Effects of La addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum and aluminum alloys
Abstract
Abstract Aluminum and aluminum alloys have been the subject of increasing attention as electrical and structural materials. The increasing application has led to higher requirements for the performance of aluminum and aluminum alloys. In this work, the effect of La content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum, 413 cast alloy, and 3104 wrought alloy was invested through optical microscopy and mechanical performance. Experimental results indicated that adding La was beneficial to grain refinement and improved the mechanical properties of aluminum, 413, and 3104 alloys.
