Abstract Refining the Si phase in Al‒Si alloy has been a research interest for decades. Previous studies suggested many Al- and Si-enriched nano-segments (approximately 100 nm) can coexist in a melted Al–Si liquid solution when they were reheated to a temperature between 1080 and 1290 °C. These nano-segments could be retained to become crystal nuclei and grew into fine grains under a very fast cooling rate. Thus, this provides a novel approach of refining the microstructure of Al–Si alloy using electron beam melting (EBM) technology because the temperature exceeds 1500 °C in the melting pool with… More >
