Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Composite Made of Al-Si-Cu-Mg Aluminum Alloy Reinforced with SiC Particles

In this paper, the effect of heat treatment (solution treatment and artificial aging) on the microstructure and properties of as-cast Al5Si1Cu0.5Mg aluminum alloy and its composite reinforced with 1.5 wt.% SiC particles was studied. The results showed that at 520 °C the optimal solution tim...
