Abstract

The effect of Al-10Sr master alloy modifier with different content on the microstructure and properties of as-cast Al-12.6Si-0.35 Mg alloy was investigated. The results show that, eutectic silicon varies from original needle and flake to fibrous shape; The shape, size, and quantity of α -Al all changed; When Sr content is 0.023%, the modification effect is most ideal, α -Al shows the highest quantity and smallest size. Meanwhile, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reach to the optimum values of 248.2 MPa and 7.2% respectively. These two values are 1.34 and 2.77 times higher than the 185 MPa and 2.6% before modification respectively.
