The effect of Si addition on the microstructure and tensile properties of casting Al-5.0Cu-0.6Mn-1.2Fe alloys [PDF]
In this work, we studied the effect of Si on the microstructure and tensile properties of the as-cast Al-5.0Cu-0.6Mn-1.2Fe alloys which were produced by casting with or without applied pressure. The results show that the addition of Si can significantly influence the microstructure and tensile properties of the alloys.

Quantifying structure-property relationships during resistance spot welding of an aluminum 6061-T6 joint [PDF]
Microstructure-property relationships of resistance spot welded 6061-T6 aluminum alloy lap joints were investigated via mechanical testing and microscopy techniques. Quasi-static tensile and novel shear punch tests were employed to measure the mechanical properties of the distinct weld regions.
