Abstract:
The goal of this research was to determine how the master alloys Al-5Ti-0.25C-0.25B and Al-5Ti-1B affected the mechanical properties and structural characteristics of the alloy Al-9.5Si-1.5Cu-0.8Mn-0.6Mg. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to probe the microscopic composition, and the mechanical properties were evaluated using tensile testing. The results showed that, by adding 0.5% Al-5Ti-0.25C-0.25B master alloy and 0.5% Al-5Ti-1B master alloy, the α-Al dendrites can be significantly refined. In the extrusion state, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation with 0.5% Al-5Ti-0.25C-0.25B master alloy reached 380 MPa and 11.2%, which were 5.5% and 22.4% higher than no refinement, respectively. The elongation of the samples with the Al-5Ti-1B alloy addition increased from 9% to 11.9%, which is attributed to the fact that more pronounced complete recrystallization occurred during the extrusion heat treatment.
