Effect of microalloying on the structure and properties of alloys in the Al−Si−Cu system

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    For alloys of the Al−Si−Cu system that bear a diminished iron content the optimum alloying combination is Ti+B+Cd, which increases the dispersity of the structure and elevates the properties due to the modifying action of the alloying elements.

  2. 2.

    Microalloying of cast alloy AK11M5 with an alloying set of 0.17% Ti+0.04% B+0.15% Cd increases the strength by ≥25% with a simultaneous increase in the ductility.
