K. Zhang et Gn. Chen, Effect of SiC particles on crystal growth of Al-Si alloy during laser rapid solidification, MAT SCI E A, 292(2), 2000, pp. 229-231
Rapid solidification microstructures of SiCp/Al-Si composite and the monoli
thic alloy are comparatively studied through laser remelting process. In th
e case of composite, particles disturb the orderly arrangement of primary a
lpha-Al dendrites observed in the base alloy. The underlying mechanisms are
rationalized based on the interaction between the particle and aluminium m
