Microstructural features and final mechanical properties of the iron-modified Al-20Si-3Cu-1 Mg alloy product processed from atomized powder

Microstructural and mechanical properties of binary Ni–Si eutectic alloys

“…As the alloys with high strength play significant role on the aerospace, automotive, electrical and electronics industries, improving their properties and application of these alloys in different areas have been a subject of growing interest in the field of materials science [1][2][3][4][5]. Nickel-based alloys are amongst these materials used in a very wide range of applications and are promising materials for future application.…”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al–Si–X alloys fabricated by gas atomization and extrusion process

“…Al-Si alloys are well known as typical high-strength and lightweight cast materials, which are widely used in automotive and aerospace industries due to their higher strength, good wear resistance and low thermal expansion co-efficient [1]. Currently Al-Si alloys are manufactured by casting and powder metallurgy methods.…”

A new nucleation mechanism of primary Si by like-peritectic coupling of AlP and Al4C3 in near eutectic Al–Si alloy

“…As the desirable combination of characteristics of Al-Si near-eutectic and hypereutectic alloys depends on the primary Si grain size to a large extent, the modification of primary Si is being studied more widely with increasing usage. Various methods have been used for the modification of primary Si particles, such as rapid cooling [6], low temperature casting [7] and various alloying additions [8]. Microstructure control using minor element addition has been the most popular method due to its simplicity.…”
