@ARTICLE{Dulęba_A._The_2012, author={Dulęba, A. and Cholewa, M. and Scelina, D.}, number={No 1}, journal={Archives of Foundry Engineering}, howpublished={online}, year={2012}, publisher={The Katowice Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences}, abstract={Fabrication and microstructure of the AlSi11 matrix composite containing 10 % volume fraction of CrFe30C8 particles were presented in this paper. Composite suspension was manufactured by using mechanical stirring. During stirring process the temperature of liquid metal, time of mixing and rotational speed of mixer were fixed. After stirring process composite suspension was gravity cast into shell mould. The composites were cast, applying simultaneously an electromagnetic field. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of changes in the frequency of the current power inductor on the morphology of the reinforcing phase in the aluminum matrix. The concept is based on the assumption that a chromium-iron matrix of CrFe30C8 particles dissolves and residual carbide phases will substantially strengthen the composite. The microstructure and interface structure of the AlSi11/CrFe30C8 composite has been studied by optical microscopy, scanning microscopy and X-ray diffraction.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Influence of the Forced Movement of Components on the Structure in Fabricated AlSi/CrxCy Composite Castings}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/86211/PDF/05_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10266-012-0005-1}, keywords={diffusion, composites, Reinforcing phase}, }
