INFLUENCE OF LASER SURFACE HARDENING ON CORROSION PROPERTIES OF Al-Zn-Si CAST ALLOY

E. Tillová, L. Kuchariková, M. Chalupová, J. Belan, A. Vaško, I. Švecová, University of Žilina, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovak Republic This work is focused on the effect of the laser surface treatment (laser power 50 and 80 W) on microstructure and corrosion properties of self-hardened AlZn10Si8Mg cast alloy used for engine and vehicle constructions. The electrochemical impedance sp...

Revealing heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si by AlP in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.

The heterogeneous nucleation of primary Si and eutectic Si can be attributed to the presence of AlP. Although P, in the form of AlP particles, is usually observed in the centre of primary Si, there is still a lack of detailed investigations on the distribution of P within primary Si and eutectic Si in hypereutectic Al-Si alloys at the atomic scale. Here, we report an atomic-scale experimental i...

Au±Si eutectic alloy formation by Si implantation in polycrystalline Au

Di€erent doses of high-energy Si (0.2±4.5 MeV) were implanted in polycrystalline Au foils (35 lm thick) to form a low melting point Au±Si alloy which can be used for gold soldering. A Au±Si eutectic structure has been observed in the implanted Au foils after annealing at 400°C for 1 h. The Au±Si liquid phase was di€used in the polycrystalline Au foil along the grain boundaries which were ̄atten...
