Abstract
In an investigation into the effect of effectof magnesium on the antimony modification of Al−11.8Si eutectic alloy, it was found that the finer-lamella eutectic silicon in Al−11.8Si modified with 0.2% antimony became a shorter, granulated rod form with a 0.2–0.6 percent increase in magnesium. The tensile strengthand elongation of the alloy increased by 8.5 percent and 69 percetn, respectively.
