Formation of Three-Component Phases in Silumins Using a Modifying Mixture Based on Refractory Metals

Аннотация

The results are presented from experimental studies of the microstructure and phase composition of AK7ch Al–Si alloy with an iron content of 0.4 wt % before and after introducing a modifying mixture based on ultradisperse powders of metal oxides and cryolite into the melt. The formation of three-component phases α-Al₂FeSi and β-Al₅FeSi is established experimentally. The effect iron has on the crystallization of eutectic mixtures is considered using the phase diagram of the Al–Fe–Si system.
