Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys have been widely utilized for wear-resistant components in the automotive industry. In order to expand the application of Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys, the addition of alloying elements forming a stable precipitate at high temperature is required. Thermally stable inter metallic compounds can be formed through the addition of transition elements such as Fe, Ni to Al alloys. However, the amount of transition element to be added to Al alloys is limited due to their low solid solubility. Also, hypereutectic Al-Si-Fe alloys form coarse primary Si phases and needle-shaped intermetallic compounds during solidification in the general casting processes. In this study, the effects of the destruction of Intermetallic compound and Si phase are investigated via hot extrusion. Both the microstructure and mechanical properties are discussed under different extrusion conditions.

Mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy are influenced by the size and distribution of primary Si. To investigate the effects of P addition and holding time, hypereutectic Al-Si alloys with various amount of P content were produced in the lab. Then, the size and distribution of primary Si were examined respectively. Mechanical properties of hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance were analyzed in conjunction with the microstructural variations in alloys.

Sc has been known to be an very effective ppt-hardening element in Al and Al alloys and also to be effective in modification of eutectic Si in hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys. The modification mechanism of Sc is different from that of the traditional modifier Sr in Al-Si alloys. In the present study the effects of Sc on the primary and eutectic Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys were investigated with evaluating the microstructures with OM, EPMA and EBSD methods. The results represent that Sc has only a small effect on primary Si when added less than $0.8wt\%$. However, when Sc addition leading to the precipitation of metallic Sc within primary Si reaches $1.6wt\%$, very coarse primary Si occurs.

Sr, added in the hypereutectic Al-Si alloys, is absorbed on the surfaces of primary Si as well as eutectic Si, and can change the growth mode of primary Si from non-faceted to faceted mode, as the amount of Sr increases larger than 0.04 wt.%, even though it cannot affect the grain size of primary Si, significantly. The EBSD analysis shows that the traction of ${\Sigma}3$ boundary(twin boundary) increases as the amount of Sr in the hypereutectic Al-Si alloys increase until the over-modification occurs at 1.6 wt.%Sr and proves that the change in growth mode of primary Si results from the change of TPRE growth to IIT growth.

Wear resistance and wear mechanism of hypereutectic Al-($15{\sim}40$)wt%Si alloys were investigated. Primary Si particles under $20{\mu}m$ size were formed in hypereutectic Al-Si alloy powders due to rapid solidification. But the Si particles of extruded bars were finely distributed in smaller size than that of atomized powders. The wear mechanism of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys was divided into three types of wear phenomena, which were abrasive wear, delamination wear and severe adhesive wear according to sliding speed and load. At low sliding speed and load, wear mechanism was abrasive wear, so Al-15wt%Si alloy showed the best wear resistance. At high sliding speed and load, wear mechanism was adhesive wear, and Al-40wt%Si alloy showed the best wear resistance.

Mechanical and thermal properties of spray-cast hypereutectic Al-20wt.%Si-xwt.%Fe alloys (x=0, 1, 3, 5) were investigated. After the spray-casting, hot extrusion was performed at $400^{\circ}C$. Intermetallic compound (${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$) and primary Si are observed in the spray-cast aluminum alloys. The size of primary Si and intermetallic compound of the spray-aluminum alloys became finer and more uniformly distributed than that of the permanent mold cast ones. Ultimate tensile strength of the spray-cast aluminum alloys increased by increasing Fe contents, but that of the permanent mold cast aluminum alloys decreased by increasing Fe contents possibly due to increased amount of coarse intermatallic compound. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the aluminum alloys became lower with finer primary Si and intermetallic compound, and this is attributed to the increased amount of interfacial area between the aluminum matrix and the phases of finer Si and intermetallic compound.

Spray casting of hypereutectic Al-Si based alloy has been reported to provide distinct advantages over ingot metallurgy (IM) or rapid solidification/powder metallurgy (RS/PM) process in terms of microstructure refinement. Hypereutectic Al-Si based alloys have been regarded attractive for automotive and aerospace application, due to high specific strength, good wear resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal stability, and good creep resistance. In this study, hypereutectic Al-25Si-2.0Cu-1.0Mg alloy was prepared by OSPREY spray casting process. High temperature deformation behavior of the hypereutectic Al-Si based alloy has been investigated by applying the internal variable theory proposed by Chang et al. The change of strain rate sensitivity and Creep transition were analyzed by using the load relaxation test and constant creep test.

Especially, the creep resistance of spray casted hypereutectic Al-Si alloy can be enhanced considerably by the accumulation of prestrain.

Hypereutectic Al-25Si-X alloys, expected to be applied to the cylinder-liner-part of the engine-block of an automobile due to the excellent wear resistance, low density and low thermal expansion coefficient has been fabricated through a spray forming process. The obtained microstructure of the hypereutectic Al-25Si-X alloy appeared to consist of Al matrix and equiaxed Si particles of average diameter of $5-7{\mu}m$. To characterize the deformation behavior of this alloy, a series of load relaxation and compression tests have been conducted at temperatures ranging from RT to $500^{\circ}C$. The strain rate sensitivity parameter (m) of this alloy has been found to be very low (0.1) below foot and reached 0.2 at $500^{\circ}C$. During the deformation above 300'c in compression, strain softening has been observed. The diagram of extrusion pressure vs. ram-speed has been constructed, providing the extrusion condition of Al-25Si-X alloys.

In this study, the effect of the reinforcement on the wear behaviour and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys was investigated. The Gas atomized hypereutectic Al-20Si alloy powders were mixed with 1, 3, and 5 wt.% AlN and TiC ceramic particles and consolidated by hotpress. The Al-20Si powder has both finely dispersed primary Si phases and eutectic structures. The Al-20Si-AlN, TiC composites showed that the reinforcements were distributed along the boundary of the Al-20Si alloy. The UTS increased with increasing the AlN, TiC contents. At a lower load, with an increasing weight fraction of reinforcements, the wear rate decreased in both composites and the wear mechanism was adhesive wear. At a higher load, the shape of the debris changes the mechanism of the AlN composites to abrasive-adhesion wear and this resulted in an increase of the wear rate.
