Effects of T6 treatment on the microstructural changes, hardness and thermal analysis of As-Cast Al-Si-Mg alloys

Aluminium-silicon-magnesium is usually applied in automotive industry such as in block engine. The main objective of this project is to study the changes in microstructure, hardness and the thermal analysis curve after the sample were processed starting from as received, as-cast, solution treatment...
