Influence of modification on the structure and morphology of fracture of AlSi13Mg1CuNi silumin

Abstract

The investigation revealed that the modification of the AlSi13Mg1CuNi silumin with the additives 0,25% AlSr10 and AlCu19P1,4 simultaneously provided the change of the morphology of eutectic silicon from the lamellar into the fibrous one. The change resulted in a double increase in the impact resistance of the alloy and the widening of the plastic area of the fracture of the silumin samples.
