The aim is to improve the strength and toughness of AlSi9MnMg alloys for automotive applications.
Designed and fabricated AlSi9MnMgCu alloy using squeeze casting.
Investigated the effects of T6 heat treatment on mechanical properties.
Characterized the microstructure using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
Achieved a tensile strength of 340 MPa after T6 heat treatment.
Yield strength increased to 255 MPa, with an elongation of 9.8%.
Fragmentation of the coarse Si phase and precipitation strengthening were observed.
