摘要：
The present work investigates the effects of various types of grain refiners on the impact properties of Srmodified A356.2 alloys in both the as-cast and heated-treated conditions. The results showed that the addition of Ti and B greatly improves the alloy toughness, but only when the alloy was in a fully modified state; moreover, the right type of master alloy and addition levels must be used. The highest values of the total absorbed energy recorded for T6-tempered alloys were obtained using Al-5% Ti-1% B and Al-10% Ti master alloys in addition to 0.04% Ti. A significant deterioration in the impact properties is observed due to the Sr-B interaction (in some cases). The improvements in toughness may be attributed to the change in Si particle morphology as well as to the dissolution and fragmentation of a number of the intermetallics formed during the T6 temper.
