摘要：

A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of a 6201 aluminum alloy to which controlled strontium additions were made has revealed important differences compared to the same alloy free of strontium. In the as-cast state, strontium favors the formation of α-AlFeSi (Al8Fe2Si) rather than β-AlFeSi (Al5FeSi) phase, resulting in a greater quantity of excess silicon present in the strontium-treated alloy. During heat treatment, the excess silicon allows a greater density of finer β″-Mg2Si precipitates to form, leading to increased tensile strength values and increased electrical resistivity. Strontium also retards the growth of the precipitates formed during heat treatment and inhibits formation of the equilibrium β-Mg2Si phase. As a result, the strontium-treated alloy exhibits a resistance to overaging.
