Abstract

The effects of Mg addition on heat treatment and mechanical properties of A356 alloy were were investigated. With increased amounts of Mg addition to A356 alloy, the grain size decreased and eutectic Si was refi refined. And, this process can improve the mechanical properties. Solid solution heat treatment causes the spheroidizing of eut eutectic Si. In this study, although eutectic Si was refined with Mg addition, solid solution time increased from 2 hours to 6 hours with Mg Mg addition, and aging time also increased, from 4 hours to 8 hours. After heat treatment, Mg2Si remained in a formation of C Chinese script. And, Chinese script Mg2Si formed with Mg addition caused a reduction of the elongation of the alloys according to the stress concentration.
