Effect of thermal exposure on microstructure and high-temperature fatigue life of Al-Si piston alloys

A very effective approach is proposed here to increase the high-temperature fatigue life of an Al-Si piston alloy. Compared with traditional T6 heat treatment, the high-temperature fatigue life can be improved by three times of magnitude with thermal exposure treatment, which reduces the negative ef...
