The modification mechanism of Sb on eutectic Si phase of Al-Si alloys was not understood very well. In this paper the modification effects of Sb on Al7SiMg alloy were investigated by computer aided cooling curve thermal analysis coupled with microstructure observation. The results show that the addition of Sb with 0.1%~0.25% amount has refining effect on eutectic Si phase, and this modification effect can be recorded by the cooling curve. The addition of Sb decreases the growth temperature of the eutectic solidification (TEG) by 5.0 °C to 7.8 °C, and this indicates that there is an undercooling effect with Sb modification. Moreover, faster cooling rate can obtain more superior morphology of eutectic Si, which can be changed from short rod to nearly granular particles. The morphology of eutectic Si is nearly unchanged with holding time extending from 0.5h to 2.5h, which means Sb has long modification effect for Al-Si alloys.
