After more than 80 years of practical experience and despite many noted research efforts,
theories that rigorously explained the formation of the silicon eutectic phases and the …

In certain alloy systems, a liquid of a fixed composition freezes to form a mixture of two solid
phases, one of which may be faceted and the other nonfaceted (ie, a 'degenerate'or irregular …

The varied mechanisms of yttrium (Y) modifying a hypoeutectic Al–Si alloy under conditions
of different cooling rates were investigated using solidification curves, scanning electron …

In this study, the influence of homogenisation heat treatment effect on Zn–3Mg alloy
proposed for biodegradable bone implants was investigated. The alloy was developed via …

Ce element was introduced to modify Al-2% Fe (mass fraction) binary alloy. The
microstructures, crystallization behavior, electrical/thermal conductivities and mechanical …

Abstract The roles of Bismuth (Bi) and Antimony (Sb) additions to hypereutectic Al-Si alloys
with significant variation in solidification cooling rates have yet to be unraveled. Both …

Incorporation of silver nanoparticles into Cu-based shape memory alloys is recommended to
enhance their phase transformation behaviour. However, this incorporation can affect their …

Refinement by addition elements of Al–Mg 2 Si alloys is known to result in a change of
primary Mg 2 Si morphology. In this paper, the effects of Bi, Sb and Sr on the characteristic …

Abstract The Al–Si–Cu–Mg cast alloy was modified with additions of Ti–V–Zr to improve the
thermal stability of intermetallics at increased temperatures. A combination of electron …

The effects of Sm additions (0, 0.5 wt.%, 1.0 wt.% and 1.5 wt.%) on the eutectic Si and β-Al 5
FeSi phases of ADC12 as-cast alloys were studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning …
