Abstract Secondary Al–Si alloys Al7. 1Si (1.5-x Mn) Fe (x Mn) Mn with x Mn= 0, 0.3, 0.375,
0.6, 0.75 at.% have been solidified with different cooling rates: 0.05 K/s, 1.4 K/s, 11.4 K/s and …

Abstract β-AlFeSi has a layered structure composed of FeAlSi blocks and exhibits a rich
variety of crystal chemistry. Plate-like/rod-like β-AlFeSi particles formed in Al-based alloys …

The application of hot isostatic pressing is often mandatory to improve the fatigue resistance
of aluminum cast alloys in order to meet the high quality requirements defined by automotive …

Primary intermetallic sludge formation in hypoeutectic secondary Al7. 1Si (1.5-x M) Fe x MM
alloys was investigated in view of potential Fe removal by separation of sludge and Al melt …

Frequent systematic misindexing of electron backscatter diffraction patterns with five
differently oriented pseudosymmetric solutions was observed for the cubic α-Al (Fe, M) Si …

The direct production of aluminum from bauxite ores is known to be a very energetic-
intensive operation compared to other metallurgical processes. Due to energy issues and …

In metal plates, the crack propagation mechanism sets the amount of the plastic deformation
before failure: a slanted or a cup–cone crack typically yields limited plate thinning within the …

Compound casting has received a great deal of attention as a useful method for fabricating a
single complicated part from dissimilar metallic materials. For example, in the case of …

A range of aluminum-based quaternary alloys was prepared by arc melting, followed by
suction casting. Silicon doping was proven to exhibit the high potential of stabilization of face …

Fe is a detrimental impurity element in secondary, ie recycled, Al–Si cast alloys (Zhang et al.
in Miner. Process. Extr. Metall. Rev. 33: 99, 2012; Raabe et al. in Prog. Mater. Sci. 128 …
