<p>Near-eutectic Al-Si-Mg alloys have gaining extensive application in automotive lightweight design; however, achieving an optimal strength-ductility balance remains a critical challenge. Meanwhile, there has been limited research on the influence of trace additions of Ti and V on the hot deformation behavior of near-eutectic Al-Si-Mg alloys. This study investigates the synergistic effects of trace additions of Ti and V on the microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-extruded near-eutectic Al-Si-Mg alloys. Two alloys were prepared: S3(Al-12.5Si-0.5&#xa0;Mg, wt.%) and O6(Al-12.5Si-0.5&#xa0;Mg-0.1Ti-0.1&#xa0;V, wt.%), both of which underwent hot extrusion. A comprehensive characterization campaign was carried out utilizing OM, SEM, EBSD, and tensile testing to systematically evaluate the influence of Ti-V additions on the microstructural evolution and mechanical performance of the near-eutectic Al-Si alloy in both as-cast and as-extruded conditions. The results indicate that the as-extruded O6 alloy exhibited a yield strength (YS) of 188&#xa0;MPa and an elongation of 11.2% after hot extrusion. In comparison with the as-extruded S3 alloy, which showed an YS of 125&#xa0;MPa and an elongation of 17.3%, the as-extruded O6 alloy demonstrated a remarkable 50% enhancement in YS while retaining adequate ductility. Trace Ti and V elements have a dual effect: improving the extruded alloy’s strength while maintaining high ductility. They suppress matrix dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion, inhibit dynamic precipitation of π-Fe and Mg₂Si phases, increase material’s intrinsic CRSS, and stabilize solid solution strengthening, thus significantly improving the strength of as-extruded near-eutectic Al-Si-Mg alloys. This study confirms that the combined addition of Ti and V serves as an effective approach for enhancing the overall performance of Al alloys, demonstrating significant potential for the development of hot-extruded Al profiles with well-balanced properties for industrial applications.</p>
