This study focuses on primary impurities, called intermetallics, in the microstructure of Al-Si-
X alloys, their formation, effects and treatments to eliminate or ameliorate their deleterious …

The self-healing of metallic material is a relatively new area in materials engineering. It is
inspired by the biological process of healing. This work analyzes the self-healing behaviour …

The present text is the second part of an editorial written for a Special Issue entitled
Advances in Metal Casting Technology. The first part, which was published in November …

The current demand for novel and self-healing material in today's industries is one of the key
challenges. Many engineering applications required tailored properties including self …

This paper presents the individual and the combined impact of melt thermal treatment and
artificial aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 alloy …

The present research investigates the effect of a modified casting process along with/without
Sr-modification on toughness and wear resistance of LM25 alloy. The results have revealed …

Out of many casting techniques, semisolid casting has been proven to be one of the most
reliable methods of metal processing, especially on the likes of aluminum, magnesium and …

The effects of hot spinning and heat treatment on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical
properties of A356 wheel hubs were studied. The results of the microstructure investigation …

In order to investigate the effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the Al-7.0
Si-0.3 Mg alloy at 20–60° C under different heat treatment processes, the tensile mechanical …

In present investigation, correlation between microstructure, mechanical properties and
wear analysis for the non-heat-treated and heat-treated A356 was observed. The rheometal …
