Abstract
Abstract Primary particles with faceted cubic morphology were produced in as-cast Al-Mg alloy due to the addition of Sc. The cross-section of the particles revealed some eutectic structure composed of multilayer of ‘Al3Sc + α-Al + Al3Sc····’. At the cooling rate of 200 – 300 K/s, Al3Sc primary phase nucleated initially on oxides within the melt and developed to a cubic structure with a ‘cellular-dendritic’ mode of growth. The formation of α-Al structural shells was attributed as a reason for the segregation of Mg-rich lamellar dendrites at later stages. A growth mechanism for multilayer structure was proposed using the results presented.
