How Slight Solidification Rate Variations within Cast Plate Affect Mechanical Response: A Study on As-Cast A356 Alloy with Cu Additions

<div>BSE images of some intermetallic phases detected in the Cu-containing alloy (Cu1), in the as-cast condition. EDS measurements indicate the nature of the intermetallic compound as Al<sub>2</sub>Cu, <i>β</i>-Al<sub>5</sub>FeSi, and Cu/Mg bearing intermetallics.</div>
