Enhancement of the Thermal Stability of Engine Block Alloy Al-10Si-1Cu-0.5Mg-0.5Ni-0.5Fe with Trace Additions of Ti and Zr by Mohammad Salim KAISER

“…Trace addition  reduced the alloys' toughness as well as thermal conductivity to a small extent due to grain refinement  and precipitation formation, but these properties improved during aging due to recovery and recrystallization. Microstructural analysis of the alloys indicated that trace additions facilitated the formation of more finely distributed grains, contributing to grain refinement and preventing recrystallization in the  over-aged state. …”
