Synchrotron X-ray microtomography and ptychography were used to characterize the 3D network structure, morphology and distribution of metal carbides in an as-cast IN713LC Ni superalloy. MC typed carbides were found to distribute mainly on the grain b...

Scandium (Sc) has been long recognized as one of the most effective grain refining elements for Al alloys because of the Al3Sc phases formed in an Al melt containing Sc. However, there are still lack of comprehensive studies on the exact mechanism of...
