Role of heat treatment in the improvement of mechanical properties of a high-quality Al-11Si-1.5Cu-0.3Mg casting alloy

The purpose of this study is to prepare a high-quality Al-11Si-1.5Cu-0.3Mg casting alloy with a good combination of strength and ductility. The microstructures of as-cast alloy were tailored by employing combined additives of Al-3wt.%B refiner, Al-10wt.%Sr modifier and trace addition of La element....
