Efforts to identify and characterize the physical properties of aluminum castings alloys are envisaged to lead to a new guideline from which the mechanical behavior of these alloys can be accurately predicted. For aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) casting alloys the tensile properties of a specific composition are observed to vary depending on the production parameters. The difference in the tensile properties appears to be mainly due to the microstructural features concomitant with the imposed production parameters. The present study aims to identify, quantitatively, the tensile properties influencing variables in high purity eutectic Al-Si casting alloy produced under a variety of solidification cooling rate with different strontium (Sr) additions, as a modifying agent. The correlation between the fracture characteristics and the microstructures has also been investigated.
