The role of Zr and T6 heat treatment on microstructure evolution and hardness of AlSi9Cu3(Fe) diecasting alloy

The microstructure features and hardness of AlSi9Cu3(Fe) die casting alloy was investigated in the presence of Zr addition. The cast alloys were undergone the solutionizing treatment 2 h at 500°C followed by artificial aging at 180°C for 5 h. Optical microscopy and electron micro-analyzer w...
