In this work a number of cast samples of A356 and A390 were prepared by rheocasting in a specially designed and built furnace unit allowing for the addition of the nano-particles into the molten Al-Si alloy with mechanical stirring. The microstructure features and the mechanical properties of the cast samples were investigated, as well as resistance to wear and corrosion in laboratory tests. The results obtained in this work showed improved wear and corrosion resistance of the nano-dispersed hypereutectic A390 alloys, as well as enhancement in the mechanical strength of the nano-dispersed hypoeutectic A356 alloys, accompanied by significant increase in the elongation percentage, supported by evidence of refined dendrite arms length, and inter-lamellar spacing. The work also shows significant enhancement in the wear and corrosion performance of the nanodispersed alloys.
