Even though the importance of composites as engineering materials is identified in the last
century, the actual research hunt started completely in the recent years. These materials …

In this article, aspects related to A319 (AlSi5Cu3) and A356 (AlSi7Mg) alloy are covered
owing to their prominent role in the automotive and aerospace industries. It is important to …

The near-eutectic Al-12 wt.% Ce alloy has been alloyed with 0.4 wt.% Sc to improve its
creep resistance. A bidirectional influence between Sc and Ce has been identified:(i) the Ce …

Grain size engineering, particularly reducing grain size into the nanocrystalline regime,
offers a promising pathway to further improve the strength-to-weight ratio of Al alloys …

This study delves into the investigation of intermetallic compounds, specifically Al 3 Ni, Al 3
Sn, Al 2 Cu, Ni 3 Al, and their formation during the alloying additions and heat treatment …

The influence of high pressure on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of
Al–Si–Cu–(Ge)–(Mg) alloys was investigated. With the increased solidification pressure, the …

It is a great challenge to avoid the central macro-segregation during the solidification
process of twin-roll casting (TRC), which seriously limits the mechanical properties of 6xxx …

The influence of Ge and Mg additions on the aging response behavior, microstructural
evolution and mechanical properties of Al-Si-Cu alloy was investigated. The addition of Ge …

With the increase in lightweight components, Al-Si-Cu alloys are extensively applied in the
automotive field. In this study, a multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) AlZrNiTi was designed …

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the microstructural evolution and
mechanical properties of Al–7Si–3Cu alloys prepared under high pressure of 5 GPa. It is …
