Effect of Fe and Mn Content on the Microstructures and Tensile Behaviour of AlSi7Cu3 Alloy: Thermal Analysis and Tensile Tests
The present study was performed on two AlSi7Cu3 alloys with different Fe and Mn contents (standard alloy and high-Fe/Mn alloy). The evolution of microstructures during solidification of the standard AlSi7Cu3 a...
