Effect of silicon on strength and fracture surfaces of aluminium–silicon casting and heat treated alloys

Aluminium-silicon alloys having different silicon contents (13, 20 and 27 percent) were used in the present study. The molten alloys were poured in to a mild steel die to cast tensile test bars. Then tensile and hardness tests were performed in order to analyze the properties and fracture surfaces o...
