In this research, the hypereutectic Al�20Si alloy, containing an optimised amount of 4 wt- γ-Al2O3 and 0.1 wt- strontium, was successfully synthesised through the suction casting process. The cooling rate (563 K s�1) involved during solidification was estimated by measuring secondary dendritic arm spacing. As a result, a significant change in the morphology of silicon was observed and also led to the formation of a small fraction of refined α-Al throughout the microstructure. The work demonstrates that high tensile properties in hypereutectic Al�20Si alloys can be achieved without the use of conventional inoculants (such as phosphorus). The suction cast Al�20Si alloy exhibits remarkably enhanced tensile properties of average ultimate tensile strength of 355 MPa and average ductility of 7.1. © 2020, © 2020 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
