Abstract:Ternary Al‐Ce‐Ni alloys have a potential in the manufacture of automotive and airspace components, as well as in replacing traditional aluminum alloys in high‐temperature applications, which is determined by the formation of fine and thermally stable Al11Ce3 and Al3Ni eutectic. In this study we successfully improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of a hypoeutectic Al4Ce2Ni alloy by using Zr and Zr+Sc additions combined with ultrasonic melt processing and dispersion hardening. As a result, the gra… Show more
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.
