- Abstract
The influence of Sm (Samarium) content on microstructure and mechanical properties of recycled die-cast YL112 aluminum alloys was investigated. The results show that many small Sm-rich particles form in the recycled die-cast YL112 alloys with Sm addition. At the same time, the secondary dendrite arm spacing in the YL112 alloys modified with Sm is smaller than that of the unmodified alloy. The eutectic Si of recycled diecast YL112-xSm alloys transforms from coarse acicular morphology to fine fibres. Mechanical properties of the investigated recycled die-cast YL112 aluminum alloys are enhanced with Sm addition, and a maximal ultimate tensile strength value (276 MPa) and elongation (3.76%) are achieved at a Sm content of 0.6wt.%. Due to the modification of eutectic Si by Sm, numerous tearing ridges and tiny dimples on the fractures of tensile samples are observed.
