The mechanical properties (σb, σ0.2, and δ) and fracture behavior of tensile specimens of the refined A356 alloys were investigated as a func-tion of the addition level of Al-Ti-B master alloy under both as-cast and T6 hot-treated conditions. The results show that as the addition level of Al-5Ti- 1B master alloy increases from 0.1 wt.% to 5.0 wt.%, the mechanical properties of refined A356 alloys improve steadily and then decrease slightly under both as-cast and T6 heat-treated conditions. Also, they display excellent mechanical properties with σb = 231.30-258.30 Mpa, σ0.2 = 134.00-155.50 Mpa, and δ= 8.5%-11.75% at T6 heat-treated state. The excellent mechanical properties of refined A356 alloys are ascribed to the formation of a-Al equiaxed dendrites, the improvement of eutectic structure from needle/plate-like to short-lathy/block-shaped, and the Mg2Si aging precipitation phase after T6 heat treatment. The fracture surface examined by SEM exhibits a mixed fracture mode of refined A356 alloys at as-cast state, while it reveals a ductile fracture mode after T6 heat treatment.
