microstructure evolution during solidification since the as-solidified microstructure also has
effects on the subsequent thermo-mechanical processing. In the present investigation Al-
7wt.% Si-xMg (x= 0.5 and 1 wt.%) alloys are subjected to transient directional solidification
with a view to characterizing the microstructure evolution, with special focus on both
dendritic evolution and the inherent features of the Mg2Si and π-AlSiFeMg intermetallics …
The development of Al-based alloys presumes a detailed understanding of the
microstructure evolution during solidification since the as-solidified microstructure also has
effects on the subsequent thermo-mechanical processing. In the present investigation Al-
7wt.% Si-xMg (x= 0.5 and 1 wt.%) alloys are subjected to transient directional solidification
