Microstructures and phases of the alloys were studied with optical microscope （OM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray diffractometer （XRD） and energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS）. Mechanical properties of alloys were measured with tensile tester. The results show that yttrium and/or strontium additions produce a strong grain refining effect in LA113 alloy. AI2Y and AI4Sr, etc. phases with different morphologies are verified and exist inside the grain or at the grain boundaries, which directly impact on the mechanical properties of LA113 alloy. The results of tensile tests show that, the as-extruded LA113-1Y-1 Sr alloy obtains the optimal tensile property of which the tensile strength and elongation are 253.56 MPa and 18.12%, the tensile strength is increased by almost 25% compared with the as- extruded LA113 alloy.展开更多
