Characterization of Hypereutectic Al-Si Powders Solidified under Far-From Equilibrium Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rapid solidification microstructure of gas-atomized Al-Si powders of 15, 18, 25, and 50 wt pct Si were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order of increasing particle size, the powders exhibited microcellular Al, cellular/dendritic Al, eutectic Al, and primary Si growth morphologies. Interface velocity and undercooling were estimated from measured eutectic spacing based on the Trivedi–Magnin–Kurz (TMK) model, permitting a direct comparison with theoretical predictions of solidification morphology. Based on our observations, additional conditions for highundercooling morphological transitions are proposed as an extension of coupled-zone predictions.

FIB cross-sectioning of a single rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-Si powder particle for HRTEM.
A creative technique of in-situ focused ion beam (FIB) extraction was introduced to prepare a gas atomized rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-Si single particle's cross-section for High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) analysis. This preparation technique may be employed to characterize very inimitable samples that are abnormally wrought or intricate to prepare through tradi...
متن کاملThe Pseudo-Eutectic Microstructure and Enhanced Properties in Laser-Cladded Hypereutectic Ti–20%Si Coatings
Ti5Si3 is an attractive light weight reinforcement phase in hypereutectic Ti–Si-based alloys, however, the proeutectic Ti5Si3 phase is brittle and is easily coarsened when the alloy is prepared under normal solidification conditions, thereby limiting its engineering applications in the aviation and biological industries. In this study, a hypereutectic Ti–20%Si coating with a pseudo-eutectic α-T...

Al-5Ti-C master alloy was prepared and used to modify hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-20%Si alloy with Al-5Ti-C master alloy additions (0, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0, 1.6 and 2.0 wt%) were investigated. The results show that, Al-5Ti-C master alloy (0.6 wt%, 10 min) can significantly refine both eutectic and primary Si of hypereutectic ...
متن کاملRevealing heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si by AlP in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.
The heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si can be attributed to the presence of AlP. Although P, in the form of AlP particles, is usually observed in the centre of primary Si, there is still a lack of detailed investigations on the distribution of P within primary Si and eutectic Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys at the atomic scale. Here, we report an atomic-scale experimental i...
