Effect of Ca addition on modification of primary Mg2Si, hardness and wear behavior in Mg–Si hypereutectic alloys

The effect of Ca addition on modification of primary Mg2Si, hardness and wear behavior in Mg–5 wt.%Si hypereutectic alloy has been investigated. The results showed clearly that without Ca addition, most of primary Mg2Si appeared as coarse dendritic morphology with average size of about 215 μm. With...
