Typical modifiers are Na, Sr, and Sb that alters Si into a fibrous structure. Fluidity and mechanical properties increase as well as machinability can be improved. In this work, eutectic Al-Si alloy was modified with Al10Sr, CuSn5, and Al10Sr + CuSn5 master alloys. Microstructural characterization was carried out by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Density and hardness of the samples were measured. Wear tests were carried out. It was found that Sr modified Al12Si revealed better performance than CuSn modified.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAl-Si eutecticwear resistancemodificationArticle61010.1088/2053-1591/ab3c0f2-s2.0-85072121302Q2WOS:000484129300002Q3
