The effects of Beryllium (Be) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-15%Mg2Si composite were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of Be content, the average size and volume fraction of primary Mg(2)Sl particles decreases. Pseudo-eutectic Mg2Si has mainly a fine fibrous structure in both specimens with and without Be. However, in the samples containing Be, the path for crack propagation along cell boundaries is very tortuous. Meanwhile, beta(Al-Mg-Be) phase based on a beta-Al3Mg2 phase of the Al-Mg system was observed in specimens containing Be. It was found that with the addition of Be the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation values improved. A study of the specimen's fracture surfaces via scanning electron microscope revealed that Be increases the number of fine dimples and decohered Mg2Si particles. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
