Abstract
The present work studies the effect the solution heat treatment, during artificial ageing and
re-aging, has on the mechanical properties of an A357 aluminium alloy component formed by New
Rheocasting. The effect that the evolution of silicon, during the solution treatment at various times,
has on the mechanical properties was also examined. The mechanical properties were evaluated
performing tensile tests, fractographical analysis and hardness tests. The microstructural
characterization was made using optical and electronic microscopy.
