Abstract

Effects of the high-energy compression plasma flows on the structure, elemental composition, and phase state of Al-44 at.% Si hypereutectic silumin alloy have been investigated. Using scanning electron and optical microscopy it was found decreasing in grain size of both primary silicon particles and Al-Si eutectic parts with increase of absorbed energy density of compression plasma flows. The primary silicon crystals were dispersed down to 300 nm in the result of high cooling rate of the melted layer after its homogenization by means of hydrodynamic mixing. It was found that increase in the absorbed energy density, homogenization of elemental composition in the modifies layer occurs due to increase in lifetime of the melted state and more efficiency mixing process.
