Abstract
Mechanical property of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy is changed according to size and distribution of primary Si. Consequently, the study on the refinement for primary Si is progressed for a long time. But such effect of refinement comes out fading phenomena with the lapse of time. Therefore, this study investigated the optimum condition of primary Si refinement for hypereutectic Al-Si alloy. And we observed various primary Si size with P's fading phenomena. The experiment results were as follows. For experiment of primary Si refinement, we made hypereutectic Al-Si alloy with various amounts of P addition. As a result of experiment, we obtained the fine microstructure at 0.01wt.%P. And the optimum condition of P addition, for preventing from growth of primary Si by P fading, is estimated 0.1wt.%P.
