摘要：
The three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of an AlSi12Ni alloy in as-cast and in solution-treated conditions is characterized by light optical and synchrotron tomography. Eutectic AI-Si alloys containing I wt.% Ni in as-cast condition present networks of connected Si lamellae as well as complex 3D shapes of Ni-containing aluminides. The eutectic Si networks disintegrate during solution treatment in the binary AI-Si alloy while they remain connected in the Al-Si-Ni alloy. The contiguity between eutectic Si and Ni-containing aluminides is maintained, when the alloy is solution treated at 540 degrees C for 24 h. The sphericity of the aluminides is only slightly increased by the solution treatment. The reinforcing role of eutectic Si together with the Ni-containing aluminides is governed by a stable interconnectivity and contiguity of these rigid phases accumulating similar to 20 vol.%. The 3D data obtained by synchrotron tomography quantify connectivity, shape and volume fraction of eutectic Si and aluminides, whereas their contiguity is verified by light optical sectioning tomography.
