The Effect of T6 Heat Treatment on AlSi12 Alloy
摘要
Al-Si alloys are widely preferred in aerospace, defense, automobile, and general engineering industries. Major alloying element is silicon, and it is main reason for achieving good mechanical properties. AlSi12 is the most studied and preferred alloy in the literature. The impact of the T6 heat treatment process is investigated on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AlSi12 alloy. According to the obtained results, the improvement of mechanical properties of AlSi12 alloy is attributed to morphological transformation in the microstructure.
