The effect of primary silicon refinement on the microstructure and properties of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys.

The effect on microstructure and strength properties of hypereutectic aluminum - 20% silicon alloys of various refining additions has been studied by means of metallographic observations, hardness tests and a quantitative determination of the interparticle spacing for the primary silicon. A mechanis...
