In the present work, the effects of Gd on hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) of as-cast Mg 96.94-
Zn 1-Y (2− x)-Gd x-Zr 0.06 (x= 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 at%) alloys reinforced with long-period …

In this paper the influence of copper and magnesium content in the microstructural evolution
during the solidification of Zn–4wt.% Al hypoeutectic alloys was investigated using the CA …

The effect of Ni and Si contents on the fluidity of Al-Ni-Si alloys were investigated via a spiral
permanent mould. The characteristic parameters related to fluidity during solidification were …

For the compromise of mechanical properties and product cost, the end-chilled sand casting
technique was applied to studying the microstructure evolution of A356 Al alloy with cooling …

Two theoretical criteria represented by Katgerman, and Clyne and Davies for
prognosticating hot tearing sensitivity were compared. Both unrefined and grain-refined …

Zircon tailing sand (comprised of SiO 2 and Al 2 SiO 5) was utilized as reinforcement
precursors to prepare aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) by using indigenously …

To enhance the properties of bulk thermoelectric (TE) materials, preparation methods have
been intensively developed with advanced techniques, eg, zone-melting, Bridgman or …

The effect of Zn and Y on hot-tearing susceptibility (HTS) of Mg–x Zn–2 x Y (x= 1, 1.67, 2.67)
alloys is investigated. It is found that the microstructure of the alloys is mainly composed of α …

Mg–7Gd–5Y–0.5 Zr alloy has excellent mechanical properties but poor hot tearing
resistance. The latter makes it difficult to cast billets, which limits the size of subsequently …

On the basis of studying the effect of rare earth elements on hot tearing susceptibility (HTS)
of Mg–Zn alloys, further exploring effective ways to reduce HTS of Mg–Zn–Y alloys are very …
