Analysis of Different Solution Treatments in the Transformation of β-AlFeSi Particles into α-(FeMn)Si and Their Influence on Different Ageing Treatments in Al–Mg–Si Alloys

In the as-cast state, Al–Mg–Si alloys are not suitable for hot forming. They present low ductility due to the presence of intermetallic β-AlFeSi particles that form in the interdendritic regions during the solidification process. Homogenization treatments promote the transformation of these particle...
