Na. Belov, EFFECT OF EUTECTIC PHASES ON THE FRACTURE-BEHAVIOR OF HIGH-STRENGTH CASTABLE ALUMINUM-ALLOYS, Metal science and heat treatment, 37(5-6), 1995, pp. 237-242
High-strength castable aluminum alloys have a lower plasticity and fra
cture toughness than deformable alloys. This is associated for the mos
t part with the morphology and the nature of the distribution of phase
s of eutectic origin, which are always present in their structure. The
factors affecting the fracture of high-strength castable aluminum all
oys are considered in the present work.
