There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

The mechanical properties of aluminium–silicon casting alloys containing Cu and Mg are
known to be improved by heat treatment. Over 60 papers are reviewed here in order to …

The microstructure and precipitates within selectively laser melted (SLM) AlSi10Mg alloys in
the as-built state and after T6 heat treatment were examined and correlated to the hardness …

A357 alloy was manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) and subjected to different
heat treatments, by considering the stress relief step as critical, to establish the …

This work proposes a T6-like heat treatment, including solid-solution treatment at 535° C
and an artificial aging treatment for 10 h at 158° C, to control the mechanical behavior of …

A fast-cooling technology using a copper mould cooled by a phase-transition medium was
used to prepare cast aluminium-A356 alloy by solidification of the melt. The cooling rate …

The paper deals with the production, heat treatment, microstructural and mechanical
characterization of innovative Al-Si-Mg alloys based on Al-7Si-0.4 Mg (A356) with additions …

This study evaluates the heat treatment effects on microstructural and mechanical properties
of A357 alloy. Solution treatments performed at 540° C for 6, 8, and 10 h represent identical …

The development of aluminum alloys for automotive powertrain applications is in high
demand due to the required weight reduction and fuel efficiency. The aim of this study was to …

Two heat treatments of A356 alloys with combined addition of rare earth and strontium were
conducted. T6 treatment is a long time treatment (solution at 535° C for 4 h+ aging at 150° C …
