lathe.

MP, you have very nice projects! I think that your bat´s failure didn´t happen due bad design but I believe the lack of heat treatment after the solidification. I don´t know neither the alloy used nor if you have done any heat treating process on it. I have some experience with Al-Si-Mg alloy designed for engine cylinder heads and cast wheels (356 alloy). For this alloy I would suggest heating the cast up to 530°C and leaving it there for 4 hours, quenching on hot water (80°C) and then heating it up to 200°C for 2 hours.

Try running a steel rod up the centre for added strength.

You need a good aluminum alloy like aircraft 51, pure aluminum is little use in high mechanical streght applications.

@pingwingugu5

7 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. Aircraft aluminium is so strong because it's a special alloy and because it is specially treated. Also some aluminium alloys are hard to cast because of high viscosity, to fill the mould details you would need to spin everything so centrifugal force would force the molten aluminium inside.

@88bibi88

7 жыл бұрын

You guys are both right but the reason why the bat broke is probably not really related to the specific aluminum alloy chosen. As MP Dragon said himself, the mistake was creating those grooves in the handle: they acted as notches and intensified the local stress which became higher than the fracture strength of the alloy employed.

@joscythe556

7 жыл бұрын

if you melt and pour/cast aircraft aluminium, it will lose its strength. You would have to reharden it through precipitation hardening to get it strong again.

@geoffreyhunter6680

7 жыл бұрын

The alloy would make a difference but the way very high strength aluminium is created is by heating to certain positions on the liquidus/solidus diagram and quenching to maintain the microstructure that has been developed there. It's not just the alloying metals that increase the strength. The microstructure is the most important. But yes just removing the grooves is much easier

Dude you did amazing and don't listen to the haters because I play baseball and thats an awesome bat

I think you would be better off getting a solid block of aluminium, and just shaping it on a lathe. It's gonna be so much stronger. And i think it could be done without any fancy tools, since aluminium is so soft.

Your design is flawed not because of the recesses or grooves in the handle, but because of the technology used to make bat the. Instead of using cast aluminum, you should've used cold formed aluminum (but this is waay advanced technology, and by default too expensive), or cold rolled aluminum bar and cut it out on the lathe. Many people think that cast metal is stronger than some other forms of creating metal object. NOT TRUE!. Almost everything made of cast metal is very brittle. It can handle pressure, but not dynamical forces, such as hitting brick wall with cast aluminum bat. This is because metal makes rather big crystals while it cools (think of it as glass) and these are divided by something called crystal boundaries which on microscopic level create this effect that you think grooves on handle are responsible off. Weak points from within. So, when you (hot or cold, and for aluminum its better cold) deform material, you get to deform those crystal bodies, bonding them, not into bigger crystals, but rather bonding their boundaries, intertwining them, twisting...and so on. This is what gives it strength. So, when you buy quality tools, for example, and you see label on them: made from cast steel. This is not just taken out of the cast. It undergoes process of, usually, hot forming by the means of negatives-forms of the shape you want to make. This is why those tools are much more expensive. It is very tedious process, with quite a few steps in technology. Cold rolled bars of aluminum, underwent this process, and are much stronger from within material. So... just use a lathe, and cut it out. Much simpler, much cheaper, and any machine shop would do it for you real cheap if you supply an aluminum bar for them. This is much better for you also, because you get to choose quality of the bar yourself. Cast things are much better at absorbing vibrations, that why quality power tools as circular saws are great if they have cast construction. Peace!

Curtis Lund Your comment got me interested in heat treating aluminum alloys. From what I gather it's very different from say steel and it's more of an "aging process." It's a process that is done before casting. They also call it precipitation hardening and it's like you're cooking the alloy to change the properties.

@General_Ethos

7 жыл бұрын

+Sigma Projects Yeah, with a bike frame the manufacture will treat it after they have welded the frame together. It is usually a multi step process with the frame being kept at certain temps for hours at a time. Al also has a self healing quality to it if it is heated after it is treated. Though it takes months to get the strength and flexibility back. That's why it's poor idea to powder coat a bike frame along with a whole bunch of car wheels. The bike will loose its annealing and will break with out warning when weight is put on it.

You can put a Steel rod inside to avoid breaks, like reinforced concrete . good job and great video man!

It would have been much easier to do lost foam casting here in a vertical pour, as you say. Instead of wood, make a bat out of high density insulation foam in the same way. Bury the foam in greensand with only a sprue off the top or bottom protruding above the sand. Use a metal pipe to form a head above the sprue, pour molten aluminum, and foam will vapourize. Cool and remove bat. Polish to remove rough surface texture.
