Influence of Solution Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Gd-Treated Al-15% Mg2Si In-Situ Composites

Microstructural alteration and tensile properties of Al-15% Mg2Si composite specimens was examined after addition of gadolinium (Gd) and conducting solution heat treatment. Various percentages of gadolinium (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 wt. % Gd) were added to the composite Al-15% Mg2Si composite. The spec...
