Abstract

Qualitative microstructure investigations of the AlSiMg alloy’s microstructure in both its original state (with the characteristic primary structure) and after precipitation hardening revealed the significant heterogeneity of the eutectic phases concerning their shape, size, and distribution. An evaluation of the stereological parameters of the eutectic phases was carried out. The computer-image analysis was performed in order to define the fraction of the relative volume and shape of the eutectic phases and to establish their influence on the mechanical properties.
