Metallography of Al-Si Alloys with Alloying By Fe up to 1%

Abstract

Metallographic analysis of aluminum-silicon alloys with different silicon content from 0 to 12% carried out. All alloys were differed in 2% by silicon amount from each other and all of them were additionally alloyed with iron in an amount of up to 1% in order to improve the technological properties in a die casting process. The paper shows the distribution of structural components of alloys made by electronic microscopy.
