The influence of stirring speeds of 1000 and 1500 r/min on the microstructure of Al18SiCuMg alloy was investigated.The smaller size of Si particles of rheocast sample led cocktail smoker obtained by higher cooling rate and higher stirring speed was achieved.According to the results of cavitation test, the cavitation rate of the 2005 honda accord intake manifold rheocast sample produced by 1500 r/min is lower than that of the rheocast sample obtained by 1000 r/min.

The different results show that the mass loss as a function of time can be approximated either by liner or quadratic equations.
