Excellent thermal conductivity and lower density make Al–Si alloys a suitable alternative for
cast iron in the fabrication of engine components. The increase in the maximum operation …

In this article, aspects related to A319 (AlSi5Cu3) and A356 (AlSi7Mg) alloy are covered
owing to their prominent role in the automotive and aerospace industries. It is important to …

In this study, the three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of different unmodified and Sr-
modified Al–Si base alloys is characterized by a novel focused ion beam-energy dispersive …

In this article, mechanical and low-cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of piston aluminum alloys
were characterized. In addition, the effect of the reinforcement including nano-clay-particles …

In the present paper, the heat treatment effect on A356. 0, a cast aluminum alloy which has
been widely used in diesel engine cylinder heads, is investigated under out-of-phase …

Abstract The Zr-modified Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloy with 0.14 wt% Zr addition was studied against
the counterparts of commercially used EN-AC-42000 (Al7Si0. 5Cu) baseline alloy for the …

In automotive industries, one failure mechanism in engine pistons is due to the fatigue
phenomenon. Therefore, to enhance fatigue properties of piston aluminum alloys is a major …

In this study, the Influence of the T6 heat-treating and over-ageing process on the material
behavior of cylinder head Al-Si-Cu alloy under out-of-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue at …

In the present article, the influence of the heat treatment on high-cycle fatigue and fracture
behaviors of piston aluminum–silicon alloys was studied. For this objective, standard …

In this paper, different hypo-eutectic Al–Si cast alloys with varying silicon, copper and iron
contents were tested under thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) conditions to achieve a unified …
