Intermetallic and dispersoid structures in AA3104 aluminium alloy during two-step homogenisation

Abstract During homogenisation of the AA3104 cast ingot, a phase transformation of intermetallic particles from β-Al6(Fe,Mn) orthorhombic phase to harder α-Alx(Fe,Mn)3Si2 cubic phase occurs. The large constituent intermetallic particles, regardless of phase, assist in the recrystallisation nucleatio...
