Comprehensive Evaluation of Modification Level Assessment in Sr-Modified Aluminium Alloys
One way to improve the mechanical properties of Al–Si alloys is to add chemical modifiers that affect the microstructure of the cast components. Small amounts of Sr cause the modification of the eutectic Si pa...

The Influence of Ni and V Trace Elements on High-Temperature Tensile Properties and Aging of A356 Aluminum Foundry Alloy
High-temperature tensile properties of unmodified A356 alloy with and without the addition of Ni or V in traces (600 and 1000 ppm of Ni and V, respectively) were investigated by analyzing samples obtained from...

Impact Behavior of A356 Foundry Alloys in the Presence of Trace Elements Ni and V
In the present work, the impact behavior of unmodified A356 alloys with the addition of Ni or V in as-cast and T6 heat-treated conditions was assessed. Charpy V-notched specimens obtained from sand and permane...

A comparative study on the effects of three commercial Ti–B-based grain refiners on the impact properties of A356 cast aluminium alloy
The effect of three commercial Ti–B-based grain refiners on the impact properties of the A356 cast aluminium alloy was assessed. The impact tests were performed by means of an instrumented Charpy pendulum. Dur...
