Abstract
The following paper presents results of the researches on the influence of Sr addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of EN AC-Al Si9Cu3(Fe) HPDC alloy. Two different elements were high pressure die cast for the research, one with Sr addition, second one without. Investigations involved light and scanning electron microscopy as well as hardness and tensile testing. EN AC-Al Si9Cu3(Fe) HPDC alloy microstructure is characterized by a fine dendrites of α-Al solid solution and AlSi binary eutectic mixture. What is more, many intermetallic phases are observed in the alloy. These are: α-Al15(Fe,Mn,Cr)3Si2, β-A5FeSi, A2Cu, π-A8Mg3FeSi6 and Q-Al5Mg8Cu2Si6. Sr modified alloy is characterized by a significant volume fraction of fine, fibrous AlSi-eutectic. The porosity in the modified alloy slightly decreased. Mechanical properties of the alloy increased after Sr modification.
