Transient unidirectional solidification experiments have been carried out with an Al–3 wt%
Mg–1 wt% Si alloy under cooling rates (T ̇) in the range 0.2–45 K/s. A reverse cells> …

Iron is the dominant impurity in Al of commercial grade purity and is also added deliberately
in some Al alloys compositions to improve the high temperature strength. Al–Fe castings …

The most relevant range of compositions of Zn–Sn high-temperature solder alloys remains
between 10 and 40 wt% Sn. Hence, transient directional solidification experiments have …

Wettability is defined as the tendency of a liquid metal to spread on a solid surface. The
solder/substrate thermal conductance represented by a heat transfer coefficient, hi, states …

Abstract Al–Fe–Ni alloys show very promising properties for applications in industrial
furnaces and petrochemical plants. Mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are …

Immiscible Al-based alloys of monotectic composition have a particular feature of minority
phases embedded into the Al-rich matrix. The disseminated particles may act as in situ self …

Al–In monotectic alloys are potential alternatives for application in the manufacture of wear-
resistant automotive components, such as cylinder liners and journal bearings. The …

Microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of Ti–49Al (at.%) alloy was
investigated by directional solidification technology under different solidification parameters …

Transient directional solidification experiments have been carried out with Zn-Mg
hypoeutectic alloys under an extensive range of cooling rates with a view to analyzing the …

Abstract Although Zn–Sn alloys have suitable features for high temperature solders, as for
example the absence of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and relatively high melting …
