Rare Earth Metal-Based Intermetallics Formation in Al–Cu–Mg and Al–Si–Cu–Mg Alloys: A Metallographic Study

This study was conducted on Al–Cu–Mg and Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloys containing either 5%La or 5%Ce. Two levels of Ti addition were examined, i.e., 0.05% and 0.15%. Thermal analysis was the only technique used to obtain castings, from which samples were then sectioned for metallographic examination. Based on...
