X‐ray tomography is a versatile tool in materials research and engineering since it allows for
a non‐destructive and three‐dimensional map** of the constituents of a heterogeneous …

Iron is the most common impurity in aluminium and its alloys. It is not easily removed and it
can cause adverse effects to ductility and castability, particularly in the popular Al-Si based …

The plate-like Fe-rich intermetallics phases in the recycled Al-Si alloys significantly
deteriorate the mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of Mn addition on Fe-rich …

Casting aluminum (Al) alloys have been widely used in the automotive industry to improve
fuel economy as well as to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the vehicle use …

Abstract In secondary Al-Si based alloys, microalloying with Mn and Cr can modify harmful
platelet-type Al x Fe y Si z intermetallic phases to less detrimental α-Al x (Fe, Mn, Cr) y Si z …

Synchrotron and laboratory-based X-ray imaging techniques have been increasingly used
for in situ investigations of alloy solidification and other metal processes. Several reviews …

To better understand the influence of Fe-rich intermetallics on solidification defect formation,
fast in situ synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy experiments were performed on a …

Real-time in situ synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy was used to gain new insights
into and quantify the nucleation mechanisms and growth kinetics of β-Al 5 FeSi …

Abstract Secondary Al–Si alloys Al7. 1Si (1.5-x Mn) Fe (x Mn) Mn with x Mn= 0, 0.3, 0.375,
0.6, 0.75 at.% have been solidified with different cooling rates: 0.05 K/s, 1.4 K/s, 11.4 K/s and …

The characterization of multiple iron-rich phases in high-pressure die-cast AlSi10MnMg
alloy was studied. Attention was focused on the formation and fracture behavior of the …
