The effects of bismuth, strontium and antimony additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 aluminium casting alloy

Aluminium castings offer significant weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency. Nowadays, aluminium recycling is widely practiced so impurity-related problems has become more important. Bismuth is one of the alloying elements added to aluminium alloys to improve their machinability, but little i...
