By changing the solidification rate, chemical modification and length of solution treatment we show that the ductility of the A1-7Si-0.4Mg casting alloy depends on the dendrite cell size and the size and shape of the silicon particles. For the strontium-modified alloy the ductility has a minimum at

Abstract
Plastic strain amplitude, temperature and electrical resistance measurements were performed on the aluminium‐magnesium alloy Al‐3Mg‐Mn (AA5454) in recrystallised condition to describe and evaluate the cyclic deformation behaviour in detail. The endurance limit was estimated in load increase tests (LIT). In stress‐controlled single step tests at ambient temperature the cyclic deformation behaviour is characterised by pronounced cyclic hardening, which leads to a saturation state with a plastic strain amplitude of nearly zero. Due to far‐reaching cross effects of the applied measuring techniques, the plastic strain amplitude, the change of the specimen temperature due to cyclic plastic loading and the change of the electrical resistance show a strong interrelation with the underlying fatigue processes. A new lifetime calculation method “PHYBAL” on the basis of the plastic strain amplitude, the change of the temperature and the change of the electrical resistance yields an excellent accordance with experimentally determined lifetimes. Microstructural details were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy.
