Microstructure, dislocation and Si twinning of the alloys were studied by thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results showed that Al-6Sr-7La possesses better refining and modification effect than Al-5Ti-1B/Al-10Sr. Meanwhile, fatigue properties of the alloy treated by Al-6Sr-7La are higher than traditional treated alloy, and this is mainly owing to that Al-6Sr-7La treated alloy has more twins in eutectic Si and lower twin spacing. In addition, higher density of nanophases formed on twin faces and La-rich clusters appear at multiple twin intersections. Stacking faults and entrapped nanophases appeared on growing Si twin faces. Impurity induced twinning(IIT) mechanism and twin plane re-entrant edge(TPRE) mechanism are valid for eutectic Si which are important for mechanical optimization of A356.2 alloy.展开更多
