Abstract
The purpose of this work is to understand the phases formation and lattice parameter changes with addition 0.6 to 2.7 wt.% in Al-Si-Mg-Ce cast alloy. Al-Si-Mg-Ce eutectic and hypoeutectic cast alloy were prepared by conventional casting technique. The alloys were investigated by using optical microscope, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray diffractometry (XRD). The addition of Ce resulted in precipitation of Al4Ce in eutectic cast alloy and CeMg2Si2 in hypoeutectic cast alloy. The lattice parameter of Al increases with increase in Ce content wheareas lattice parameter of Si phase decreases as the Ce content increases.
