AB  - In the present study, the statistical design of experiments (DOE) method was 
      applied to study and control the properties of near-eutectic Al-11%Si alloys. In 
      this study, we developed regression equations between response variables, 
      including hardness, yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, elongation, total 
      cutting force, cutting power, and tool life, and varying factors which included 
      the percentage of the alloying element in the composition and the modification 
      level. These equations may be analyzed quantitatively to acquire an understating 
      of the effects of the main variables and their interactions on the mechanical 
      behavior and the machinability of the alloy under investigation. Analysis of 
      variance (ANOVA) was performed to verify the fit and adequacy of the developed 
      mathematical models. The results show that increasing the levels of Cu and Fe 
      results in an increase in hardness, yield stress and ultimate tensile strength in 
      both modified and non-modified alloys. On the other hand, both Cu and Fe appear 
      to affect the elongation adversely, whereas the Sr level shows a positive effect 
      on the elongation percentage. We found that the Sr level had the most significant 
      effect on the cutting forces and cutting power, followed by Fe and Cu contents.
