Abstract

Liquid state manipulations on solidified Al-18%Si structures and properties were investigated based on its liquid abnormal resistivity-temperature behaviors (LARTB), which suggested a temperature-induced liquid-liquid structural transition (TI-LLST). The primary Si crystals are dramatically refined if solidified from the melt after LARTB range, compared with those before and during it. And then, solidified structures are further ameliorated by suitably mixing the high-temperature melt with low-temperature melt in semisolid state, generating increased tensile strength and ductility synchronously. This work elicits that liquid manipulations for optimizing materials structures and properties can be more effective if information suggesting TI-LLST is detected beforehand.
