Microstructural, microscratch and nanohardness mechanical characterization of secondary commercial HPDC AlSi9Cu3-type alloy

A key issue in producing high quality aluminum automotive components using High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) process is minimizing the amount of imperfections. In the present research work, by means of optical microscopy (OM), SEM, TEM and AFM characterization techniques, microstructural evolution of...
