These casting processes provide very different microstructures consisting of a-Mg and b-Mg17Al12. The shape and distribution of the brittle b-Mg17Al12 has a large influence on mechanical properties. Isolated particles of b-phase in squeeze cast components are less detrimental to ductility […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4739/microstructure-and-mechanical-properties-of-squeeze-cast/feed/ 0
