Effect of Cooling Rates on Tensile Properties of Fe-Rich Al-Si Alloys

According to recent research in the journal Materials, the mechanical and thermal properties of iron-rich Al-Si alloys are associated with the presence of a large amount of the iron-rich phase (-Al5FeSi), whose unfavorable physiology not only separates the matrix but also induces tensile stress and interface incompatibility with the Al matrix.
