“…The fragmentation and coarsening of eutectic Si occur simultaneously, which together determine the aspect ratio of eutectic Si. Increasing the solid solution temperature accelerates the coarsening of eutectic Si, leading to an increase in the aspect ratio of eutectic Si [ 31 ]. At lower solid solution temperatures, both spheroidization of eutectic Si and passivation of primary Si require a longer SHT time to achieve excellent solution results.…”

Ameliorating the high-temperature performance of cast Al-Si alloys used as engine components is essential. The effects of different T6 heat-treatment processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Al-Si-Cu-Mg-Ni-Cr alloys were investigated in the present study. The results demonstrate that, under the optimal solution treatment conditions of 500 °C for 2 h and 540 °C for 4 h, the T-Al9FeNi phase was present in the alloy, and the roundness of primary Si and the aspect ratio of eutectic Si in the alloy reached valley values of 1.46 and 2.56, respectively. With increasing ageing time at 180 °C, the tensile strength significantly improved, while the microhardness first increased and then decreased. When the ageing time was 4 h, microhardness reached a peak value of 155.82 HV. The fracture characteristics changed from quasi-cleavage to the coexistence of quasi-cleavage and dimples. After heat treatment, the high-temperature tensile properties of the alloy improved, which is a significant advantage compared to the as-cast alloy. The stable Al3Ni and Al9FeNi phases inhibited the cracking of the alloy at 350 °C.

“…Wang et al [ 13 ] obtained a mixture of β″-Mg 5 Si 6 , θ’-Al 2 Cu and Q’-Al 5 Cu 2 Mg 8 Si 6 nanoprecipitated phases by adjusting artificial aging parameters, resulting in excellent mechanical properties of Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloy. Fang et al [ 14 ] optimized the two-stage solution treatments of Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloy to obtain a high and uniform solute concentration without overburning of the Cu-containing phase, thus improving the solution strengthening. However, although the research on multi-component alloying and heat treatment of Al–Si–Cu–Mg cast alloy has been extensively studied, there is still little comprehensive and exhaustive research on it based on the strengthening mechanism of casting alloy, which is not conducive to the development and application of high strength and toughness Al–Si–Cu–Mg cast aluminum alloys.…”
