Al-7Si-Mg alloy castings have extensive applications in automotive industries, and the ten- sile properties of these alloys including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation are com- monly used to judge their mechanical properties. In this work, the modified precipitation kinetics model, yield strength model and strain hardening model have been proposed to predict the tensile properties of Al-7Si-Mg alloys. The precipitation kinetics model can be used to predict the precipitate microstructure pa- rameters including the precipitate density, size, size distribution, volume fraction, and composition and so on in these alloys, combining which with the strength model, their yield strengths can be obtained. The strain hardening model can be applied to simulate the stress-strain curves during tensile process, andthe ultimate tensile strengths and elongations can be obtained by combining this model with the experi- mental data fitted with the expression (σUTS-σY)=m·σv+n+f(Tss). First, the evolution of precipitate microstruc- ture parameters and yield strengths as a function of ageing time were simulated, and then their compari- sons with the experimental results were performed. The possible reasons resulting in the deviations be- tween simulated and experimental yield strengths were analyzed. The stress-strain curves during tensile process of Al-7Si-0.36Mg alloy were simulated using strain hardening model, and the influences of age- ing treatment and as-cast microstructure refining scale on the parameters of dislocation storage rate, dy- namic recovery rate and the stress-strain curves were analyzed. Then, the ultimate tensile strengths and elongations of Al-7Si-0.4Mg alloy aged at different temperatures were predicted which are in better agree- ment with the experimental results, and the influence of secondary dendrite arm spacing on tensile prop- erties was also analyzed. Finally, the limitation of present model and the factors influencing the prediction precision of tensile properties
