Wettability enhancement of SiCp in cast A356/SiCp composite using semisolid process

Wettability enhancement of SiCp in cast A356/SiCp composite using semisolid process

The effects of SiCp treatment and magnesium addition on microstructural and mechanical properties of Al356/20 wt% SiCp semisolid composites were investigated. The results showed that cleaning and oxidizing of SiCp and addition of 1 wt% Mg resulted in improving wettability, incorporation, and uniform...
