Abstract
Under the condition of melt thermal-rate treatment (MTRT) and low-temperature pouring (LTP), the tensile properties of Al-15%Si alloy are improved, the average size of primary Si is refined to about 20 μm from about 50 μm, and eutectic silicon can be well modified. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation are 201 MPa and 3.5%, and these values increase by 12% and 25%, respectively, compared with that obtained by conventional casting technique. The Al-15%Si alloy modified with Sr and RE additions was also studied for comparison purposes. The tensile properties of the Al-15%Si alloy treated with MTRT + LTP are superior to those modified with Sr or RE addition individually. The eutectic growth temperature difference between modified and unmodified melts was used to indicate the modification level. The modification effect of MTRT + LTP on Al-15%Si alloy is better than that modified with Sr or RE addition.
