Description
Summary:The correlation between primary Si and silicide refinement induced by ultrasonic treatment (UST) of multicomponent Al–Si alloy containing Ti, Zr, V, and P was investigated. UST significantly refined the primary Si phase owing to cavitation-induced wetting and deagglomeration of MgAl 2 O 4 particles. Lowering the UST finish temperature caused deterioration of the degree of primary Si refinement, instead leading to silicide refinement. Cavitation-induced silicide nucleation on wetted MgAl 2 O 4 consumed the MgAl 2 O 4 particles, particularly in the case of primary Si nucleation. Similarly, the formation of an AlP phase on the silicide phase reduced the nucleation efficiency of the AlP phase. Poisoning of the MgAl 2 O 4 and AlP phases by the silicide phase was responsible for the deterioration in primary Si refinement. Room-temperature tensile strength and high-temperature elongation were increased by UST and were dependent on the size of primary Si.
