In this work, effort was made to produce the material via casting route. The studied alloys were cast under the condition of near-rapid cooling. The influence of Ce addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of near-rapid solidified alloys were investigated. The results indicate that the as-cast microstructure of Al-5.5 Fe-1.1 V-0.6 Si alloy is significantly refined when the alloy was solidified under nearrapid cooling. Adding Ce results in the further refinement of intermetallic compound and the formation of an Al-V-Ce phase which replaces the primary phase Al(Fe,V)Si. The mechanical properties of the alloy are significantly improved by Ce addition: More than 70% increase in tensile strength and elongation is achieved by adding 1.00 wt% Ce to the alloy. It is concluded that near-rapid cooling and Ce addition are effective in improving mechanical properties of cast Al-5.5 Fe-1.1 V-0.6 Si alloy.展开更多
