Abstract Scope |
Al–Mg–Si based casting alloys are considered as promising alloys for automotive applications because of their high strength along with high ductility. Recently, the yield strength of these alloys was tried to enhance through the aging-treatment (T5- temper), which, however, led to only slight increase in the yield strength compared to as-cast condition. However, few studies have been done regarding the response of Al–Mg–Si based alloys to the T6- heat-treatment. The subjecting of these alloys to solution heat treatment (SHT) process can lead to a more saturated solid solution and as a result, enhanced precipitation hardening response is expected. Furthermore, there is also need to study the effects of compositional variation on T6- heat treatment response of Al–Mg–Si based alloys. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate heat-treatment response of Al–Mg–Si alloys with varying Mg/Si ratios. |
