Influence of Zn and Cr Additions on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al–Mg–Si–Zr–Cu Multicomponent HPDC Alloys

This study develops novel multicomponent Al–Mg–Si–Zr–Cu-based alloys for high-pressure die casting (HPDC) with improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. Four compositions were designed through Zn and Cr additions, supported by thermodynamic modelling. XRD and SEM/EDS...
