Abstract

Material fatigue occurred on aluminum castings used in the electrical distribution network. Material analysis was performed on the damaged samples. The detailed analysis of fracture surface was performed by several methods. The decrease in mechanical properties was caused by the poor chemical composition of the alloy and defects caused by casting.

Keywords: Aluminum alloy cast, mechanical properties, fracture, matrix structure, impurities
