Abstract EN
In this paper, the effect of Er addition (0.2, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.
%) on the microstructure evolution and tensile properties of as-cast hypereutectic Al-10Si-0.8Fe alloy was investigated.
The phases and their morphologies in these alloys were identified by XRD and SEM equipped with EDX with the help of metallographic analysis techniques; the length of the secondary phase (LSP) and secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of α-Al grain were quantified.
The results indicated that the second phases (primary Si, eutectic Si, and iron-rich phases) and α-Al grain were significantly refined when the addition of Er increased from 0 to 0.8 wt.
%.
The mean LSP and SADS values were decreased to a minimum value when the Er addition reached 0.8 wt.
%.
However, the second phases and α-Al grain became coarser when the level of Er increased more than 0.8 wt.
%.
The analysis of XRD shows that Er mainly exists in the form of Er2Si compound.
The microstructure modification also has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the alloy.
The yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and elongation (EL) increase from 52.86 MPa, 163.84 MPa, and 3.45% to 71.01 MPa, 163.84 MPa, and 5.65%, respectively.
From the fracture surface, the promotions of mechanical properties are due to the dispersion and pinning reinforcement caused by the Er2Si phase.
