The effects of Cr addition on microstructure, hardness and tensile properties of as-cast Al–3.8wt.%Cu–(Cr) alloys

An investigation is made on the effects of Cr addition (0.25 and 0.50 wt%) on the solidification evolution, microstructure formation, hardness and tensile properties of Al–3.8Cu–(Cr) alloys. Solidification experiments were carried out in a vertical furnace using a metallic mold cooled from the botto...
