Abstract

Using optical microscope, electronic tensile testing machine, scanning electron microscopy methods, such as detailed treatment of the B hypoeutectic Al-Si alloy microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture morphology were studied. The results showed that after treatment by the B refinement, α-Al dendrite phase was refined, resulting in mechanical properties of Al-Si alloy significantly improved. Which, B content 0.036wt.%, the alloy the best, the σb, δ, respectively, than the non-thinning increased 67.8% and 15.2%. From the fracture surface, the fracture morphology of the specimen showed a quasi-cleavage fracture. Which, B content 0.036wt.% at the time of fracture is more deep dimples, and a good plastic toughness.
