Aluminum becomes the most popular nonferrous metal and is widely used in many fields
such as packaging, building transportation and electrical materials due to its rich resource …

It is known that heat treatment causes the spheroidization of eutectic silicon. This paper
presents the influence of T6 heat treatment on the microstructures, tensile properties, and …

Grain refinement of Zr–containing Al alloys has attracted extensive attention for many years
in both industry and academia, since “Zr–poisoning” phenomenon always happens when …

This paper investigates a study on the effects of heat treatment on the microstructure, quality
of casting and mechanical properties of Al-7Si-0.3 Mg (LM25) alloy. The large reputation of …

Understanding the evolution of Fe–containing intermetallic compounds (Fe–IMCs) in Al–Si–
Mg alloys is essential for improving the mechanical performances. This paper aims to …

A new kind of AlCoCrFeNiTi high-entropy alloy (HEA) as a grain refiner was prepared by
vacuum arc melting. In this work, the effects of HEA (1.0 wt.%, 2.0 wt.% and 3.0 wt.%) on the …

An ultrasonic peening device was used to supply ultrasonic vibration during cold metal
transfer welding of Al alloys. Application of ultrasonic vibration was found to increase the …

A simple, economic, and effective mechanical vibration method was introduced into the
solidification process of A356 aluminum alloy during the expendable pattern shell casting …

In the present work, the combined effects of mechanical vibration and wall thickness on the
microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 aluminum alloy produced by the …

In this paper, high-strength ultrafine-grained (UFG) pure aluminum (Al) was successfully
achieved via a two-step processing route including room-temperature ECAP process for …
