摘要
The effects of Mn and Sn on the microstructure of Al-7Si-Mg alloy modified by Sr and Al-5Ti-B were studied. The results show that the columnar dendrites structure is observed with high content of Sr, indicating a poisoning effect of the Al-5Ti-B grain refinement. In addition, Sr intermetallic compounds distribute on the TiB2 particles, which agglomerate inside the eutectic Si. The mechanism responsible for such poisoning was discussed. The addition of Mn changes the morphology of iron intermetallic compounds from beta-Al5FeSi to alpha-Al(Mn,Fe)Si. Increasing the amount of Mn changes the morphology of alpha-Al(Mn,Fe)Si from branched shape to rod-like shape with branched distribution, and finally converts alpha-Al(Mn,Fe)Si to Chinese script shape. The microstructure observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that Mg is more likely to interact with Sn in contrast with Si under the effect of Sn. Mg2Sn compound preferentially precipitates between the Si/Si interfaces and Al/Si interfaces.
