Abstract

Fe contamination is a serious composition barrier for Al recycling. In Fe-containing Al-Si-Cu alloy, a brittle and plate-shaped β phase forms, degrading the mechanical properties. 4D (3D plus time) synchrotron X-ray tomography was used to observe the directional solidification of Fe-containing Al-Si-Cu alloy. The quantification of the coupled growth of the primary and β phase (Al5FeSi) via machine learning and particle tracking, demonstrates that the final size of the β intermetallics was strongly influenced by the solute segregation and space available for growth. The temperature gradient direction controlled the β orientation. The work can be used to validate predictive models.
