Effect of Al5Ti1B Grain Refiner and Al10Sr Modifier on Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of A360 Alloy

In this study, the effect of Al5Ti1B grain refiners and Al10Sr modifiers on mechanical corrosion properties A360 aluminum alloy was investigated. For purpose, varying amounts refiner modifier were added to molten metal poured into a per-manent mold. Subsequently, microstructural investigations, hardness test, tensile strength resistance samples examined. The results showed that, promotes finer-grained coaxial solidifi-cation. modifier, broke down eutectic particles in microstruc-ture caused more homogeneous distribution structure. While increased both alloy, slight decrease observed alloys which only added.
