Abstract:This research aimed to investigate the combined effect of melt thermal treatment and Sr modifier on microstructure and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-14Si alloy. Various characterization techniques and testings such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, tensile test and hardness test were carried out to evaluate the samples. The results showed that the melt thermal treated alloys have a more refined primary Si phase and modified eutectic Si structure than that of the conventional cast… Show more
