Effect of Al-5Ti-C Master Alloy on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Hypereutectic Al-20%Si Alloy.


ABSTRACT: Al-5Ti-C master alloy was prepared and used to modify hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy with Al-5Ti-C master alloy additions (0, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0, 1.6 and 2.0 wt%) were investigated. The results show that, Al-5Ti-C master alloy (0.6 wt%, 10 min) can significantly refine both eutectic and primary Si of hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy. The morphology of the primary Si crystals was significantly refined from a coarse polygonal and star-like shape to a fine polyhedral shape and the grain size of the primary Si was refined from roughly 90-120 μm to 20-50 μm. The eutectic Si phases were modified from a coarse platelet-like/needle-like structure to a fine fibrous structure with discrete particles. The Al-5Ti-C master alloy (0.6 wt%, 30 min) still has a good refinement effect. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation (El) and Brinell hardness (HB) of Al-20%Si alloy modified by the Al-5Ti-C master alloy (0.6 wt%, 10 min) increased by roughly 65%, 70% and 51%, respectively, due to decreasing the size and changing the morphology on the primary and eutectic Si crystals. The change in mechanical properties corresponds to evolution of the microstructure.
