Effect of rapid solidification on the microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-pressed Al–20Si–5Fe alloys

Structure and properties of nanostructured A357 alloy produced by melt spinning compared with direct chill ingot

“…For the fabrication of metallic alloys, rapid solidification process shows a marked enhancement of mechanical properties over the conventionally processed alloys of the same composition through the extension of solid solubility limit, the refinement of microstructure and the dispersion of secondary phases [1,2]. Furthermore, it is possible to produce metastable materials such as quasi-crystals, nano-crystals and amorphous alloys by cooling metallic melts at cooling rates exceeding 10 4 K s −1 [3][4][5].…”

The Effect on Electrochemical Properties of Co on Al-Si-Fe Alloys for Anode Material of Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…One of them is prevention of intermetallic phase formation such as β-Al5FeSi by insufficiency of X-ray diffraction in detecting phases with low volume concentrations below 5 vol pct. [9] and the other is inability of milling time to form any intermetallic phases. [10].…”

Modification of horizontal continuous casting Al–12%Si alloy using FSM master alloy

“…Sr and Na are the most widely used elements modifying the morphology of eutectic Si in Al-Si alloys [6][7][8][9][10]. Density twins emerging inside the Si crystals is the typical characteristic of the Sr or Na modified eutectic Si.…”
