Designation GOST Latin ML9
Transliteration ML9
By chemical elements CuЛ9

Description

Alloy ML9 used: for the manufacture of shaped castings of parts with maximum operating temperature of 250−300 °C for a long time, +350−400 °C — short-term.

Note

High-temperature alloy system MD-REE-Zr. For alloying of the alloy of the rare earth metals neodymium use. The alloy contains additives of indium and zirconium.
Alloy combines sufficiently good mechanical properties at room temperature with high heat resistance, good casting and technological properties, allowing to obtain a dense casting with a uniform mechanical properties in the cross-sections of different thickness.
Alloy ML9 is also used for parts of engines and instruments, but its heat resistance is lower than that of alloy ML19.

Technological properties

Name The value
Features of heat treatment According to OST 1 90121-90 to improve the mechanical properties (σв, σ0,2) casting in the ground, shell molding, gravity die casting, investment casting and plaster mold apply heat treatment by mode T6 - Tempering by blowing air 540±5 °C (exposure 8-12 h) + Aging at 200±5 °C (exposure 6-12 h), air cooling. In this case the plastic properties decrease. A noticeable increase in the values of σв, σ0,2 is achieved in the hardening of the casting by blowing air.
