Abstract

This study is focused on effect of Ti−C−Sr and Ti−B−Sr modifying complexes on as-cast Al−7Si alloy microstructure. To identify the presence of mutual poisoning effect between boron and strontium complexly added into the melt, and the possibility of using Ti−C−Sr complex as an alternative to Ti−B−Sr complex in order to modify hypoeutectic Al−7Si alloy structure. Object of research: unmodified and modified hypoeutectic Al−7Si alloy. Using different methods of quantitative metallography structural parameters such as secondary dendritic arms spacing of α-Al solid solution (SDAS), volume fraction of α-Al solid solution and eutectic silicon shape parameter (PF) were defined. Based on these results conclusions are made in accordance with the objectives of the study.
