Differential barothermal analysis (DBA or HP-DTA) of the phase transformations in hypoeutectic Al-10 at.% Si and eutectic Al-12 at.% Si alloys was carried out at 100 MPa of argon pressure and at temperatures up to 700°C. Liquidus temperature of Al-10 at.% Si is reduced during melting and crystallization by 3-4°C as compared with the atmospheric pressure data. Increase in the eutectic transformation L ? (Al) ? Si temperature up to 580-581°C during heating was found for the Al-10 at.% Si and Al-12 at.% Si alloys. According to the barothermography data, a slight thermal effect at 553°C is detected for both alloys, which was identified as the decomposition of aluminum-based solid solution and precipitation of silicon particles. The improvement of silicon phase morphology for Al-10 at.% Si and Al-12 at.% Si alloys after hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at the pressure of 100 MPa and temperature of 550°C was found. No porosity in the alloy has been established after HIP treatment. After HIP thermal expansion, coefficients of the alloy are noticeably decreased by 25 (Al-10 at.% Si) and 50 % (Al-12 at.% Si).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
