AbstractIn this project, Al alloys with Al-10Sn-xSi (x = 2, 4, 6) composition will be melted in the graphite furnace by using a vacuum melting furnace, and melt coke molds will be poured to obtain tensile specimens. A portion of the specimen will then be annealed at 400 °C for 1.5 hours in the annealing furnace. For both non- tempering the samples annealed, step sanding, 6, 3, 1-micron particle size diamond suspension and felt the fine polishing, and finally, etching ending sample Material research development from SEM images, EDX analysis will be done. With SEM, surface morphology, composition analysis with EDX, diffraction pattern and crystallographic orientations and crystal parameters, phases formed and distribution of these phases, grain sizes will be examined and their structural properties will be revealed as a result.
