The results show that the addition of Si does not have any effect on alloy strength; however, it decreases the ductility of the as-cast Al-4.5%Cu alloy. It is obvious that after T4 heat treatment, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-4.5%Cu-Si alloys are improved, especially for the alloy with an Si addition of 2%.展开更多
Nucleation sites of α-Al grains after addition of an Al-Ti-B master alloy into pure aluminium have been investigated using EPMA. The results show that either TiAl3 or boride particales can nucleate α-Al grains. But ...Nucleation sites of α-Al grains after addition of an Al-Ti-B master alloy into pure aluminium have been investigated using EPMA. The results show that either TiAl3 or boride particales can nucleate α-Al grains. But the number of TiAl3 nucleants is reduced with the holding time prolonged and the boride-nuclei are increasing gradually. Based on these results, a new refining method, adding molten Al-Ti-B into commercially pure aluminium, which has a quicker and better refining efficiency is presented.展开更多
The structure of Fe-2.0%C alloy melt was investigated at 1580, 1560, 1540 and 1450℃ by using an X-ray diffractometer respectively.

The results showed that with decreasing temperature, the average atoms of cluster, the coordination numbers, the correlation radius and the atom density increased, whereas the pre-peak of the structure factors curve remained almost at the same position. The appearance of the pre-peak indicated that the liquid structure and the solid structure of the Fe-2.0%C alloy were correlated.展开更多
