Description In the present study, the microstructural features and its correlation with mechanical properties of modified strain-induced melt activation (modified SIMA) processed Al- (7, 12, 14 wt-%) Si alloys are investigated. The microstructure of modified SIMA process Al-Si alloys consists of globular alpha-Al grains, primary Si particles and Al-Si eutectic phase. The casting defects and surface roughness are minimised and the morphology of eutectic silicon is modified after modified SIMA treatment. The mechanical properties of modified SIMA processed samples are increased significantly as compare to as-cast alloy due to reduction of porosity, formation of fine globular microstructu+re and accumulation of high dislocation tangle near primary Si particles.
