Ultrasound cavitation induced nucleation in metal solidification: an analytical model and validation by real-time experiments (2021)
Journal Article
Huang, H., Qin, L., Tang, H., Shu, D., Yan, W., Sun, B., & Mi, J. (2021). Ultrasound cavitation induced nucleation in metal solidification: an analytical model and validation by real-time experiments. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 80, Article 105832. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultsonch.2021.105832

Microstructural refinement of metallic alloys via ultrasonic melt processing (USMP) is an environmentally friendly and promising method. However, so far there has been no report in open literature on how to predict the solidified microstructures and...

Characterization of the Convoluted 3D Intermetallic Phases in a Recycled Al Alloy by Synchrotron X-ray Tomography and Machine Learning (2021)
Journal Article
Li, Z., Qin, L., Guo, B., Yuan, J., Zhang, Z., Li, W., & Mi, J. (2022). Characterization of the Convoluted 3D Intermetallic Phases in a Recycled Al Alloy by Synchrotron X-ray Tomography and Machine Learning. Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters), 35(1), 115–123. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40195-021-01312-3

Fe-rich intermetallic phases in recycled Al alloys often exhibit complex and 3D convoluted structures and morphologies. They are the common detrimental intermetallic phases to the mechanical properties of recycled Al alloys. In this study, we used sy...
