The effect of β-iron intermetallics and porosity on the tensile properties in cast Al-Si-Cu and Al-Si-Mg alloys were investigated for this research study, using experimental and industrial 319.2 alloys, and industrial A356.2 alloys. The results showed that the alloy ductility and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were subject to deterioration as a result of an increase in the size of P-iron intermetallics, most noticeable up to P-iron intermetallic lengths of ～100 μm in 319.2 alloys, or ～70 μm in A356.2 alloys. An increase in the size of the porosity was also deleterious to alloy ductility and UTS. Although tensile properties are interpreted by means of UTS vs. log elongation plots in the present study, the properties for all sample conditions were best interpreted by means of log UTS vs. log elongation plots, where the properties increased linearly between conditions of low cooling rate-high Fe and high cooling rate-low Fe. The results are explained in terms of the β-Al_5FeSi platelet size and porosity values obtained.
