Lanthanides: a focused review of eutectic modification in hypoeutectic Al–Si alloys
A modified fibrous-like eutectic structure strongly improves the final mechanical properties of Al–Si foundry alloys, especially ductility. Beside widely used commercial eutectic modifiers such as Sr and Na, lanthanides appear to be a possible alternative in the eutectic Si modification process for...
