摘要
Alumina/aluminum-silicon alloy composite is manufactured by squeeze casting. The effect of the reinforcementon the morphology of the silicon phase in aluminum-silicon alloy is studied. The results indicate that an alumina fiber canserve as propitious sites for the heterogeneous nucleation of the silicon phase, and the primary silicon in the compositecan nucleate on the surface of the fiber. The fiber in the composite can trigger twin during the coupled growth of thealuminum-silicon eutectic and lead to modification of the eutectic silicon near the fiber.
