abstract = "In this study, an AlMg8Si9Cu10Zn10 (in wt\%) alloy is fabricated with a high volume fraction of coarse secondary phases, which is higher fraction than in the conventional piston alloys. Ingots are cast in a permanent mold after an ultrasonic melt treatment for 60 s at the temperature range of 750–700 °C. Microstructure of AlMgSiCuZn alloy consists of Si, Zn, Mg2Si, Q-Al5Cu2Mg8Si6, and θ-Al2Cu phases. By the heat-treatment at 440 °C, Q-phase at the vicinity of blocky Mg2Si phase grows and the roundness of the second phases increases with respect to the heat-treating time. Compared with the as-cast specimen, room-temperature ultimate compressive strength of the heat-treated specimens increases. However, maximum compressive stress at 350 °C is slightly decreased by heat treatment. The formation of fine clusters increases the ultimate compressive strength, while the spheroidization of bulky secondary phases during heat treatment deteriorates the ultimate compressive strengths.",
