The mechanical properties of Al–Si alloys are strongly related to the size, shape and
distribution of eutectic silicon present in the microstructure In order to improve mechanical …

In this paper, the Fe-rich phases in and their detrimental effect on aluminum alloys are
summarized. The existence of brittle platelet β-Fe-rich phases lowers the mechanical …

Most metals start their lives in the liquid state, and are subjected to various transfers
involving pouring or other types of surface turbulence. These actions entrain (fold in) the …

The excellent casting behavior and mechanical and corrosion properties of aluminum-
silicon (Al-Si)-based alloys make them ideal for the manufacture of lightweight components …

Abstract 3XX series Al–Si alloys are generally used in corrosive environments open for
oxidation such as rainwater and seawater. The dendrite size and characteristics of the …

In this article, the pore and precipitation phases of A356 aluminum alloy were regulated by
adding element Cu, and the corrosion kinetic behavior was investigated by electrochemical …

In this research, melt of aluminum alloy was modified using Al–10wt.% Sr masteralloy.
Thermal analysis has been used to record the cooling curve of temperature–time for a …

This encyclopedia, written by authoritative experts under the guidance of an international
panel of key researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, is a …

One of the main challenges in processing aluminum alloys in the liquid state is the
avoidance of the formation of double oxide films and their incorporation into the final parts …

The development of new alloys characterized by a high strength-to-weight ratio and low
production costs is one of the major objectives of the modern automotive industry with a view …
