In general, melt pool boundary (MPB) characteristics and Si morphologies have strong
influences on micro-macroscopic plastic behavior and fracture mode. They are the main …

Although A356 aluminum alloy has poor ductility and strength, the refinement of the initial α-
Al phase has shown promise in improving these properties. The impact of grain refinement …

Abstract Eutectic Al-Ni alloys are widely faced as materials to be considered for advanced
structural components. Nevertheless, still there is a lack of research on microstructural …

In the present work, the microstructural evolution and mechanical property of as-cast Al–6
Mg–0.8 Mn alloys with respect to the solidification cooling rate was investigated. The results …

In the endeavor to maximize the refinement effect of primary Si and alleviate the inherent
brittleness of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy, the approach of coating P as a modifier on powder …

The fabrication of high-performance two-dimensional nanosheets strengthened Al matrix
composites (AMCs) is challenging due to the agglomeration issue of traditional nanosheets …

The effect of Zn addition on the as-cast microstructures, mechanical properties and dry
sliding wear behavior of Al-2wt% Mg-Zn alloys is investigated in this study. Two Al-Zn-Mg …

Abstract The Al-11 wt% Si-5 wt% Ni eutectic alloy was directionally solidified (DS) under
transient heat flow conditions at cooling rates in a range of about 1–25° C/s along the length …

High intensity power ultrasound was respectively introduced into three different solidification
stages of Al–8% Si hypoeutectic alloy, including the fully liquid state before nucleation, the …

The present work aims to investigate the microstructure evolution along the length of a
directionally solidified Al–8wt.% Ni hypereutectic alloy with a view to tailoring the range of …
