About this document
Metallic Additives in Aluminum Alloys by eidelsayed is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study that investigated the effect of adding different amounts of cerium (Ce) to an Al-Mg-Si alloy. Samples with 0-0.194% Ce were produced and characterized. Microstructural analysis found that Ce additions refined grain structures and resulted in more spherical particles. Tensile testing showed strength and hardness increased up to 0.054% Ce but decreased at higher amounts. Overall, Ce additions improved properties but too much Ce reduced ductility.
