Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals can be broadly accomplished via two defined
technologies: powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. During AM fabrication, the …

Abstract Al–Si–Mg cast alloys can be imparted with a wide range of mechanical properties
through heat treatment, thus meeting the required performance of various vehicle …

In this research, ZL104 aluminum alloy flywheel housing with large wall-thickness difference
and complex shape were formed via local-loading squeeze casting. The effects of T6 heat …

In this work, precipitation behavior and mechanical performances of A356. 2 alloy (treated
by Al–6Sr–7La composite refinement-modification agent) were studied for the first time …

The effect of thermal exposure at 350° C for 200 h on microstructure and mechanical
properties was investigated for Al− Si− Cu− Ni− Mg alloy, which was produced by …

The application of an innovative high-pressure T6 treatment (HPT6) to additively
manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy is reported in this paper. The aim of this treatment is to obtain …

The thermal conductivity of alloys is gradually becoming appreciated. It is often assumed
that heat treatment can improve the thermal conductivity of Al-Si-Mg-Cu alloys, but there has …

Abstract The Cu–Ge solid solution alloys have a limited color range and relatively low
strength due to its limitation of Ge solubility for a solid solution α-Cu phase at room …

The metallurgy of cast aluminum alloys has always been considered to be different from that
of wrought alloys. Metallurgists have been taught that pores are intrinsic in cast aluminum …

The microstructures and mechanical properties of high pressure die cast A383 alloys under
four conditions (with and without Sr additions and heat treatment) were investigated. Sr …
