Ultrasound influence of dendritic structure of АК7 alloy during its preparation to thixocasting

Metal Matrix Micro- and Nanostructural Composites (Review)

“…Plasma synthesis method along with the biplanar MHD-mixing and incorporation of the nanoparticles into the melt in the form of nanosize powder composites, produced by mechanical alloying in high-energy mills, possesses a number of advantages [23]. Biplanar MHD mixing of the hypoeutectic silumins in the liquid and twophase states allows solving the problem of equal distribution of the particles in the melt volume, ensuring the degeneration of the dendrite structure and the possibility to use all the advantages of thixocasting for producing nanocomposites.…”
