Microstructure Refinement by a Combination of Heat Treatment and Thixoforming Process Followed by Severe Plastic Deformation and Their Effects on Al-Si Alloy Hardness

Microstructure Refinement by a Combination of Heat Treatment and Thixoforming Process Followed by Severe Plastic Deformation and Their Effects on Al-Si Alloy Hardness

This study fabricated a thixoformed Al-7% Si alloy using the cooling slope technique and subjected it to heat treatment before processing with severe plastic deformation to determine the effect of this combination method on the microstructure refinement and hardness of Al-Si alloys (300 Series). Eac...
