Effect of Alloying Elements on Mechanical Properties of Al-Si-Cu-Mg Cast Alloys

Abstract:

To develop Al-Si cast alloys with high performance is important for lightweighting vehicles. In this study, the effects of the alloying elements such as Si, Cu, Mg contents (5%-7% Si, 1%-3%Cu, 0.3%-0.9%Mg) on mechanical properties of a test Al-Si-Cu-Mg cast alloy was studied to achieve a specific composition. The experimental results show that the Al-6%Si-3%Cu-0.3%Mg alloy has better comprehensive mechanical properties after T6 heat treatment, which indicates a remarkable interaction of the alloying elements for improving performance.
