Effects of Co on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-20Si-2Cu-1Ni-0.5Mn Alloy
With the help of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and quantitative photograph analysis software
the effects of Co content varied from 0 to 1.5% on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-20Si-2Cu-1Ni-0.5Mn alloy were investigated.The results show that
the volume fraction and average diameter of Co-containing intermetallic compounds are increased with the increase of Co content.Meanwhile
the morphology of Co-containing phases is converted from small bulky structure to well-developed dendrites.The addition of Co has a worse effect on the tensile strength of the hypereutectic Al-Si alloy.In addition
the modification effects of Co content on primary Si in the alloy can be ignored.
