Effect of Cerium Addition and Cooling Rate on Microstructure of ADC12 Eutectic Cast Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research was to determine the effect of Cerium and cooling rate on the microstructure of eutectic Al-11Si-Cu-Mg cast alloy. The Cerium was added to produce Al-11Si-Cu-Mg-1.5Ce alloys. The microstructure was characterized by optical microscope. The Si structure was modified with the increase of the cooling rate, where smaller area was achieved. Ce formed rich intermetallic phase, such as Al-Si-Ce.
