Investigation on microstructural and microhardness evolution in as-cast and T6/heat-treated samples of a horizontally solidified AlSiCu alloy

In this investigation, in order to evaluate the influence of microstructures on the microhardness of an aluminum-based multicomponent alloy, samples of the horizontally solidified Al-7 wt.%Si-3 wt.%Cu alloy were subjected to the T6 heat treatment. Microhardness (HV) measurements were carried out in...
