Viscosity of Various Alloys

The viscosity thermophysical property data is included with the TCS Al-based Alloy Database (TCAL) as of version 7 (TCAL7).

A201, A319, and A356 Alloys

Wang and Overfelt [2002Wan] measured the viscosity of pure Al and A201, A319, and A356 alloys with oscillating cup viscometer.

The measured values of the viscosity of A201, A319 and A356 alloys are compared with the predicted values.

Al-Mg-Sc-Li Alloys

Gancarz et al. [2021Gan] measured the viscosity o f Al-5Mg-0.2Sc with addition of 3 and 6 wt% Li by means of discharge crucible method.
