The most commonly used elements to modify primary silicon crystals in the structure of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys are phosphorus and sulfur. Phosphorus has been shown to have the highest coefficient of modification with respect to the primary silicon and is therefore a preferred modifier. There are also data on the positive effect of the modifiers Sb, Sr, Ti, and B on the silicon crystals in the structure of this type of alloys. The influence of the modifiers phosphorus, strontium, titanium and combinations of them on the size and shape of both the primary silicon crystals and the silicon crystals in the composition of the eutectic of the AlSi25 alloy has been studied in this work. Mechanical tests have been performed to determine both the strength and the plastic parameters of the investigated alloy (in unmodified and modified state). The classic for this type of alloys modifier - phosphorus - has been introduced into the melt by the ligature CuP10. Strontium has been introduced by the ligature AlSr10, and titanium - by the ligature AlTi5B1, the two ligatures in the form of rods. The investigated alloy has also been modified by combinations of the used modifiers: phosphorus and strontium, phosphorus and titanium.The influence of the used modifiers on the structure and mechanical properties of AlSi25 alloy has been discussed.

The structure of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys consists of primary silicon crystals arranged in a eutectic matrix. In the present work the influence of different types of modifiers on the size and shape of the silicon crystals in the composition of the eutectic of the AlSi18 alloy has been studied. The classic for this type of alloys modifier (phosphorus), as well as the nanomodifiers SiC and nanodiamonds (ND) have been used. The results of the microstructural analysis show that the three modifiers used affect differently the shape and size of the eutectic silicon of the investigated alloy.

The Influence of Remelting on the Properties of AlSi6Cu4 Alloy Modified by Antimony The paper deals with the problem of multiple remelting influence on AlSi6Cu4 alloy modified by antimony on chosen mechanical characteristics, microstructure and gas content. This foundry alloy is used mostly in automotive industry. Foundry Aluminum-Silicon alloys are also used in number of industrial weight sensitive applications because of their low weight and very good castability and good mechanical properties. Modifiers are usually added to molten aluminum-silicon alloys to refine the eutectic phase particle shape and improve the mechanical properties of the final cast products and Al-Si alloys cast properties.

: The use of aluminum silicon alloys as automotive components is growing along with the growing desire to reduce the weight of the components used. However, aluminum alloys still have low mechanical properties, so other processes are needed to increase their hardness, one of them by heat treatment process. This alloy material is commonly used for motorcycle piston. This study aims to determine the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties and microstructure of Aluminum Silicon A383 using the age hardening method with variations in aging temperature and different holding times. The testing of mechanical properties is done by testing the hardness and thermal conductivity. From the testing results, composition of aluminum alloy A383 composed of 73.30% aluminum, 22.08% silicon and highest hardness 105.9HB at an aging temperature 2000C within 30 minutes and the optimal value of the hardness and thermal conductivity of the aging variations performed are at temperature 2000C at holding time 88 minute. As the aging temperature increases, the hardness of aluminum increases and amount of silicon also increase.

Abstract In castings, microstructural features are products of metal chemistry and solidification conditions. The microstructural features, excluding defects, that most strongly affect the mechanical properties or aluminum castings are size, form, and distribution of intermetallic phases; dendrite arm spacing; grain size and shape; and eutectic modification and primary phase refinement. This chapter discusses the effects of these microstructural features on properties and methods for controlling them. The chapter concludes with a detailed examination of the refinement of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys.
