Coarse primary Mg2Si was usually found in Al-Mg-Si alloys. In this experiment, to refine the coarse primary Mg2Si size, ultrasound was used as a new process. Ultrasound was injected to the molten Al-Mg-Si melts directly and its effect was significant. Average size of primary Mg2Si was reduced from 70㎛ to 15㎛, morphology was also changed to polygonal from irregular shape. Moreover tensile strength was improved by 30%, from 112 to 148 after ultrasonic injection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
