Abstract Al-Ti-Nb-B refiner shows excellent grain refinement effect for Al-Si alloys compared
to Al-5Ti-B refiner, but the addition of Nb increases the cost of production. This paper …

Tuning solidification microstructure remains a grand challenge for ceramic particles
reinforced Al-Si based composites due to adverse interactions between ceramic particles …

In this work, the graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) and ZrO 2 nanoparticles single-and hybrid-
reinforced AlSi10Mg composites were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The …

Solution heat treatment (SHT), immediately followed by water quenching, can significantly
improve the strength of precipitation-hardenable metallic materials, but frequently …

Al-Si cast alloys are usually composed of α-Al and Al-Si eutectic. Si flakes and Al matrix
generally hold cube-on-cube orientation relationship with the primary interface (111) A …

Although A356 aluminum alloy has poor ductility and strength, the refinement of the initial α-
Al phase has shown promise in improving these properties. The impact of grain refinement …

This study proposes a design concept for an Al-Si-Mg ternary alloy to achieve both high
strength and laser-based powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) processability using calculation of …

This study aimed to enhance the mechanical properties of high pressure die casting (HPDC)
