Abstract:The influence of Strain Induced Melt Activated (SIMA) parameters on the globularization of α-Al and microstructure in A356 aluminium alloy were investigated in the present study. After production of samples using conventional permanent mold casting and cold rolling at various reduction, they were heat treated at 590°C for different holding time to spherodize the microstructure. The results indicated that, the grains became smaller, more spherical and having a homogenous distribution by increasing the deformati… 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.
