A modified fibrous-like eutectic structure strongly improves the final mechanical properties of
Al–Si foundry alloys, especially ductility. Beside widely used commercial eutectic modifiers …

The inoculation method of grain refinement is widely used in research and industry.
Because of its commercial and engineering importance, extensive research on the …

Abstract Al–5 wt.% Si-based alloys with 0.05 wt.% Eu addition were produced by controlled
sand-casting and melt-spinning, respectively. The modification of eutectic Si caused by 0.05 …

Abstract As-cast Al‒Si alloys always face low ductility because of coarse α-Al grains and
large lamellar eutectic Si. Although B-containing refiners and Sr modifiers could refine the α …

The solute adsorption and/or segregation as well as the solute entrapment of Sr, Na and Yb
atoms during eutectic Si growth in a series of high-purity Al–5 wt.% Si alloys was …

The effect of Eu additions (0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1 wt.%) and T6 heat treatment on
the microstructures and mechanical properties of A356 alloy have been investigated in the …

The growth characteristics of eutectic Si in unmodified and Sr-modified Al–12.7% Si alloys
were investigated by microstructure-correlated crystallographic analyses. For the unmodified …

A Sr modifier and an Al-Ti-B grain refiner were simultaneously added to an Al-7Si-0.35 Mg
cast alloy and the interaction between Sr and Al-5Ti-1B was investigated. The combined …

High-temperature performance is a key factor to concern for the application of cast Al–Si
alloys. The evolution of microstructures and mechanical properties of a multiphase Al–Si–Cu …

In this study, A356 matrix and 0.2 vol.%∼ 0.8 vol.% in-situ Al 2 O 3p/A356 composite were
hot rolled to 75% reduction ratio and 0.6 vol.% composite was hot rolled to 75% and 83 …
