Abstract In this paper, the effect of Co on iron-rich phase in Al-10Si-1.5Fe alloy was studied by adding different content of Co. The results show that Co can effectively modify acicular iron-rich phase structure. With the increase of Co content, acicular β-phase gradually transforms into a small block of α-Al15 (Fe, Co)3Si2 phase structure. When the Co/Fe ratio is 1.5, the acicular Fe phase disappears, the average length of Fe phase reaches the minimum of 15.4 μm, and the refinement effect is the best. At the same time, the tensile strength of the alloy reaches the maximum value of 152.7 MPa, and the maximum elongation after fracture is 1.58%, which is 66.8% and 61.2% higher than that of the original alloy without Co addition, respectively. With the excessive addition of cobalt, the agglomeration of small bulk rich (Fe, Co) intermetallic compounds occurs, and the precipitation of white filamentary Co-rich phase (Al3Co) leads to the decrease of alloy properties. It can be seen that the addition of Co element in the matrix will react with the Fe element in the Fe compounds to variety intermetallic compounds. At the same time, different Co content will also affect the morphology of the intermetallic compounds.
