Material extrusion additive manufacturing of metal (metal MEX), which is one of the 3D
printing processes, has gained more interests because of its simplicity and economics. Metal …

The three-dimensional (3-D) architecture of rigid multiphase networks present in
AlSi10Cu5Ni1 and AlSi10Cu5Ni2 piston alloys in as-cast condition and after 4h …

In this study we describe the effect of the main alloying elements Si, Cu and Ni on the
thermal properties of hypoeutectic and near-eutectic Al–Si foundry alloys. By means of …

Microstructures and mechanical properties of T7 heat-treated Al-5.0 Cu-0.6 Mn-1.0 Fe alloys
with different Ni content prepared via squeeze casting were studied using tensile testing …

In this work, nano-AlN particle (nano-AlN p) microskeletons were introduced into an Al–Si–
Cu–Ni–Mg alloy by Al–8AlN master alloy in which the nano-AlN p reinforcements connect …

Porous carbon-supported atomically ordered intermetallic compounds (IMCs) are promising
electrocatalysts in boosting oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for fuel cell applications …

The effects of microstructural characteristics on the mechanical properties of an aluminum
alloy (ADC12: Al–Si 11.3–Cu 1.9–Zn 0.8–Fe 0.8–Mg 0.2–Mn 0.2) produced by various …

Si addition is commonly used to modify the iron-rich intermetallics in Al–Cu–Mn–Fe alloys,
which is beneficial to increasing the use of recycled aluminum. Most of the available …

The strengthening of micro-sized phases and nano-precipitates to the Al–Mg 2 Si–Cu (–Ni)
alloys was studied at 25° C and 350° C. In the Al–15% Mg 2 Si–5% Cu alloy, lots of nano …

A very effective approach is proposed here to increase the high-temperature fatigue life of
an Al-Si piston alloy. Compared with traditional T6 heat treatment, the high-temperature …
