Abstract

The influence of cooling rate on the chemical composition and morphological structure of Fe-rich intermetallics in a secondary Al–Si–Cu alloy has been investigated by using several analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spec-troscopy and backscattered electron diffraction. Mor-phological, chemical composition and size evolution of α-Al(Fe, Mn, Cr)Si have been observed and characterized under different solidification conditions. By varying the cooling rate, α-Al(Fe, Mn, Cr)Si blocky crystals, as well as chinese-script, branched structures and dendrites form, while coarse β-Al(Fe, Mn)Si needles appear at lower cooling rates.

Keywords: Al–Si–Cu alloy; Fe-rich phases; Cooling rate; Solidification; Microstructure
