摘要
Al-10.2%Si alloy when cast near the liquidus temperature has tremendous potential for producing fine grain structure. However, for casting applications, it requires casting at higher superheating, where this alloy results in large dendritic grain structure. Here, we show that, by applying intensive shearing to the liquid metal prior to casting, dendritic growth can be largely suppressed and fine grain structure can be achieved at higher casting temperature.
