    Abstract Aluminium-Silicon alloys are in high de-mand as an engineering material for automotive,aerospace and other engineering applications. Mechanical properties of Al-Si alloys depend not only on chemical composition but also more importantly on microstructural features such as dendritic alpha-aluminiumphase and eutectic silicon particles. As an additive to Al-Si alloys, sodium improves mechanical properties byforming finer and fewer needles like microstructures.Thus, prediction of the macro and microstructures obtained at the end of the solidification is of great interest for the manufacturer of aluminium alloys. Neuralnetworks are sophisticated nonlinear regression routinesthat, when properly “trained”, allow for the identificationof More >
