摘要
The aluminum-silicon eutectic reaction was of great interest ever since Pacz patented aluminum-silicon alloys in 1921. However, despite the many hypotheses proposed over the past 80 years, the genesis of this technologically important transformation and the crystallographic relations between its constituents remain uncertain. This paper introduces the focused ion beam (FIB) milling technique as a viable method for producing good quality transmission electron microscope (TEM) samples of cast aluminum-silicon alloys.
