The present study aims to develop A356 Al-Si alloy using high purity aluminium and various master alloy in gas fired pit furnace. Three different ratio of salt modifier (1:1, 1:2 & 1:3) was used to prepare the casting. Sand casting and permanent mould casting techniques were used to prepare the alloys. Optical microscope and universal tensile testing machine were used for the metallurgical evaluation of the prepared alloy. It was observed that the addition of modifier improved the mechanical properties and microstructure of the alloy. It was also observed that modifying agent NaF with CaCl2in 1:1 ratio has shown the best results in terms of microstructure and the mechanical properties.
