摘要: Abstract The effect of Eu additions (0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1 wt.%) T6 heat treatment on the microstructures mechanical properties A356 alloy have been investigated in present work. Microstructures as-cast treated samples were examined by optical microscopy (OM) scanning electron (SEM). It was found that 0.1%Eu modified eutectic Si from a coarse plate-like form to fully fine fibrous one with better uniform distribution. encouraged spheroidization particles. Correlating samples, achieved likewise full modification particles lowest mean area aspect ratio. In addition, small Eu-rich intermetallics both alloy. cooling curves alloys showed increasing addition resulted nucleation undercooling growth undercooling. However, recalescence (T G − T Min ) increased initial Eu, while it remained relatively stable for (above 0.06%). quenching experiment indicated large number grains located at or close tips aluminum dendrites jagged solid–liquid interface unmodified alloy, very few formed interdendritic region smooth An optimal combination UTS (265 MPa) EI (14.7%) combined treatment.
