AB  - This paper will investigate the changes in size and amount of the microstructural features in secondary aluminium casts associated with different wall thickness. The experimental samples were casting into the sand mould. The changes were documented and assessment by using optical microscope and methods of quantitative analysis. The results shows that increasing wall thicknes lead to formation larger second phases and coarsening of the matrix, which lead to decreasing mechanical properties.
