The influence of annealing time on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-14.5Si alloys was investigated. Our results indicated that high elongation was achieved by super-gravity solidification due to the submicron eutectic Si, making it possible to undertake the conventional cold-rolling. The yield strength (~214 \u00b1 11 MPa) was significantly enhanced (~68.5%) after cold-rolling mainly due to high dislocation density. The coarsening of eutectic Si could be observed during annealing, which resulted in a decrease in yield strength. The elimination of internal stress and lattice distortion during annealing led to a decrease in micro-cracks\/voids beneath the fracture surface during tensile testing, which in turn enhanced the elongation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15165475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T04:20:32Z","timestamp":1660105232000},"page":"5475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Influence of Annealing Time on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-14.5Si Alloy Prepared by Super-Gravity Solidification and Cold-Rolling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zhanghua","family":"Gan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Technology Research Center of Marine Materials and Service Safety, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yin","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuehui","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuandong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Technology Research Center of Marine Materials and Service Safety, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Refractories and Metallurgy, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Technology Research Center of Marine Materials and Service Safety, Wuhan 430081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102959","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mtcomm.2021.102959","article-title":"Study on the mechanism of Al-Si alloy preparation via aluminothermic reduction-molten salt electrolysis in KF-AlF3 molten salt","volume":"29","author":"Guan","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mater.
