The high temperature tensile properties of hyper-eutectic A1-Si alloys were studied at temperatures between 683 and 813 K at initial strain rates between 8.3X10 "4 and 4.2• 1 s ~ . The alloys were prepared from prealloyed powders and ribbons, which were respectively fabricated by the centrifugal atomization and melt spinning, through the hot extrusion process at an extrusion ratio of 110:1. The extruded alloy bars prepared from the powders and ribbons, i.e. the powder-extruded and ribbon-extruded bars, have homogenous microstructures with the fine silicon particles dispersed in the aluminum matrices for the A1-25Si and AI-15Si alloys. The maximum elongation-to-failure of the powder-extruded bar and the ribbon-bar are almost equal, 150%, for the A1-25Si alloy. In the AI-15Si alloy, the ribbon-extruded bar has superior elongation compared to the powder-extruded bar, that is, these are respectively 520% and 400%. The maximum elongation was attained at the relatively high strain rate of 10 -5 s-' independent of the silicon content and solidification process.
