Keywords: tin bronze, dendrite, acoustical, SDAS, solidfication rate

Abstract. This study was designed to determine the effect of the solidification rate on the acoustic
properties of the bronze alloy of 20% wt. Sn. Copper and commercially pure tin is melted in a
furnace to a temperature 1000, 1100 and 1200⁰C. The melted metal is poured into molds variation
temperature of 200, 300 and 400⁰C. Materials castings were cut and machined for specimen
damping capacity test.
The results showed that the reduction in mold temperature leads to an increase solidification
rate, which causes the shortness of the solidification time. The variation of the solidification rate
affects on the morphology of the microstructure and acoustical properties of the material. By
increasing the solidification rate influence on the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS)
decreases. It causes the material hardness increases and the damping capacity of material decreases.
There is a significant correlation between the material hardness and the damping capacity of
materials.
Introduction
Tin bronze with a composition of 87.5-80% Cu-20-22.5% Sn are generally used for musical
traditional materials such as bell, gamelan. It is because these alloys have good mechanical
properties, are stable in room temperature conditions, and have good acoustical characteristics that
can produce long sound (low damping vibration ) [1,2]. Commonly, the products are made of
bronze musical instruments such as gongs, bells, made by casting process.
One of the important parameters in the casting process is the process of solidification. It is a
process of change in the liquid phase to the solid phase. The solidification rate is influenced by the
temperature gradient of the liquid metal with the mold temperature. Preheating the metal mold aims
to avoid sudden temperature changes (temperature shock). Initial temperature of the mold that has
been studied is the temperature of 450-500 ⁰C [3], 300-400 ⁰C temperature [4]. Mold preheating
(300-400⁰C) on the gravity casting and high pressure can increase the fluidity. Campbell [4], states
that when the use of mold temperature approaching the the molten metal temperature, the fluidity of
alloy will be unlimited. The increased temperature lowers the nucleation rate and the cooling rate. It
increases the grain size and DAS [5]. Solididification rate also affects the form of the solidification
of dendrite tip radius. The higher the cooling rate, the more refined microstructure is formed, and
the pointy end of the dendrite is formed [6].
Related to this, there were several studies which have been conducted, such as: solidification
binary alloy system [7], solidification bronze alloy Cu-8% Sn [8], Cu-Sn peritectic alloy [9] and the
evolution of structure in the Cu-Sn alloy [10]. The solidification rate affects the micro structures
such as grain size and dendrite arm spacing (DAS). Changes on microstructure form directly affect
on the mechanical and acoustical properties of material castings.
Up to the present time, the studies on the influence of solidification of the acoustical
properties of tin bronze material for musical instruments (gamelan) has not been widely studied.
This study examines the effect of solidification rate on the microstructure and properties of
particular acoustic damping capacity.

Experimental Procedure
Alloy used in this study is tin bronze 20 Sn. The chemical composition of the alloy is
shown in Table 1. The pure commercial alloys are melted in a crucible furnace until the temperature
of 1000, 1100 and 1200⁰C variations. Metal that has been melted is poured in the mold with a size
of 250x55x15 mm. Mold is preheated at temperatures of 200, 300 and 400⁰C. Billet castings were
cut and machined. This is done for testing hardness and damping capacity specimens. Set-up of
damping capacity measurement refers to ASTME1876-01 standards [11], it shown in Figure 1. The
calculations of damping capacity use the method of logarithmic decrement. The damping capacity
was determined under simply supported free vibration bending model. The logarithmic decrement
, derived from the amplitude decay of specimen under free vibration, is given by [8].

Figure 2. The effect of molds temperature on solidification of bronze 20Sn
The resullt of metallographic studies show that variation solidification rate have affected
microstructure form forming. Figure 3 a-c shows the microstructure of bronze alloy of 20% wt. Sn
due to solidification rate. The relatively tip dendrite shape is occurred at the solidification rate of
13.112⁰C/s (Figure 4a), and then it is getting spherical and bigger in accordance with the decrease
of solidification rate (Figure 3b-c). There is no change phase that occurs due to the differences in
the cooling rate. The relationship of the secondary dendrite arm spacing size (SDAS) and the
solidification rate is shown in Figure 4. The Size SDAS is getting decreases in accordance with the
increase of solidification rate.

