Al–5.7 wt% Ni eutectic alloy was directionally solidified upward with different temperature
gradients (0.83–4.02 K/mm) at a constant growth rate (0.008 mm/s) and with different growth …

Abstract Al (100− x)-Cu x alloys (x= 3 wt%, 6 wt%, 15 wt%, 24 wt% and 33 wt%) were
prepared using metals of 99.99% high purity in vacuum atmosphere. These alloys were …

The Al based alloys (Al–3wt% Si, Al–3wt% Cu and Al–1wt% Ti) were prepared using metals
of 99.99% high purity in the vacuum atmosphere. These alloys were directionally solidified …

In the present work, the effect of heat treatments on the microhardness and tensile properties
of the Al–0.25 Zr (wt.%) alloy have been investigated. The Al–0.25 Zr (wt.%) alloy was …

An alloy of composition Al-12.6 wt.% Si was prepared using metals of 99.99% purity.
