摘要
Al-Si eutectic alloys with the following composition (wt.%), 13.0 Si, 3.0-5.0 Cu, 0.3-0.8 Fe, <0.3 Ni, <0.15 Ti, <0.4 Mg and <0.6 Mn, were prepared by metal mold casting. The microstructure and fracture of these alloys were examined using SEM and TEM. It has been shown that Fe-rich and Cu-rich phases are solidified or precipitated in the form of a Chinese script or blocky alpha-Fe (Al-15(Fe, Mn)(3)Si2) and theta(Al2Cu) at the grain boundaries of alpha-Al dendrites. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation of the alloy with 3.0% Cu and 0.3% Fe reach 310 MPa and 3.2%, respectively. By increasing Cu content to 5.0% and Fe to 0.8%, the UTS of Al-Si alloy is further enhanced to 336 MPa. It was observed that these Al-Si alloys fracture in a mixed mode with quasi-cleavage and ductile fracture morphology. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
