Mechanism of the Mg<sub>3</sub>Bi<sub>2</sub> Phase Formation in Pb-Free Aluminum 6xxx Alloy with Bismuth Addition

In the present work, free-cutting aluminum alloy AA6026 with 1.1 wt.% bismuth addition was fabricated by different melt preparation methods in order to investigate whether the melt preparation route affects the solidification sequence and thus has an influence on the machinability of the alloy.
