Nano-scale eutectics, such as rapid solidified Al–Si, exhibit enhanced yield strength and
strain hardening but plasticity is limited by cracking of the hard phase (Si). Mechanisms that …

In certain alloy systems, a liquid of a fixed composition freezes to form a mixture of two solid
phases, one of which may be faceted and the other nonfaceted (ie, a 'degenerate'or irregular …

Micro-and nanostructure investigations of AlSi10Mg alloy powders and additive
manufactured samples were performed to highlight common effects related to very fast local …

The effect of DCT time (1 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h) on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of spinning deformed A356 alloy subject to solution-DCT-aging multiplex heat …

The influence of 5 GPa-level high pressure on the microstructure and mechanical properties
of Al–7Si–3Cu-0.4 Mg and Al–7Si–3Cu-0.4 Mg-0.5 Ge alloys is investigated. It is found that …

Multiple lines of evidence indicate an active hydrogeological history of Mars and
chemolithoautotrophy-suited environments within its Noachian terrains. As a result, one of …

The influence of Eu additions upon the silicon phase and mechanical properties of Al-40Zn-
6Si alloys have been investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-angle …

The tungsten–microbial interactions and microbial bioprocessing of tungsten ores, which are
still underexplored, are the focus of the current study. Here we show that the …

The solidification behavior, microstructure and silicon twinning of Al-10Si alloys with Yb
addition were investigated by thermal analysis, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction …

This work is aimed at characterizing the changes induced in the microstructure of an Al-7Si-
0.4 Mg (A356) alloy when 0.3 wt% Er (alloy E3) and 0.3 wt% Er plus approximately 0.5 wt …
