Mechanical Performance of Zr-Containing 354-Type Al-Si-Cu-Mg Cast Alloy: Role of Additions and Heat Treatment

In this article, the volume fraction of intermetallic compounds in Zr-containing 354-type Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys, characteristics of eutectic Si particles, and tensile, hardness, and impact properties have been evaluated with varying Ni and Mn contents and combination. The results revealed that addition...
