Abstract

In this examination, the effect of Sr addition and holding time on microstructure of Al-10.5wt%Si- 2wt%Cu secondary die-casting alloy was investigated. Degree of undercooling was improved with increasing the Sr content in this alloy. Up to 0.02wt%Sr addition, acicular and lamellar eutectic structure was observed in the microstructure. Meanwhile, the eutectic Si was modified toward the fine fibrous form by increasing Sr content with more than 0.03wt% and holding time of the melt. The well- modified alloys showed decreased eutectic silicon size from 3.25 μm to less than 0.8 μm. From these results, the optimal strontium content and holding time were identified on the Al- 10.5wt%Si-2wt%Cu secondary die-casting alloy.
