J. Shen et al., Characteristics and microstructure of a hypereutectic Al-Si alloy powder by ultrasonic gas atomization process, J MAT SCI T, 17(1), 2001, pp. 79-80
A hypereutectic Al-Si alloy powder was prepared by ultrasonic gas atomizati
on process. The morphologies, microstructure and phase constituent of the a
lloy powder were studied. The results showed that powder of the alloy was v
ery fine and its microstructure was mainly consisted of Si crystals plus in
termetallic compound Al9FeSi3, which were, very fine and uniformly distribu
ted.
