Abstract

Al-Si alloys were modified by addition of cerium (Ce) or Ce plus strontium (Sr) to study the effect on the eutectic silicon (Si) morphology. The modified alloys were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and thermal analysis to understand the effect of Ce and Sr on their microstructure. The results showed that addition of 1% Ce resulted in only partial modification of the Si phase, whereas addition of Ce with 0.04% Sr resulted in complete modification of the alloy. Addition of 1% Ce decreased the eutectic arrest temperature by about 10°C, compared with a 5°C drop with Sr addition only. SEM energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and XRD results revealed formation of Al2Si2Ce intermetallic in the Ce-modified Al-Si alloys. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the intermetallic formed just before the eutectic phase.
