Self-propagating exothermic reactions, for instance in the nickel-aluminum (Ni–Al) system, have been widely studied to create high performance intermetallic compounds or in-situ welding. Their easy ignition once phase spacing is reduced below micron scale, makes top-down methods like high-energy ball milling, ideal fabricate such reactive nanostructures. A major drawback of milling need a sinte...

A novel technique to characterize the transition phenomenon from solid to melt of Al-Al₃Ni functionally graded material (FGM) through a wavelet analysis for the development of a thixoforming system is investigated. Identification of an optimum semi-solid condition for thixoforming is necessary not only for the construction of a system but also the fabrication of a near-net-shape product with fi...

In this study, the crystallization behavior of melt-spun Al87Ni10La3 amorphous phase was investigated by using X-ray diffraction and non-isothermal differential thermal analysis techniques. The results demonstrated that the amorphous phase exhibited two-stage crystallization on heating, i.e., at first step the amorphous phase transforms into α-Al phase and at second step Al11La3 and Al3Ni inter...

AlSi10Mg alloys are widely employed in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and microelectronics. This is because its low density, acceptable mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, inexpensive application cost. Advantageous fluidity, short solidification period, minimal volumetric contraction beneficial characteristics under processing such alloys. Despite being used ...
