Role of Mg2Si precipitates size in determining the ductility of A357 cast alloy

This study evaluates the heat treatment effects on microstructural and mechanical properties of A357 alloy. Solution treatments performed at 540 °C for 6, 8, and 10 h represent identical microstructures and show that the eutectic phase is partially dissolved into the matrix, resulting in Si particle...
