Summary: The rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-3Ni-3Sb alloy exhibited significantly reduced particle size of Al3Ni intermetallic compounds, leading to a more than doubled microhardness compared to conventional cast alloys. This enhancement in microhardness was attributed to the contraction of Al3Ni intermetallic structure on the alloy surface.

Summary: According to thermodynamics, the crystal growth velocity is expected to increase monotonically with increasing undercooling. However, Al-rich Al-Ni alloys exhibit an anomalous solidification behavior where the solid-liquid interface velocity slows down as the undercooling increases. Recent microgravity experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) have confirmed this unexpected trend in solidification kinetics and observed multiple nucleation events.

Summary: The microstructural characteristics of a conventional Al-Si-Cu alloy (ADC12) material were found to be dependent on the amount of Si present during solidification, resulting in different crystal structures and morphologies. Higher silicon concentrations led to coarser microstructures, while lower silicon content resulted in more orderly and smaller crystal growth.

Summary: The study improved the microstructure of Al-Si alloys by adding different modifiers and applying ultrasonic melt treatment. The results showed that the Al-2P master alloy modifier had a more stable effect compared to the phosphorus modifier, which required a higher amount for similar refinement results. The ultrasonic treatment was found to be more effective for phosphorus modification.

Summary: Increasing solidification pressure leads to reduced SDAS and transformation of eutectic Si morphology in Al alloys. The high pressure promotes the formation of nano-sized particles, enhances hardness and compressive strength, with alloys solidified at 4 GPa showing the highest mechanical properties.

Summary: The Al-Zr-Sr inoculation showed excellent refining and modification effects on Al-7Si-0.5 Mg alloy, with the refining effect gradually enhanced with the increase of inoculant dosage. However, excessive Zr element in the inoculant can lead to the appearance of large rod-like particles, resulting in a decrease in elongation of the alloy.

Summary: The study reveals that microstructure and texture of Ni50Mn28Ga22 alloys significantly influence their magneto-mechanical properties, especially under different annealing conditions. X-ray phase analysis shows the presence of modulated structures and anisotropic orientations in the ribbons, with Auger spectroscopy confirming the presence of manganese-rich precipitates. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the alloy's performance and characteristics.

Summary: Creep experiments on a rapidly solidified Al-8.5 wt% Fe-1.3 wt% V-1.7 wt% Si alloy suggest that it exhibits similar or superior deformation resistance compared to other high temperature Al alloys. Stress reduction results show that FVS0812 exhibits similar creep characteristics to those of other dispersion-strengthened alloys under constant structure conditions following stress reductions, even though the creep mechanism is determined to be significantly different. The role of the particles is to carry a portion of the applied load rather than causing dislocation detachment, local climb, or general climb.

Summary: The novel Al-13.2Zn-2.5Mg-1.2Cu-0.2Zr alloy was prepared by melt spinning and extrusion, and then strengthened by solution treatment and artificial aging. The bimodal grain structure, formed by precipitate-assisted dynamic recrystallization, contributes to a good strength-ductility combination. However, further solution treatment and aging lead to increased strength but reduced ductility due to coarsening of second-phase particles and thickening of precipitate free zones near grain boundaries.

Summary: This research focuses on the microstructure evolution and pattern formation in multi-component, multi-phase metallic materials during freezing, specifically investigating the solidification behavior of the three-phase Al-Cu-Mg eutectic. Results show that the stability of three-phase coupled growth in this system is influenced by velocity, gradient, and composition, with comparisons made to thermodynamically predicted values. Unlike the related Al-Ag-Cu eutectic system, thermal gradient was found to have no measurable effect on eutectic spacing or pattern in this study.

Summary: In this study, the microstructure, thermal stability, and anti-corrosion properties of quinary Al-Ni-Y-Co-Si high-entropy metallic glass ribbons were investigated. The results showed that the wheel speed had little influence on the thermal stability of the ribbons. Increasing the wheel speed resulted in a decrease in Vickers microhardness of the ribbons. The alloy ribbons fabricated with a wheel speed of 2000 rpm exhibited the lowest corrosion rate and the best corrosion resistance.

The Ho3+-doped ZnO nanorods exhibited crystallization in the (002) direction with homogeneous distribution on the substrate. Variations in Ho3+ doping concentration resulted in differences in electrical conductivity and optical transmittance of the samples.

Summary: The addition of Zr has significant effects on the performance and structure of Ti-12V-4Al high temperature shape memory alloys. As the Zr content increases, the austenite transformation temperatures and activation energy values decrease, the thickness of martensitic plates decreases, hardness and reduced elastic modulus values decrease, and the superelastic behavior weakens at room temperature but strengthens at high temperatures.
