Structural characterisation of liquid AL-SI hypoeutectic alloys

Several studies in the past decades have been devoted to characterize the solid and semi-solid structures of the commercially important Al-Si alloys. However, minimum efforts were directed to characterize the liquid structure of these alloys. Characterizing liquid structures will enable an in-depth understanding of the melt behavior and the nucleation events in the melt prior to solidification. Liquid phase diffraction experiments were carried …
