Abstract
A method of minimizing the size of primary Si in Al—Si alloy which includes a step of adding P to molten Al—Si alloy, a step of contacting a metal substrate plated with Zn or a copper substrate, and a step of removing the substrate from the molten Al—Si alloy.
Claims2
A method of minimizing the size of primary silicon in Al—Si alloy comprising a) adding phosphorus (P) to molten Al—Si, b) contacting said molten Al—Si alloy with a metallic substrate plated with Zn or copper for forming ZnP or CuP and for temporarily reducing the temperature of said molten alloy, c) standing said molten alloy for a very short time to return the temperature of said molten alloy to its original temperature for forming Al—Si—P.