Figure 4. SDAS as a function of cooling rate
Relationship of cooling rate on VHN.
Figure 3 shows that the hardness of material (VHN) characteristic increases as with
solidification rate increases, eventhough has the opposite relationship with SDAS. The faster the
cooling rate in the solidfication process affects on finer the grain structure and the structure is more
dense. Material hardness is correlated with the density of a material.

Figure 5. VHN as a function of cooling rate
Relationship of cooling rate on damping capacity
Damping capacity is a measure of a material's ability to release energy during their
vibration. Low damping capacity means the ability of the alloy to release mechanical energy/low
vibration is characterized by the length of vibration. The materials having lower damping capacity
vibrates longer than those of having higher damping capacity. Figure 6 shows the relationship of
cooling rate with the damping capacity of tin bronze. The damping capacity of materials decreased
along with the increase of the cooling rate casting process.

especially the damping capacity of the material. The harder the materials, the lower the damping
capacity will be.

Casting process produces multiple defects in the form of casting defects such as gas
porosity and shrinkage porosity. Porosity is caused by two sources: shrinkage during solidification
and trapped gas. Alloys generally have higher densities in the solid state compared to the liquid
state, forming dendrite defects in the solidification interface called the shrinkage porosity (Figure
8a). Feeding casting process resulting turbulent flow can trap gases in liquids to form gas porosity.
The casting process on tin bronze alloy is also having defective castings such as gas porosity and
shrinkage porosity, as shown in Figure 8 b.
Discussion
The difference molds temperature rate were affected by variation of gradient temperature
between molten metal and mold temperature. The higher temperature difference between the liquid
metal with the mold temperature, the more speed of the solidification rate. The solidification rate is
influenced by the variations in the temperature gradient between the molten metal to the mold
temperature. The difference in the solidification rate affects on the shape of the resulting
microstructure. The size of SDAS tends to decrease in accordance with the increase of the
solidification rate. It is caused by the less time available diffusion of nucliation [11,4]. During the
solidification process the mold temperature increases due to heat transfer from the molten metal into
the mold. Mold absorbs the heat released by the molten metal, then heat is released into the
surrounding environment. Heat mold increasing temperature gradient will decrease the liquid metal
with the interface, so that the solidification rate is inhibited. This causes the longer time needed for
a complete solidification. The larger dendrite shape is occurred on the lower speed of solidification
rate. Research on the solidification rate of the material of no bronze is also observed that the
variation in the form of dendrite structure is influenced by variations in the speed of the
solidification of the wall into the mold until the mold. [3,13]. Solidification rate also affects the
form of dendrite tip radius. The higher the cooling rate, the more subtle microstructure formed, the
smaller SDAS, and the more pointed dendrite tip radius will be (6,13,14 and 15]. The smaller
SDAS are formed and the harder the properties of the material hardness. The high solidification rate
produces hardness of materials better than that of low rate of solidification. Finer structures are
formed at a high solidification rate. These will form many grain boundaries which can inhibit the
movement of dislocations. Therefore, the alloy strength increases [16].
Damping capacity is the ability of the materials to release elastic energy when the alloy is
getting impulse vibration. According to De Silvia [16] internal damping of material is influenced by
microstructural defects such as grain boundaries and impurities. Porosity is caused by two sources,
namely: shrinkage defect and gas trapped during solidification. Alloys generally have higher
densities in the solid state compared to the liquid state so that the shrinkage porosity formed on
solidification. Turbulent flow of molten metal during casting processes impact to trapping gases and
form porosity defect. Shape defects also occur due to shrinkage between the dendrite tips will cause
holes (voids) in the material. Void defects influence on the increase in the damping capacity of
material [17]. The increase in material damping capacity is caused by the vibrations that propagate
in the the material is absorbed by some porosity of material.
Conclusions
Research on the effect of solidification rate on the acoustic bronze material has been done so
that conclusions can be drawn. Pouring temperatures and temperature mold castings variation which
are used in the casting process affects the rate of solidification. The solidification rate affects the
resulted microstructure (SDAS). The difference in the generated microstructure due to variations in
the solidification rate affects the hardness and damping capacity of the material. The finer and the
smaller of microstructure shape effects on the increase of materila hardness. The increase in
hardness material affects on the decrease in damping capacity of material bronze.
